Discover the key milestones and achievements that have shaped Zachary Construction Group into the industry leader it is today.

The Beginning of a Legacy

434 Rondo Ave, St. Paul, MN

The Zachary family’s journey began 85 years ago in the heart of the Rondo neighborhood, a historic Black community in St. Paul. Jay and Elizabeth Zachary settled here after migrating from the South during Reconstruction.

The Destruction of Rondo

The Federal Highway Act of 1956

The vibrant Rondo community was tragically destroyed when the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 led to the construction of Interstate 94, tearing through the heart of the neighborhood and displacing families, including the Zacharys.

A Legacy of Hard Work

Sacrifice and Resilience

Despite the challenges, the Zachary family’s values of hard work, honesty, and integrity laid the foundation for future generations. From their home in Rondo, they rose to become leaders in law, medicine, education, and business.
