KPRS 

 

WHY: Founded general construction company KPRS, which took on projects such as Yamaha Corp. of America headquarters and the Robert Day Sciences Center at Claremont McKenna College. Company reported $877M in revenue in 2023. 

IN THE NEWS: Brea-based KPRS, with Meta Housing, The Foundation for Affordable Housing and the city of Long Beach broke ground on 1400 Long Beach Blvd. in Long Beach.
