Real Estate 2025: ROY, KIM
CEO, HITT CONTRACTING, FALLS CHURCH
Virginia Business //September 2, 2025//
In 2017, Roy became the first nonfamily member to lead the then-80-year-old Hitt company. Interested in building from a young age, she graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor’s degree in construction and joined Hitt in 1999 as an assistant project manager.
Founded in 1937, Hitt has more than 2,000 employees across 14 U.S. office locations. The company reported $8.7 billion in 2024 revenue and ranked No. 10 on Engineering News-Record’s list of the top 400 general contractors this year, a jump of 16 spots from 2024.
Hitt’s recent projects include a $1 billion expansion of Boeing’s facilities in Charleston, South Carolina, for which Hitt is partnering with BE&K Building Group. In January, Hitt broke ground on its new six-story, 270,000-square-foot headquarters in Falls Church, expected to be completed in late 2026.
Roy is also president of Hitt Contracting Foundation, a nonprofit she helped launch focusing on the company’s philanthropic initiatives, and she serves on Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering advisory board.
