James Clark President and COO: Lawrence C. Nussdorf Employees: 4200 Local employees: 2200 Description: Clark Enterprises is the holding company for Clark Construction Group, one of the nation's largest general contractors. The company has projects from coast to coast, with offices in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Oakland, Seattle, Tampa and Costa Mesa, Calif. Subsidiaries include Shirley Contracting Corp., which does highways and heavy construction; Clark Residential, which builds high-end homes; and Clark Global Technologies, which helps high-tech companies with real estate development. Developments: The company prides itself on handling a wide array of projects, from interior renovations of small buildings to constructing sports stadiums. Clark put the finishing touches on several prominent projects in the Washington area in 2003. Most notable was the 2.3 million-square-foot Washington Convention Center downtown, which Clark built with the District's Smoot Construction Co. Clark also completed a renovation of the 700,000-square-foot Brentwood postal facility, which had been closed since the anthrax attacks during the fall of 2001. Significant parts of the facility had to be demolished and rebuilt. The building was renamed in honor of the two mail sorters who died in the attacks, Joseph Curseen Jr. and Thomas Morris Jr. Other local projects Clark wrapped up in 2003 included Terrell Place, a retail and office complex near MCI Center; an 860,000-square-foot quadrangle on Georgetown University's campus; and the City Museum, which sits across the street from the Convention Center. Projects in the area the company is still working on include a new office building at 1601 K St. and a cancer research facility at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The company signed a deal in June to build the new South County High School in Lorton. In July it won the contract for a new headquarters for the Transportation Department in Southeast. And in September it was picked to build a Hampton Inn near the Convention Center. Outside the Washington area, Clark completed a music and dance theater in Chicago and began work on a massive new medical center in Los Angeles.
