Built Over Time: Relationships that Shape a Construction Legacy

Long-standing partnerships across Pittsburgh reflect the trust, adaptability, and collaboration that have shaped Shannon Construction for more than 55 years.

In commercial construction, projects may last months, but strong relationships can last generations.

At Shannon Construction, some of our most meaningful work has been built through consistency, collaboration, and shared history.

We’ve worked alongside property owners, developers, and institutions through changing industry needs and leadership transitions, including decades of work within US Steel Tower, retail and restaurant upgrades at Pittsburgh International Airport, and long-standing partnerships at Penn Center East.

Decades of Work Within US Steel Tower

Shannon Construction’s history within US Steel Tower dates back to the mid-1980s, when President Ken Schultz was selected by Galbreath Corporation to oversee projects within the building. His deep knowledge of the building helped establish relationships that have grown into more than 40 years of collaboration and hundreds of projects within one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic buildings.

Evolving Spaces at Pittsburgh International Airport

The Airmall debuted alongside the opening of the new Pittsburgh International Airport terminal in 1992, introducing an innovative retail and dining experience for travelers. Since then, Shannon Construction has maintained a long-standing partnership within the airport.

More than three decades later, Shannon remains actively involved in the airport’s transformation, proudly completing 14 retail and restaurant upgrades and new tenant spaces as part of the opening of Pittsburgh International Airport’s new terminal in 2025.

A Trusted Partner at Penn Center East

Shannon Construction’s work within Penn Center East began decades ago under the original property developer, Soffer Organization. Our involvement continued with LG Realty Partners, and now with current management, M&J Wilkow.  These relationships have led to ongoing tenant improvements, renovations, and redevelopment projects across the campus.
