==History==
At the turn of the 20th century, [[Hibbing, Minnesota]], was a hub for the mining and lumber industries. It was here that James Henry Ryan (grandfather of Pat Ryan), with his sons Francis and Russell, purchased what was to become Ryan Lumber and Coal. In a town where lumber was cheap, lumberyard owners also had to be contractors to compete. Ryan’s first project was a house built for $4,500. The company’s first commercial project was the Hibbing Bowling Alley, constructed in 1940.


Leadership: James Henry Ryan passed away 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. All three were active owner-managers until Jim Ryan’s death in 2009 from melanoma. Just prior to his death, Jim Ryan was awarded the <ref>[http://twincities.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2009/04/20/focus16.html?b=1240200000%5E1813779/ Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal]</ref> for his contribution to the community, the real estate industry and his company. Pat Ryan then became the company’s fourth CEO.
Employing 750 professional and trade employees, Ryan Companies is a market leader in industrial, office, and retail construction and maintains a strong focus on sustainable design. Offices are in Minneapolis, Chicago, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Phoenix, Tampa, and San Diego.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/21/privates08_Ryan-Companies_DB5W.html Forbes 11/03/2008]</ref>
