DPR Construction recently named Kelly Pratt as the new leader for its Pacific Northwest Business Unit. This move strengthens the firm’s ability to handle complex projects. Pratt is a veteran in healthcare and life sciences. She brings decades of technical building experience to the role.
Owners in the Pacific Northwest currently face rising costs and market volatility. Consequently, they need partners who offer predictable results. DPR aims to meet this demand through deep collaboration. Pratt will focus on transparency and innovative delivery strategies.
“Our strategy is rooted in delivering truly differentiated value to our clients—pairing speed and quality, with lasting value through deep collaboration and an integrated project lifecycle,” Pratt said. “By leveraging integrated teams, innovative building approaches, and a culture that empowers our builders, we’re building smarter, more efficient projects and having fun along the way.”
Pratt has worked with DPR Construction since 2006. She has been based in Seattle since 2017. Her portfolio includes major projects like the Lyell Manufacturing Facility. She also managed the eleven50 Eastlake tower. Her leadership emphasizes schedule reliability and cost certainty.
“Kelly has an extraordinary ability to build trust, empower teams, and create an environment where people do their best work,” stated Jack Poindexter, DPR’s Northwest regional leader. “That strength directly benefits our customers as high-performing teams drive greater efficiency, clearer communication, and more predictable outcomes on technically complex projects.”
Pratt’s appointment signals a renewed focus on growth for DPR in the region. The firm continues to expand its footprint in the Puget Sound area.
