About Us

Recently we were described by an architect as "one of the last of the traditional general contractors."  He referenced this to our willingness to bid a firm price and deliver a one-of-a-kind building by a specific date from a set of someone else's drawings and specifications.  Assuming all the unknown risks and variables of the elements we provided a bonded responsibility to the Owner that they will receive this end result of our talent and experience.  We like this reference.  Since 1945, we have earned a reputation that we are proud of.  We are tough competitors.

Our Company History

Eagledale Plaza ribbon cutting

1945 – 1966

The Glenroy Company was formed in 1945 as a general partnership between Glenn Yowler and Roy VanArsdall (GlenRoy). Mr. Yowler was a bricklayer and Mr. VanArsdall had previously been employed as a Real Estate Representative for the Shell Oil Company. The firm's early focus was on the construction of service stations throughout Indianapolis. In 1949, an office was built at 450 South Ritter Avenue (still home to the Glenroy Construction Company today). It was subsequently expanded seven times.

In 1952, Mr. VanArsdall acquired the entire firm from Mr. Yowler and incorporated it, forming the Glenroy Construction Co., Inc. He then shifted the company's focus from service stations to include the construction of homes (such as the Eagledale neighborhood) and commercial projects (such as Twin Aire Shopping Center).

1967 – 1994

In 1967, Jesse N. Jones, III was named President of the company and Mr. VanArsdall assumed the role of Chairman. During this period, Glenroy stopped residential construction and expanded into large-scale projects such as schools, hospitals, and convention centers. Mr. VanArsdall died in September 1986 and Mr. Jones became the sole shareholder of the company.

1995 – 2025

In 1995, C. Lane Slaughter was named President of the Glenroy Construction Co., Inc., having begun his career as an Estimator with the firm in 1978. Mr. Jones assumed the role of Chairman and fully retired in 1999. Mr. Jones died in August 2011.

In 1997, James L. Kojetin was named Corporate Secretary and General Superintendent. Mr. Kojetin began his career with Glenroy in 1984 as a Project Superintendent. Mr. Slaughter and Mr. Kojetin owned and operated the Glenroy Construction Company as joint-partners until Mr. Kojetin's retirement in December of 2025.

2026 – Present

In 2026, C. Lane Slaughter became the sole owner of the Glenroy Construction Co., Inc. upon the retirement of James L. Kojetin after 30 years as joint-partners. Mr. Slaughter named Chase H. Slaughter as Corporate Secretary and James Rednour, Jr. as General Superintendent, effective January 1, 2026. The younger Mr. Slaughter began his career with Glenroy in 2009 as an Estimator, and Mr. Rednour began his career in 1999 as a Carpenter's apprentice. Both Mr. Rednour's father (James Rednour) and son (James Rednour, III) are Superintendents for the Glenroy Company.

Glenroy became one of the State of Indiana's first JOC (Job Order Contracting) contractors in 2017 and, since that time, has completed over 700 JOC projects totaling over $250 million. In 2025, Glenroy was awarded an Award of Merit in Job Order Contracting by the Gordian Group for "exemplary use of Job Order Contracting to successfully complete the ISD/ISBVI Track Resurfacing."

Looking toward the future, the Glenroy Construction Team looks forward to continuing to serve our clients with exceptional craftsmanship, integrity, and experience.

Glenroy Construction Lifts 3,000-Pound Cupola from Tornado-Damaged Orange County Courthouse

On December 22, 2023, crews from Glenroy Construction worked with a crane operator to carefully lift the 3,000-pound weathervane and cupola from atop the Orange County Courthouse clocktower in Paoli — officially beginning a $1.5 million restoration after an EF1 tornado struck the town on August 7, 2023.
