The Neyer legacy began in the late 1800’s, and has undergone many changes over the years. Neyer Construction was formed in 1977 as a business unit of Al. Neyer, Inc., to provide construction services and develop and manage a skilled, union labor workforce. In 2002, Neyer Construction saw opportunities to offer its services to the marketplace and now is separately owned from Al. Neyer. The Companies enjoy a mutually beneficial affiliation, underscored by shared values of integrity and dedication to quality.
 
Today, the Neyer family of companies includes full-service real estate investment, development, design and construction firms. Certainly our capabilities have grown since the days of Joseph and Al., but our integrity and commitment to our customers remains as strong as ever. Journey with us through the Neyer timeline, as we highlight our growth.

In 1894, Joseph Neyer, Sr., a Cincinnati carpenter who learned his craft from his German family members, had a hand in building many of Cincinnati’s landmark churches and schools during the late 1800’s. The company incorporated as Joseph Neyer, Inc. in 1918, and for the next 30 years, continued to concentrate on building schools, churches, and public works buildings. In 1947, Joseph’s son, Joseph Jr., and grandson, Alphonse, (Al) reincorporated the company as Al. Neyer, Inc.

Al Neyer’s sons, Ray, Don and Tom joined the firm in the 1950’s. Although the company still concentrated on construction for schools, churches and public works buildings, it began integrating an occasional commercial project.  In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the company emphasis shifts further toward commercial and industrial construction and real estate development.  The original Beechmont Mall was our largest project ever at that time.

Al. Neyer purchased its first land for commercial development in 1963, a 20-acre tract in Fairfax.  With this first industrial park, we began to establish design-and-build standards for industrial facilities. In 1969, just six years after its introduction, the Neyer Industrial Park in Fairfax is fully developed. Al. Neyer retired that year, and sons Ray, Don and Tom assumed management of the firm. The company continued to grow, and a 4th and 5th generation of Neyers join the business in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Then, in 2004, the most significant change for Neyer Construction, Inc. occurred when we created our own brand  identity, including a new corporate logo and slogan, and relocated to the original Red Bank Road offices.
