We collaborate at every step of the process to streamline operations, applying our experience to gain important insights into client needs and goals to create projects that truly matter.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, Ryan operates offices across the country, enabling us to leverage our national expertise with local community connections and relationships. We’re connected with the best trades and suppliers, plus we understand the particular rules and regulations within each area. But most importantly, because our clients’ communities are also our communities, too, we are passionate about finding the right solutions.
Three generations of Ryans have led our business, carrying on the principles we were built upon—integrity, honesty, civic pride and a sincere regard for people—while honing our skills and capabilities to stay ahead of today’s fast-paced world. Our values are more than words in a mission statement. They are the inspiration that guides our decisions and shapes our dedication to create buildings that add value to the people who encounter them, from clients to building patrons to the community.
We at Ryan know that our clients are as unique as their projects. That’s why, day after day, we’re driven to uncover their stories; to be inspired by what inspires them; and to bring the right people to the table so we can collaborate on a deeper, more engaging level. Together, we build something far more profound than the physical presence of a building. We build the backdrops to life’s stories.
RFG is an Employee-Owned, Independent Wealth Management Firm. Being independent means we can always put our clients’ interests and objectives first. We intentionally avoid a one-size-fits-all mentality. Many of our peers lack the resources, expertise and ability to truly innovate and customize. At RFG, we challenge ourselves daily to think “out of the box” and are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom in our approach to investing and preserving wealth. We serve individuals, business owners, retirement plans, and endowments/foundations. Going beyond traditional financial planning and basic investment management, we employ what we think is a differentiated and disciplined approach to building and preserving wealth.
Scannell Properties had a very successful year in 2022 resulting in 72 new projects totalling 24,543,490 square feet and 131 capital transactions. We have continued to expand our company across the world with our most recent speculative building in Kitzingen, Germany being our tenth completed project in the country and it was fully leased prior to the start of construction. In New Albany, New York we completed a project for a client who has invested $100 million in R&D to develop therapies and vaccines that will be accessible to millions of people. Using innovative solutions in Windsor, Connecticut, we completed a two-building complex that features a “freight connector” which is half of a single bay that connects the two building since the town requirements wouldn’t allow for one large building. Our multi-family housing development team has excelled across the country to include a 604-unit apartment building in Gainesville, Florida that was named the North Central Florida Apartment Association New Community of the Year. A recent project in Denver, Colorado boasts 1.3 miles of irrigation pipes, while a facility we developed in Richmond, California features the most extensive, fully electric delivery fleet design in the United States. We are committed to making environmentally sound development decisions including the development of a brownfield site and 1930s steel plant that we cleaned up as a part of a voluntary program in partnership with the Maryland Department of the Environment in Baltimore last year. And in an effort to give back to the communities where we work and live, Scannell Properties’ annual charitable contributions benefitted 80+ charities throughout six countries. Co,pany Overview Scannell Properties is a privately held real estate development and investment company that focuses on build-to-suit and speculative development of industrial, office, and multifamily facilities throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Founded in 1981 by owner Wayne Stahl, Stahl Construction is a mid-size, full-service company that provides quality, competitively priced pre-construction, and construction services with a focus on providing great service and personal attention. Stahl has a staff of dedicated construction professionals—engineers, project managers, field superintendents, and support personnel—who bring to their projects a wealth of knowledge and experience in their respective fields. We approach our work with positive “can-do” attitudes and operate in an open, collaborative manner, which makes us particularly well-suited for working in a team environment. With a workload of just 8–10 carefully selected projects at any one time, we can afford to devote the time and effort necessary to add value and make a positive difference for our clients, something larger firms may not be able to do. During the early stages of a project, we provide expertise and guidance with respect to planning, conceptual and detailed estimating, scheduling, value engineering, plan reviews, sustainable design impact, and bidding strategies, all of which contribute to greater efficiency, lower costs, and increased value. Once construction starts, we utilize proven systems and processes to ensure that our work is of the highest quality and that our projects finish on time and under budget. We maintain a balance of team-oriented negotiated work and competitive bid work, which directly benefits our clients. Our negotiated work requires that we operate in an open, collaborative way to support the design team while ensuring that our client’s goals and objectives are met. Our competitive bid work forces us to stay current on market trends such as pricing, delivery times, shortages, and new construction materials and methods. Each makes us better at the other and together they make us a more well-rounded construction professional and a greater resource for our clients.
