About
History
A multi-generational family enterprise, the Kiely Family of Companies stands on deep roots and a strong shared purpose. Our legacy company, J.F. Kiely Construction Co., was founded on June 16, 1952 by John F. Kiely Sr., just as America set its sights on space exploration and scientific discovery. He believed we could innovatively design and build our way to a better future—a purpose that continues to emanate from and within the Kiely Family of Companies today.
