Murfey Construction first opened with five employees in a small office in Pacific Beach in 2009. On Aug. 1, 2016, the company is scheduled to move its 26 employees to a recently-acquired office building at 2150 Hancock Street in Mission Hills. “We wanted to look for something that would give us an opportunity, if we continue to grow, to add people to the team and not be constricted by our space,” said Jesse Lyons, business development manager. He attributes the company’s growth to two catalysts: “The construction economy has skyrocketed in the last two to three years, and smart decisions made by the principals here, aligning us with larger-scale projects.”
