Breaking Ground on Something Big

Kroger in Commerce Township: JRC's 104,000 Square Feet of Ground Up Ambition.

A new client. A ground-up build. 104,000 square feet.

Let's get to work.


Jarbou Ronnisch Construction is proud to announce the mobilization of our project with Kroger: a 104,000 square foot ground-up grocery store at 155 Haggerty Road in Commerce Township.


A new project with a nationally recognized brand carries its own kind of weight. A new project that happens to be a ground-up build at this scale? That's the kind of introduction we like to make. From site work to steel to final finishes, our team will bring the same disciplined execution and preconstruction rigor that has defined JRC's work across Michigan — applied now to one of the most recognized names in American retail.


Ground-up construction is where planning meets pressure. There are no existing walls to work around, no phasing compromises, no shortcuts built into the structure. Everything is earned from the ground up...literally.


We're proud to welcome Kroger to the JRC family of clients, and we look forward to delivering a project that sets the tone for a long and productive partnership.

HealthCall Phase One: Complete

A 28,000+ Square Foot Healthcare 
Transformation in the Heart of Royal Oak.

Some projects are measured in square footage. Others are measured in the people they serve. The completion of Phase One at HealthCall Community Healthcare Services in Royal Oak is both.


JRC has officially delivered the first phase of a full-scale renovation transforming more than 28,000 square feet of existing space into a modern healthcare environment — one designed to better support patients, caregivers, and the surrounding community for years to come. From the first demolition swing to final finishes, the project demanded careful phasing, close coordination with an active healthcare client, and an unwavering commitment to quality at every step.


Healthcare construction moves differently than most. Schedules are tighter. Tolerances are smaller. The stakes are higher. Our team met every one of those demands, delivering a space that reflects both HealthCall's mission and JRC's standard for excellence.


Phase One is complete. Phase Two has already begun. We're proud to keep building this relationship, and this space, forward.

What National Brands Look for in a Local Construction Partner



Kroger. CAVA. Nordstrom Rack. Mister Car Wash. Whole Foods. Powerhouse Gym. The list of national brands that have chosen JRC keeps growing — and it's not a coincidence.


National retailers and restaurant groups operate on tight timelines, demanding schedules, and zero tolerance for surprises. What they find in JRC: a team that communicates clearly, moves fast, and delivers exactly what was promised. Every time.


Local knowledge. National standards. That's the JRC difference.
FROM THE FIELD

Detroit Is Building Again - The Multi-Family Momentum



King & Cochrane isn't just a project. It's a statement. Detroit's housing market is in the middle of a genuine resurgence: new residents, new investment, new demand for quality housing close to the city's core.


The numbers back it up: Detroit has seen a surge in multi-family permits over the past two years, and neighborhoods once written off are now drawing serious development dollars from builders who see what the city is becoming, not just what it was.


Detroit: A City That's Earned Its Comeback. JRC is proud to be part of the story.

HUNTER'S SQUARE

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI


This transformation is going vertical. JRC is serving as Construction Manager on this 190,000 sq ft retail repositioning at the corner of Orchard Lake and 14 Mile and the momentum is building. Nordstrom Rack, Total Wine, and CAVA have all broken ground, marking a major milestone for one of Oakland County's most anticipated retail revivals. This is what today's retail landscape demands: a vibrant, multi-tenant destination anchored by names people know and love.

BUILDING HOPE • TEAM JRC

We're Running for Bernie.


This June, JRC employees are joining Team JRC to raise funds for glioblastoma research — in honor of our founder, Bernie Ronnisch, whose legacy continues to shape how we lead, build, and support one another every day.


Glioblastoma is one of the most devastating diagnoses a family can receive. We're proud to stand with the researchers working to change that.

"When a national brand brings their project to JRC, it means something. They've done their homework, and they chose us. Our job is to make sure they never question that decision."
