TUCSON, Arizona — NPL Construction Co. (NPL) leased former Grant Road Lumber Contractor Yard at 3361 East 36th Street from CA 36th Street American, LLC for ten-years.

Founded in a small town in northern Minnesota, NPL began as Northern Gas Line Constructors focusing exclusively on gas customers. By 1971, the company progressed from the installation of local farm taps to construction of several large gas pipeline projects in nearby states. In 1973, the company was renamed Northern Pipeline Construction Company, and a few years later, moved to its current location to Phoenix.

In 2008, Northern Pipeline became NPL Construction Company. Today, the company is recognized as a leader in natural gas construction with a reputation in safety, quality, and customer satisfaction.

NPL leased approximately nine acres of the former Grant Road Lumber site located at 3361 East 36th Street. The remaining parcel, approximately six acres, remains for sale or lease with the entire rail spur available for the north property.
