FaverGray Named a 2026 Best Place to Work by Jacksonville Business Journal

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FaverGray, a general contractor specializing in multifamily and student housing construction, has been named one of the Jacksonville Business Journal's 2026 Best Places to Work, recognizing the company among Northeast Florida employers known for creating strong workplace cultures.

The annual Best Places to Work program recognizes companies throughout the First Coast based on feedback from their employees, with confidential surveys evaluating areas including team dynamics, trust in leadership, communication and overall workplace experience.

For FaverGray, the recognition comes at an exciting time of growth. As the company continues to grow, so does its team, creating new opportunities for employees to advance their careers, take on greater responsibilities and contribute to FaverGray's future.

"Our people have always been the foundation of FaverGray," said James A. Gray, CEO of FaverGray. "As we've grown, we've worked hard to maintain a culture where people enjoy coming to work, feel valued as part of the team and have opportunities to grow with the company. Being recognized as a Best Place to Work is especially meaningful because it comes from the feedback of our own employees."

That culture extends beyond the work itself. FaverGray makes it a priority to bring its team together throughout the year, whether it's a monthly food truck at the Jacksonville Beach office, holiday celebrations, team outings or company events. Most recently, employees and their families spent an afternoon together at Beach Bowl for FaverGray's Family Day, and the team is already looking forward to its annual Chili Cook-Off this fall.

Earlier this year, FaverGray completed an expansion of its Jacksonville Beach headquarters with the team in mind. In addition to new office space, the expansion includes indoor and outdoor gathering areas that have quickly become a favorite place for team lunches, monthly food trucks, celebrations and company events. The new space gives employees a place to step away from their desks, spend time together and celebrate the milestones that make working at FaverGray special.

For FaverGray, these investments are part of maintaining the culture that has been central to the company for more than two decades. As the team grows, the company remains focused on creating opportunities for employees to develop professionally, step into leadership roles and build long-term careers at FaverGray.

"Growth is exciting, but what's equally important to us is making sure FaverGray continues to be a place where people want to come to work and build their careers," said Ben J. Hinson, President of FaverGray. "We want to give our team opportunities to grow professionally, but we also want to make time to get together, celebrate our successes and enjoy the people we work with. Our new office expansion is another investment in that culture and in creating a workplace our team can be proud of."

FaverGray remains headquartered in Jacksonville Beach, where the company was founded in 2005. While its project footprint has grown over the years, Jacksonville Beach remains home and an important part of the company's identity.

FaverGray is among the companies selected by the Jacksonville Business Journal for its 2026 Best Places to Work program. Honorees will be recognized at the Best Places to Work event on November 5, 2026, at the Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
