Upward Trajectory

City Creek Construction’s celebrates 25th year with focus on growth and positive community impact.
By Brad Fullmer

A few years ago, Stephen Beyer, Founder and President of Bountiful- based City Creek Construction, made the conscious decision to ramp up his business, which included hiring a couple of well-connected, seasoned professionals and ultimately building a dazzling new company headquarters in Bountiful, completed last year.

“I consider myself fortunate that my business was such that I could come and go. We kept the business small—it really was the deliberate approach in how we operated. It allowed me to help coach my sons’ sports teams,” said Beyer. “Now that they have grown, we are all about accelerating the growth of City Creek Construction.”

With experience in building a strong company and building great sports teams, Beyer knows the value of teams working together to accomplish great things. That has been the foundation of City Creek Construction for the past quarter century and will continue to be the core of its growth moving forward. With a genuine passion for construction and commitment to exceeding client expectations, City Creek has experienced significant growth the past two years.

Adding Talent; Tackling Bigger Projects


Beyer knew adding the experience and talents of CFO Scott Johansen and Business Development VP Bob Murri in early 2020 would ultimately pay strong dividends, and though the pandemic was a temporary hiccup, business has thrived.


“Covid made for a challenging year, but with our combined energy and desire to succeed we rebounded in 2021 and 2022,” said Beyer, adding that delivered revenues doubled from 2021 to 2022.


The firm’s expanded capabilities has translated into larger, higher-profile projects, including the recent completion of 390 South Main in Bountiful, an impressive renovation of a credit union that now serves as the firm’s headquarters, along with housing two other businesses. The project—which was named UC&D’s 2022 Most Outstanding Private Project Under $10 million—is a welcome addition to Bountiful as it aims to improve its Main Street District. Beginning soon, the lot to the west of 390 Main will be transformed into eight high-end townhomes over the next 18 months.


Another top project that recently finished on north Main Street in Kaysville is the beautiful Rasmussen Office Building. This stylish building has a unique exterior comprised of multiple finishes including masonry, glass, concrete and metal paneling. This new office building sets a high bar for office construction in Kaysville and surrounding cities in Davis County.

As renovation experts, City Creek also recently completed the extensive renovation of the Officer’s Club at
Camp Williams built in the early 1940’s. “Renovating historic buildings always brings with it interesting and unique challenges. But that’s what we love to do— we are up for the challenge,” said Beyer.


City Creek has several projects currently underway including new townhomes, renovation projects at the University of Utah Hospital, two emergency operation center renovations, and an apartment complex renovation to name a few. 


“There is a lot of excitement around here—we are chasing bigger projects and having success,” said Johansen. “It’s fun to see the company grow—it’s the collective effort of the entire team working together.” Murri said a strong company culture is
vital to long-term employee happiness and satisfaction and expressed his appreciation for Beyer’s leadership and client-focused approach to business. “Nothing is more important to our company reputation and our ability to grow than focus on service to the customer and delivering exceptional quality and value with every project,” said Murri, who has over 15 years of A/E/C business development experience. He once heard from a co-worker that a company’s reputation is only as good as its last project. This principal has stuck with him and has been his motivation for over a decade.


“We have an amazing team—they have passion for the business and deliver relentless service to our customers.
We look forward to the years ahead, expanding our construction reach and making a real difference in the work and play environments of our communities,” said Beyer. “We have incredibly talented people, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead.”
