The Lego Group selected Gray|Hourigan, a joint venture of Gray Inc. and Richmond, Va.-based Hourigan, as general contractor for its $1-billion toy manufacturing plant project in Virginia.
The plans call for 13 buildings totaling 1.7 million sq ft on a 340-acre site in Chesterfield County, Va., outside Richmond. Denmark-based Lego said in a statement that it started site preparation work last year and has been refining the design with architect LS3P Associates Ltd. Construction of the plant buildings is planned to start later this year and production at the facility is scheduled to begin in 2027.
