Mashburn Construction marks 50 years, plans move to Seaboard Vista

Mashburn Construction is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, marking five decades of growth with plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Seaboard Vista on the second floor of 919 Gervais.

Founded in 1976, Mashburn Construction has grown from a local builder into a full-service construction firm with a statewide footprint. Over the past 50 years, the company has delivered projects across a wide range of markets. The firm has four locations: Columbia, Greenville, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

“As we reflect on 50 years in business, this anniversary is really about our people, past and present, who have built this company project by project and relationship by relationship,” Lee Mashburn, president of Mashburn Construction, said in a news release. “Relocating our headquarters during this milestone year represents a natural evolution of who we are today and where we’re headed next.”

Mashburn has experienced more than 25% growth in its employee base over the past two years, driven by continued demand across its project portfolio. The company also credits its reputation as a top workplace in the construction industry. The new headquarters will support this growth while providing a modern, flexible environment designed to foster collaboration, innovation and long-term sustainability, the release stated.

The headquarters relocation aligns with Mashburn’s broader anniversary theme — honoring its legacy while investing in the future. By reimagining an existing structure within a revitalized downtown corridor, the company continues its long-standing practice of thoughtful building and reinvestment in the communities where it operates, the company says.

“The Vista is the heartbeat of Columbia, and we are thrilled to help develop one of the most historic and prominent buildings in that area. It is fitting to kick off the next half century located at Seaboard Vista,” CEO Paul Mashburn said in the release.

Mashburn anticipates completing the headquarters relocation in late 2026, aligning with its anniversary celebrations.
