Burr & Forman represented GCON, a Phoenix-based general contractor, in its acquisition by Webcor, a San Francisco-based general contractor and wholly owned subsidiary of a publicly traded Japanese parent company. The transaction closed on December 1, 2025.

GCON is a full-service construction management firm serving clients across the technology, healthcare, aviation, higher education, and public sectors. The company operates in 23 states, including active mission-critical environments, data centers, and semiconductor projects across 10 states. Under the transaction, GCON will continue to operate independently under its existing leadership team and brand, with oversight from Webcor.

Through the acquisition, Webcor plans to leverage GCON’s capabilities in the technology sector to expand into new, high-growth markets, while GCON will benefit from Webcor’s financial strength and the global resources of its parent company.
