Sunkota Construction is proud to announce a significant leadership transition as Les Rowland, a licensed architect and longtime leader in the region’s design industry, assumes ownership and direction of the company. Rowland has been instrumental in the growth of designArc Group since 2008, and his leadership now bridges both firms to deliver enhanced, client-centered construction solutions across South Dakota and beyond.
This transition also marks a strategic alignment between Sunkota Construction and designArc Group, uniting construction management with in-house architectural and engineering expertise to streamline project delivery and enhance long-term client value.
To celebrate this milestone, Sunkota Construction will host a Ribbon Cutting and New Ownership Open House on Wednesday, September 3 at 11:30 AM at our Sioux Falls office. Community members, clients, and partners are invited to join us as we mark this exciting new chapter together.
“We’re building on Sunkota’s strong foundation by deepening local relationships and streamlining how architecture and construction come together,” shares Rowland. “Clients benefit from an aligned team focused on clarity, trust, and open communication at every step.”
He adds, “This collaboration makes the entire process smoother, from early decisions to project completion. Clients can expect better timelines, clearer coordination, and stronger outcomes, all grounded in a community-centered approach.”
