Gilbane Building, one of the largest, privately owned construction firms in the industry, announced that John E. Anderson III has been promoted to business leader of the firm’s New Jersey Office in Newark.
In his new role, Anderson will focus on expanding the company’s market portfolio and service offerings, fostering team development and growth, and delivering world-class facilities for clients and communities in the New Jersey area.
A seasoned construction leader, Anderson spent the last 10 years serving in Gilbane’s New York City office and has an extensive background in health care, commercial, residential and life sciences construction. His notable project experience includes 50 Hudson Yards, where he oversaw construction of the core and shell of a 2.9-million-square-foot, 58-story office building.
He also led Gilbane’s NYCEDC NYC Health + Hospitals Metropolitan Hospital Resiliency Project, which included construction of a new permanent flood mitigation system and the renovation of the New York City/New York State Emergency Management Chempak Room.
“As a construction veteran and longtime Gilbane team member, John fully embodies the values we look for in a business leader — he is growth-oriented, safety-obsessed, people-focused and community-minded,” said Shawn Carlin, senior business leader at Gilbane Building.
“Combined with his impressive track record executing complex builds and renovations across a wide range of industries in the New York City market, we’re excited to see what John brings as the leader of our New Jersey office.”
“Gilbane has a long and successful history building in New Jersey, and I am honored by the opportunity to build on our construction leadership in this market,” said Anderson. “As a family-owned business, Gilbane has built its reputation on trusted relationships and a deep commitment to delivering for our clients. I’m excited to lead our talented team in New Jersey and continue serving our clients and communities with excellence.”
