For more than 50 years, Turner has been providing commercial construction management and general contracting services for our clients throughout central Ohio and the surrounding counties. In central Ohio, we have a full-time staff of over 200 employees who complete close to $1 billion of construction annually.

Turner’s Columbus office opened in 1965, a time when urban high-rise construction was booming and the experience of a proven commercial builder was in demand. As the builder of choice, Turner's first prominent projects in Columbus included the iconic LeVeque Tower's historic renovation, the Rhodes Office Tower – the city's tallest downtown high-rise at 41 stories - and the JP Morgan Chase McCoy Center at Polaris. 

Vanessa Jester has extensive experience developing workforce and diversity programs which promote economic self-sufficiency among low income and underrepresented populations through entry routes into high-wage, high skill careers. She serves as the focal point for workforce initiatives for Turner Construction in central Ohio and is a member of Metro Schools' Business Advisory Committee.
