Boston, MA Suffolk, one of the most innovative builders in the country and one of largest contractors in the Northeast, has promoted Patrick Lucey as its new general manager of the Northeast region. Lucey will be responsible for overseeing the national company’s largest operation, employee base and project portfolio. 

“Pat has been an integral member of the Suffolk family for the past 20 years,” said John Fish, chairman and CEO, Suffolk. “He has overseen some of the most complex and iconic projects Suffolk has ever built, and even more importantly, he is a person of great integrity. He has strong leadership skills, he sincerely cares about people, and his commitment to client service is second to none. Suffolk’s Northeast region is our company’s largest and most diverse operation in the country, so I am thrilled Pat will drive the long-term success and growth of the Northeast region during this critical moment in our company’s storied history.” 

“It is an honor to take on the role of general manager, Northeast, for Suffolk,” said Lucey. “I am so proud to work for this company and I am grateful to John and to the talented group of people I have had an opportunity to work with every day, who truly care about one another. We are committed to helping our clients succeed, to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the built world, and to making a real difference in the communities where we build. I am excited for what’s next.”

Suffolk’s promotion of Lucey is aligned with its ambitious five-year strategy, AC28 (America’s Contractor 2028). AC28 is driven by the leadership team’s commitment to becoming the most successful contractor in America; providing a platform of client services driven by data, technology and artificial intelligence; and achieving double-digit growth. To achieve these ambitious goals, Suffolk continues to promote leaders and executives from within to ensure it is well-positioned for growth while maintaining its unique corporate culture. 

Since beginning his career at Suffolk as a project engineer in 2005, Lucey has held almost every role on a project team, understanding firsthand what it takes to make a project successful. Most recently, Lucey served as executive vice president for Suffolk, managing a $2 billion portfolio of work and helping to launch Suffolk Design, Suffolk’s in-house team of design and engineering experts. 

Lucey has a proven track record for driving operational excellence and leveraging proven processes and sophisticated technologies—including virtual modeling, Lean construction methodologies, robotics, AI and data—to add real value on Suffolk projects and help the company redefine the way the world builds. 

A passionate builder, Lucey has overseen the construction of the largest and most complex projects in the City of Boston, including Mandarin Oriental Boston Hotel and Residences, a two-tower, 14-story luxury hotel and residential complex; Millennium Tower, a one million square-foot, 60-story residential tower in the heart of Downtown Crossing; Encore Boston Harbor Hotel and Casino, the largest single-phase development in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; the award-winning Boston Logan International Airport Terminal E Modernization; the 21-story office tower and adjacent hotel at Parcel 12, Boston’s first air-rights project in 40 years; South Station Tower Residences, a 51-story mixed-use tower atop the iconic South Station; and Raffles Boston, an elegant 35-story hotel and residential tower that represents the brand’s first American hotel. 

Lucey is also passionate about serving the community and giving back to others. He enjoys volunteering in the neighborhoods in which Suffolk builds, and he is proud to serve on the board of Heading Home, one of the Commonwealth’s leading providers of emergency shelter, transitional, and permanent housing for homeless children and adults. He is also a dedicated supporter of The Giving Circle, a nonprofit funded and operated entirely by Suffolk employees, that provides financial aid to members of the built-world community during times of need. In addition, Lucey serves on the boards of NAIOP, the commercial real estate advocacy and research association, and Fishers Island Utility Company.
