CHICAGO—The McShane Construction Co. has just selected Ed Pitula to serve as its new director of business development. His responsibilities will include developing new construction assignments across many sectors including the industrial, office, healthcare and institutional markets. He will office in McShane's corporate headquarters in suburban Rosemont and lead local, regional and national development efforts.
Pitula joined McShane in 1997, and has handled construction assignments for numerous clients including E.A. Sween Co., FedEx, Fitness Formula, Ltd., Aon Hewitt, Valparaiso University and the University of Notre Dame.
In 2002, he spearheaded the establishment of McShane's Western regional office in Irvine, CA. Several of his most significant assignments were in California and include an 820,000-square-foot build-to-suit for W.W. Grainger, Inc. in Patterson; an 89,847-square-foot freight service center for FedEx in Kettleman City; the 704,115-square-foot Redlands Business Center industrial development and the launch of the new 1,013,460-square-foot Redlands Logistics Center in Redlands.
“Ed's experience and broad expertise in serving clients in a number of market sectors will provide construction insights and advantages to corporate end-users, institutional clients and real estate developers as each evaluates opportunities for new construction, expansions or retrofits,” says Jeffrey A. Raday, president of McShane. “I am confident that he will be successful in advancing McShane's current project portfolio throughout the Chicago market, the Midwest region and on a national basis.”
