Lease Crutcher Lewis has been building in Central Oregon for 30 years. After years of working out of jobsite offices, the firm has established a permanent office in Bend and has a dedicated local team to serve clients across the region.
The new Bend office, located in the Old Mill District, builds on Lewis’ existing foundation of local resources and is backed by the full capabilities of one of the Pacific Northwest’s leading general contractors.
“Central Oregon has been an important part of our story for a long time now,” said Tony Stewart, Lewis’ Oregon division president. “Establishing an office in Bend allows us to be fully engaged in the communities where we live and work.”
Lewis has been active in the region since 1996, from a renovation of The Great Hall at Sunriver Resort to multiple projects with Bend Research (now Lonza). More recently, Lewis completed Central Oregon Community College’s Wickiup Hall, the Jackstraw mixed-use development, and Sisters Coffee’s newest café. In July 2026, Lewis broke ground on CASCADA Bend, a 130,000-square-foot wellness destination featuring a boutique hotel and thermal spa.
The company also brings nationally and regionally recognized expertise in alternative delivery methods — including progressive design-build — to Central Oregon. The Bend team combines that depth of experience with local knowledge, providing clients with a partner that understands the community and has the relationships to deliver complex work.
The company’s newest office is led by project executive Matt Wycoff, a long-time Bend resident. Wycoff has been building projects throughout Central Oregon for 20 years and serves on the Board of Directors of Economic Development for Central Oregon. Other local team members also live, work and play in Bend.
“We’re committed to responsible development in Central Oregon because we’re part of the community,” Wycoff said. “We understand the need to provide our clients with the best possible service and value while being good neighbors to those affected by our projects. We’re here for the long term, and we’re excited to continue building in Central Oregon for years to come”
With established teams in Portland and Eugene, Lewis continues to provide Oregon clients with local expertise and capacity backed by the resources, experience and passion of a 100 percent employee-owned company that’s been around for 140 years.
