BUILDING EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES

A well-respected and long-time family-owned business, Blackburn Construction was originally established as R.J. Allen & Associates in Oxford, MS in 1984. The company had its beginnings in condo construction in the 80s and 90s and then lay quiet for nearly a decade. In 2006 the Blackburn Group, owned and operated by David Blackburn and son-in-law to R.J. Allen, purchased an interest in R. J. Allen & Associates, Inc., and was named President of the company. Through his leadership, Blackburn expanded R.J. Allen & Associates into one of the most respected commercial construction companies in the Southern United States within the multi-family and retail construction markets.

The company rebranded as Blackburn Construction in 2020 as part of an effort to bring all the family-owned businesses under a single brand. Today, Blackburn Construction is a construction management and general contracting services company that expertly designs, builds multi-family communities, apartment living, office space, retail, restaurants, convenience stores, assisted living homes and recreational spaces. Blackburn Construction has continued to experience rapid growth with annual projects consisting of 5-6 multi-tenant and 50-55 single tenant projects throughout Mississippi, Texas, Colorado, North Carolina and more.
