SACRAMENTO, CA — DPR Construction announces that Abe Sipes will lead DPR’s Sacramento Business Unit.
A Stanford University graduate, Sipes joined DPR in 2011 and has delivered projects in and around Sacramento, California, including the design-build Shasta and Yosemite Halls for the University of California, Davis. Most recently, he led the design-build team for UC Davis Health’s 48X Complex, soon to be one of the nation’s largest and most advanced outpatient surgery centers.
“Our team is committed to trying new things, redefining collaborative delivery, and finding new opportunities to achieve our clients’ goals,” Sipes said. “... I’m excited to see what our amazing builders do next as we deliver predictable outcomes for all our customers.”
“Abe is a leader who builds trust, drives innovation, and creates highly collaborative teams,” said Jack Poindexter, Northwest Regional Leader at DPR. “His background in structural engineering offers valuable and actionable experience, especially on the types of technically complex projects we enjoy.”
Sipes will assume the role following veteran DPR leader Nils Blomquist’s shift to lead the company’s business development strategy and client engagement initiatives across the Northwest region, comprising DPR’s offices in San Francisco and Sacramento, California; and Seattle, Washington.

Throughout his career, Blomquist has worked on diverse projects in all five of DPR’s core markets: life sciences, advanced technology, higher education, corporate office, and health care.
“I’m proud of what our team has accomplished in Sacramento and excited to pass the torch to Abe, a proven builder and leader,” Blomquist said. “I’m excited to support our teams across our Northwest region as they bring our customers' dreams to reality."
