THE WEITZ COMPANY // GOVERNMENT CENTER ANNEX, RFQ NO. 15-08-02 / CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL 6 <br />Since 1855 <br />Stable Growth <br />Financial Strength <br />Unlimited Resources <br />ABOUT WEITZ <br />The Weitz Company of today descends from a small carpentry shop <br />founded in 1855 by Charles H. Weitz, an entrepreneurial German immigrant, <br />in Des Moines, Iowa. March 1995 marked the culmination of 140 years <br />of Weitz family leadership and the emergence of an employee-owned <br />company purchased debt-free by 36 stockholders. The number of employee <br />shareholders continued to grow to more than 300 in the mid 2000’s. During <br />that time, The Weitz Company grew from a $250 million general contractor <br />to a $1 billion industry leader, a true testament to the company’s long history <br />of client-centered services and financial stability. In December 2012, the <br />company was purchased by OCI Construction Holding Limited, positioning <br />The Weitz Company for even further growth and construction opportunities <br />both nationally and internationally. OCI Construction Holding Limited is <br />affiliated with Orascom Construction Limited. <br />Weitz has been established in Florida since 1978 and has grown to become <br />one of the largest and most reputable builders in the state.
