Steve Bauer Promoted to Project Director and Special Projects Lead at Holland Construction Services
(St. Louis, MO – June 2025) – Holland Construction Services is pleased to announce the promotion of Steve Bauer to Project Director and Leader of the firm’s Special Projects Group (SPG). Bauer brings more than 18 years of experience in construction management and will now oversee both large-scale developments and Holland’s growing portfolio of specialized, fast-paced interior and renovation projects.
Since joining Holland in 2020, Bauer has successfully led several high-profile projects, including The Avenir in University City, a $64 million luxury apartment community, and Sunnen Station Phase II, a 121-unit residential development in Maplewood. His healthcare work includes the complex renovation of HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in O’Fallon, IL—delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic with zero disruption to patient care.
In his expanded role, Bauer also leads Holland’s Special Projects Group. SPG combines the capabilities of Holland’s self-perform teams with direct management of critical trade partners and suppliers—enabling greater control over quality, schedule, and cost. The group regularly performs scopes ranging from selective demolition and rough/finish carpentry to door and hardware installation, wall panels, specialty siding, countertops, and furnishings.
“Steve has been a key player in our success over the last several years, and his leadership style is a perfect fit for the Special Projects Group,” said Doug Weber, Executive Vice President at Holland Construction Services. “SPG requires someone who can balance technical execution with fast decision-making and client responsiveness—and Steve brings all of that, along with a deep commitment to our values.”
Before joining Holland, Bauer served as Project Manager on several major regional projects, including One Cardinal Way at Ballpark Village, SLU’s Grand Hall, and the $250 million Meldahl Hydroelectric Dam in Kentucky. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
