History

Ryan Companies was founded in Hibbing, Minnesota, by James Henry Ryan. Forming a partnership with his sons Francis and Russell, James bought the Frederick Lumber Company and renamed it Ryan Lumber and Coal in 1938. In 1949, Russell and Francis formed Ryan Realty Company to own, finance, and manage the real estate Ryan Lumber and Coal built. In 1989, construction, development, capital markets, and real estate management were joined under Ryan Companies.

In 1946, Ryan built their first National Tea Company store, the company's first design-build/development project. Ryan built 60 National stores over its 30-year relationship with the company. The company built its first Target store in Bloomington, Minnesota in 1965, and today, builds stores, distribution centers, data centers, and office buildings for the retailer.

Leadership

James Henry Ryan died in 1949. Francis and Russell continued leading the company until 1989 when Russell's son, Jim, became CEO, Pat Ryan became president, and Tim Gray, long-time family friend and company controller, became CFO. Before his death in 2009, Jim Ryan was awarded the Best in Real Estate Lifetime Achievement Award[3] for his contribution to the community, the real estate industry, and his company. Pat Ryan, chairman of the board and former president and CEO, was named in Twin City Business "100 Leaders To Know" [4] in November, 2014. Brian Murray took over as Ryan Companies CEO in 2018, and is Ryan's first non-family member to lead the company.[5]

Today

Ryan is managing construction for public sector projects including the renovation of the Warren E. Burger Federal Building and US Courthouse[6] in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the construction of the new US Courthouse[7] in Des Moines, Iowa. Ryan will provide preconstruction services for the renovation of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building[8] at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and will manage a 20-year build-to-suit lease for a GSA Professional Office Building[9] in Phoenix, Arizona. Ryan is also constructing, in association with Gilbane, Inc., the Maricopa County Courthouse Tower[10] in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

Following the Iowa flood of 2008 Ryan's Cedar Rapids office partnered with Mercy Medical Center, one of two Cedar Rapids hospitals, to recover and restore services within a month. Revitalization of the flooded downtown continues as Ryan manages several construction and repair projects funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the City of Cedar Rapids including the restoration of the Iowa Theater[11] building and the Paramount Theatre as well as the construction of a new public library, fire station and animal-control facility.[12]

Ryan will provide real estate management assignment for Capella Tower, also known as 225 South Sixth Street, located in downtown Minneapolis. This assignment broadens the existing local relationship that ASB Capital Management has with the team of Ryan and CB Richard Ellis (leasing agent) at the AT&T Tower in Minneapolis.[13]

In 2007, Ryan was named the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties’ (NAIOP) Developer of the Year.[14]
