A Strong CORE

Results in Positive Growth

When Target General entered the Las Vegas real estate market in 1999, the firm held a less than desirable reputation and sought a turnaround. Longtime construction industry veteran Gary Siroky took a chance and became the company’s president in 2002. Since then, Siroky has successfully restructured the company into a full-service general contracting firm, changing the name to CORE Construction and positioning it for controlled growth in both the public and private sectors.

With offices in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Illinois and Florida, the contractor has vast resources at its fingertips and achieved annual national sales of more than $600 million. The firm has played an integral part in building hundreds of office, retail, industrial, public works/education, hospitality, healthcare and park/recreational projects.

Before accepting any projects, Siroky ensures that his team has enough hands to provide the level of service that clients expect. Each project is matched with the most qualified team suited for the work.

CORE recently finished constructing Durango Village, a 12-building professional office park; Centennial Hills Community Center, the largest in Nevada; the shell and interior of Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada; and medical tenant improvements for Nevada Heart & Vascular and Las Vegas Radiology. Currently, the firm is building Nevada State College’s first permanent facility in Henderson; a 30,000-square-foot medical office building for Las Vegas Urology in the southwest; and a solar-powered office building at Smoke Ranch Road and Rainbow Boulevard.

Last year, Siroky was recognized for his efforts when the Las Vegas Chapter of Associated General Contractors (AGC) recognized him with the organization’s highest honor, Contractor of the Year, for his commitment to Skill, Integrity and Responsibility (SIR Awards).

Recently, Building Design+Construction magazine named CORE as one of the top 10 K-12 school builders in the nation. Based on 2006 billings, CORE ranked seventh nationwide with a total revenue of $183.55 million in the K-12 construction sector, the highest-ranked contractor with an office in Las Vegas. In the past three years, CORE – Nevada has completed ground-up construction or renovation of seven schools for the Clark County School District and is contracted to build three more this year. Because of the company’s involvement with the school district, CORE makes a cash donation to each school it builds.
