Ryan’s

Ryan Companies US, Inc. is a national commercial real estate firm with deep roots and a broad reach. Founded in 1938 as Ryan Lumber and Coal in Minneapolis, the company grew from a family-run operation into a full-service real estate platform that now delivers development, construction, architecture, property management, and capital markets services. Over the decades, Ryan has built a reputation for shaping commercial spaces across North America, starting with grocery-anchored retail and leaseback projects in the Midwest and expanding into mixed-use, office, and institutional developments nationwide.

As of November 2025, Ryan operates from its Minneapolis headquarters with regional offices in major markets including Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Chicago, Phoenix, San Diego, Tampa, Austin, Milwaukee, and Seattle. This network allows the company to serve clients across a wide range of economic regions and market cycles. The firm’s evolution has included a strategic shift toward more complex, speculative projects, such as One Corporate Center in Minneapolis, which became its headquarters and signaled a move into high-end office and mixed-use development.

Ryan’s approach centers on integrated project delivery, combining development, construction, and ongoing management under one roof. This model has helped the company build long-term relationships with institutional and corporate clients, adapting its services to meet changing market demands. The addition of capital markets advisory in recent years reflects the growing sophistication of its client base and the firm’s ability to navigate complex real estate transactions.

Throughout its history, Ryan has maintained a balance between family legacy and professional management, ensuring continuity while scaling operations. Its track record spans more than eight decades, multiple economic cycles, and a diverse portfolio of projects, making it a well-established presence in the commercial real estate landscape.
