It’s a problem faced by many successful startups: running out of room for a growing staff. Last week, the Des Moines Register reported a major expansion underway for an Iowa startup planning to hire 23 developers.

This week, the Lincoln Journal Star has a story on the plans of MacPractice, the maker of Mac software for doctors (founded in 2004), which includes a major construction project in the works.

Patrick Clyne, co-founder of MacPractice, told the Journal Star that his company is currently at about 100 employees and is adding 10-15 per year.

With expansion in mind and a liking for the company’s current downtown Lincoln location, Clyne wants to build a seven-story glass-and-brick headquarters at 10th and O Street. To do so, he’d need to tear down an existing building and build the new building from scratch, a construction project the Journal Star reported is estimated to cost about $15 million.
