Headquartered in Sioux Falls, Sunkota Construction has served South Dakota and the greater Midwest as a general contractor focusing on commercial construction and remodels since 1996. The business, founded by Bob and Jeanette Fraser , was recently acquired by entrepreneurs Les and Sara Rowland . Les had become familiar with the brand when he worked with Sunkota as an architect on the SDSU Innovation Campus Incubator Building project where they were the contractor.

“I have had a respect for the company ever since,” said Les. “When I found out the company was available for purchase, I pursued it due to not only the respect I had, but the desire to provide a greater understanding of the relationships between both professions.” Some of Sunkota’s accolades include Prairie Lakes Hospital in Watertown, and school additions and renovations including Rosa Parks Elementary , Eugene Field Elementary , Robert Frost Elementary , Brandon Valley High School , and Marion School .
