January is off to a great start with our first MBC Quarterly Company Meeting for 2026!
Last week, the MBC crew gathered for our first quarterly company meeting of 2026. We talked through current projects, safety, what's ahead, and some big milestones across the company. Snow matter what was happening outside, it was a good reminder of how much our people matter and how important it is to get everyone in the same room. The best way to build the year ahead is starting with a clear blueprint - and this was no doubt a solid way to kick things off! #mbccares #mbcteam #buildingontrust #starting2026strong

Ring the Bell for Matt! Great turnout for an incredible cause!
What a turnout! This past Saturday, our MBC crew showed up big for the National Brain Tumor Society Race for Hope – Greater Philadelphia, coming together to support our teammate and friend Matt Coleman and the “Ring the Bell for Matt” team. More than $23,000 raised, the third-highest total of the event, and the largest team out there by FAR…proof that when community shows up, it shows up strong. When we put our heads (and hearts) together, good things happen. Huge thanks to everyone who walked, ran, donated, or cheered from afar - every step brings more awareness, more hope, and more reason to keep showing up for each other. #buildingontrust #mbcstrong #buildcommunity #raceforhope #ringthebellformatt #teamcoleman #graymattermatters #researchsaveslives #mbccares #raceforhopegreaterphilly #blairthebear

Ring the Bell for Matt! MBC joins Team Coleman for the Race for Hope this Saturday, 10/11
This upcoming Saturday October 11th, many of us at MBC will be lacing up and joining the "Ring the Bell for Matt" team for the Race for Hope Greater Philadelphia - walking, running, and cheering alongside our General Superintendent, colleague, and friend, Matt Coleman. Thanks to incredible generosity from sooooooo many, Team Coleman crushed their $5,000 goal and raised FOUR TIMES THAT to topple over a whopping $20,000! BOOM! A testament to how many lives Matt has touched, it's now our turn to support him. Every dollar raised is a step closer to hope, research, and cures through the National Brain Tumor Society. This race is about more than fundraising - it’s about community, courage, and proving that no one fights alone. We’ll be there to Ring the Bell for Matt.

Senior Care Living at MBC - three different projects one shared purpose
Senior living and care is not a one-size-fits-all type of build. Some projects are about affordability. Others are about legacy. But all are about lifestyle for new residents. They seem to always revolve around the one thing that we call the MBC difference – dignity in every single detail. MBC is currently building three standout projects that will serve our senior community.
NewCourtland’s Clearfield Apartments in Philly gives MBC the opportunity to deliver 48 affordable units designed for accessibility and independence. Wider corridors. Shared gathering spaces. Layouts that actually work and accommodate those who live there. Dignity is built in detail by detail. Over in Bryn Mawr, the renovations at Beaumont at Bryn Mawr are well underway. To keep disruptions at a minimum, we installed the ICRA Shield Walls (shout out to Shield Wall by Abatement Technologies) - keeping progress separate from residents’ daily life. One small way to honor comfort and trust. And finally, over in Lafayette Hill, at The Hill at Whitemarsh Hawk Ridge Villa, we are building the last two new custom multi-unit residential buildings. MBC’s Danielle Terpoilli, our resident interior designer, has worked with MDP Design to make sure every customized finish was intentional and every choice was thoughtful. These touches make these villas feel not just well-built but personalized for the new residents.
A variety of senior care projects. With a variety of needs, yet one shared purpose - creating places that feel like home. That’s why the details matter. That’s why our owners, partners, and architects trust MBC.
We are proud and humbled to partner with visionary owners, owners' reps, architects, and trade partners who make projects like these possible. Every project starts with trust, and the right GC makes all the difference. Let’s build that together. How can MBC build that special place for your residents? Please reach out and start the conversation. #buildingontrust #mbcbuilds #mbccares #seniorcare #ccrc #communityfirst #projectspotlights #buildingcommunities

Nothing beats the camaraderie of WINNING GOLF!
McDonald Building Company and O’Donnell & Naccarato teamed up for an unFOREgettable day with Winning Golf TV at the spectacular Old York Road Country Club.

Love is in the air at MBC! Congrats to Aubrey and Danny on their beautiful wedding!
LOOK WHO TIED THE KNOT! TWO OF OUR VERY OWN AT MBC! Aubrey Kessler (MBC's Project Scheduler) and Danny McDonald (MBC's Job Cost Accountant), got married on Saturday! Their wedding was absolutely beautiful - full of love, laughter, and packed with the McDonald family. These two lovebirds got engaged earlier this summer and impressively whipped together a gorgeous celebration in only a short few months. It's not every day two of our team members get married, let alone, to each other....and to boot, it was ALSO Aubrey's birthday on their wedding day! From all of us at MBC, congratulations to both of you on your wedding, Aubrey and Danny, we are thrilled for you! #mbcfamily #buildingontrust #welovelove #projectlove #mcdonaldfamily #buildingalegacy
Wildly fun memories at TPZ earlier this month to continue our 15-year celebration!
Flamingos, Tigers, and Bears…OH MY! Earlier this year, MBC raised a glass to 15 years of incredible projects and building our beloved company with our otterly magnificent staff. Last week, we let out our wild side and kept the celebration going – with our family fun-tastic day at Philadelphia Zoo! The MBC crew was ready for a roaring good time, trading in our hard hats for safari hats to have one un-fur-gettable afternoon. From scavenger hunts and caricatures, to a bear-y delicious dinner in the Garden Pavilion – every moment was filled with a zoo-per dose of MBC pride and a walk down memory lane!

Cheers to 15 years with the best herd in the business. Thank you to our incredible staff and trusted partners who made every step of this journey a memorable celebration. #buildingontrust #fifteenyears #mbccares #wildgoodtimes #philadelphiazoo #mbcproud #happyanniversary #mbcfamily
