Culture

When clients provide repeat business over decades and even a century, when employees spend their lifetimes fulfilling their career dreams and when colleagues are considered extended family, a company becomes more than a business or a place to work. Manhattan is a place to build life-long friendships and a solid career, where learning is encouraged and supported and doors are always open. At Manhattan, we build relationships. We are a trusted building advisor to our clients and a partner in supporting the communities in which we build.

As a privately-held company in its fourth generation of Rooney family ownership, we make decisions based on the long-term health of the company, not short-term Wall Street gains. We focus on earning trust through our actions and by following through with our promises.

Our environment exposes team members to the different facets of the industry, providing them with a well-rounded view of the different roles and specialties. Manhattan motivates team members to explore the expertise they desire by supporting professional development, helping them to expand their knowledge to grow in their career.

Thought diversity can bring new solutions and creates dialogue and innovation. Team members are encouraged to speak their mind and share ideas.

Our culture supports our vision which is to be the preferred builder of employees, clients, designers and subcontractors. We are on a continual mission to improve our performance.

It is through our team members’ ownership of the project and passion to build excellence that we live our vision.
