Her entrepreneurial experience includes founding Empire Holdings (real estate), Empire Disposal and Empire Roofing. So, when her friend Matt McCoy – with his own impressive career in the real estate industry – wanted to launch Arete Construction, she was onboard. Arete Construction is a commercial general contractor and construction management company serving Fort Worth and the surrounding North Texas region. Naturally, her background building and leading specialty construction companies brings expert operational knowledge and long-term local industry perspective to Arete’s foundation. “Arete Construction is a new company, but it is not starting from scratch,” McGlothlin said.
