Suffolk’s promotion of Lucey is aligned with its ambitious five-year strategy, AC28 (America’s Contractor 2028).

Since beginning his career at Suffolk as a project engineer in 2005, Lucey has held almost every role on a project team, understanding firsthand what it takes to make a project successful. Most recently, Lucey served as Executive Vice President for Suffolk, managing a $2 billion portfolio of work and helping to launch Suffolk Design, Suffolk’s in-house team of design and engineering experts. Lucey has a proven track record for driving operational excellence and leveraging proven processes and sophisticated technologies—including virtual modeling, Lean construction methodologies, robotics, AI and data—to add real value on Suffolk projects and help the company redefine the way the world builds.
A passionate builder, Lucey has overseen the construction of the largest and most complex projects in the City of Boston, including Mandarin Oriental Boston Hotel and Residences, a two-tower, 14-story luxury hotel and residential complex; Millennium Tower, a one million square-foot, 60-story residential tower in the heart of Downtown Crossing; Encore Boston Harbor Hotel and Casino, the largest single-phase development in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; the award-winning Boston Logan International Airport Terminal E Modernization; the 21-story office tower and adjacent hotel at Parcel 12, Boston’s first air-rights project in 40 years; South Station Tower Residences, a 51-story mixed-use tower atop the iconic South Station; and Raffles Boston, an elegant 35-story hotel and residential tower that represents the brand’s first American hotel.
Lucey is also passionate about serving the community and giving back to others. He enjoys volunteering in the neighborhoods in which Suffolk builds, and he is proud to serve on the board of Heading Home, one of the Commonwealth's leading providers of emergency shelter, transitional, and permanent housing for homeless children and adults. He is also a dedicated supporter of The Giving Circle, a nonprofit funded and operated entirely by Suffolk employees, that provides financial aid to members of the built-world community during times of need. In addition, Lucey serves on the boards of NAIOP, the commercial real estate advocacy and research association, and Fishers Island Utility Company.
Lucey is a graduate of Williams College, where he met his wife, Kate. They have two sons and live in the Boston area. When he is not on a job site or in the office, Lucey can be found coaching his kids’ flag football teams.
