For several generations the Gradison family has been involved in the construction industry. Grandfather Wolford Gradison and his brother Jules Gradison came to Indianapolis in the 1930s and started Tri-State Construction, a road construction business. David Gradison, son of Wolford, became part of the business as well by pursuing development opportunities in the 1970s and 1980s. While Tri-State was sold in the early 1980's, David continued developing both residential and commercial properties.
In the 1980s, David's two sons, Mark and Joe Gradison, graduated from Indiana University with Real Estate degrees from the School of Business. After graduation, Mark and Joe took advantage of an opportunity to learn the development and home building business with their father. In 1986, Gradison Building Corp. was formed and is owned equally by Mark and Joe. Gradison Building Corp. has continued to build and remodel upscale custom homes on the north side of Indianapolis for over 20 years. GBC Development, LLC, a real estate development entity, is also owned and operated by Mark and Joe Gradison and focuses on development opportunities.
