Celebrating Women 2022
The month of March is dedicated to celebrating women and their impact on the world. As we progressed through the month, we took this opportunity to highlight the amazing women that help keep A. Martini & Co. running!
Our all-female Business Development and Marketing team includes (L to R) Elizabeth Martini, Business Development Specialist, Emily Landerman, Director of Business Development, and Rachel Casper, Director of Marketing.
“It’s already a wonderful place to work,” says Rachel, “but having a team of women supporting women has been an unbelievable experience.”
Both Elizabeth and Rachel have greatly benefited from Emily’s decades of industry experience, and, says Emily, “they bring a freshness to our approach that comes with a multi-generational team.”
Increasing MBE Opportunities – New Granada Building
Construction on the Historic New Granada Building is coming up soon! Our team held the first of two Pre-Bid meetings yesterday with the Hill Community Development Corporation, Russell Contracting, and Reed Building Supplies.
As a family run business, our team does not lose sight of the fact that our company’s own beginnings were quite small, and we therefore hold a strong supportive belief in including small, disadvantaged, and minority businesses in our project activities. We strive for minority participation on all of our jobs, and implement multiple practices to increase opportunities for minority-led businesses.
The New Granada Building is an example of one of our favorite processes, bringing the project to the neighborhood it is in and inviting local businesses to come by and share their experience and gain understanding on the project scope.
We strongly encourage any other contractors looking to be a part of this project to attend the next meeting on March 23rd from 10:00 am – 11:00 am in the Hill House 2nd Floor Conference Room. Do not let the size of the project deter you; we are experienced in adjusting bid packages to better fit the capabilities of MBE contractors. Both Russell Contracting and Reed Building Supply have worked with A. Martini & Co through our mentorship programs to build their industry knowledge and presence naturally.
The current scope will cover nearly all trades including: Concrete, Masonry, Roofing, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Framing, Flooring, Drywall, Painting, and more.
Fine dining restaurant geared to help teens set to open in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH —
Cafe Momentum, a fine dining restaurant designed to help teens who have been part of the criminal justice system, is scheduled to open in downtown Pittsburgh in August.
The restaurant was created in Dallas seven years ago by Chad Houser.
“Over the last seven years we worked with over 1,000 youth,” Houser said.
Cafe Momentum trains teens, ages 15 to 19, to work in every aspect of the restaurant industry.
Houser said he come up with the concept when he realized, for himself, that kids in the justice system often need a second chance.

A. Martini & Co. Celebrates 70 Years, Kicks Off Year-Long Celebration!
How does that old saying go?
Time flies when you’re having fun!
And, speaking of fun, we are kicking off 2021 by celebrating our 70th year in business!
While we plan to celebrate all year long, we’d like to start this celebration by looking back on how we got here, and what shaped A. Martini & Co. into the General Contractor and Construction Management firm that we are today.
The year was 1951. Antonio Martini and his friend, Gilbert Auel, formed a partnership – A. Martini & Co. – and began building Pittsburgh with projects such as shopping plazas, grocery stores, post offices, churches, and banks. All places that are the foundation of our many neighborhoods within this region.
Angelo Martini, Sr. reflects on his father’s mindset when it came to running their family-run firm. “When he gave his word, he meant it. When he made a mistake, he was honest about it. When he agreed to build something, the client knew the craftsmanship would be excellent.”
That mentality reigns true today within the daily operations of A. Martini & Co., built on the values of quality, excellence, and integrity.
We invite you to continue through the history of A. Martini & Co. by visiting our historical timeline, celebrating 70 years of building Pittsburgh, and beyond!

Hill District YMCA to undergo $7 million renovation, add 74 units of affordable housing
A. Martini & Co. is partnering with ACTION Housing and the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh on the $7 million renovation project to the Centre Avenue YMCA.
The following is an article from NEXTPittsburgh on February 20, 2020:
A major Hill District landmark, the Centre Avenue YMCA, is about to embark upon a new chapter in its storied history, with a $7 million renovation that will result in 74 units of affordable housing.
“The building has been a staple of African-American culture in the Hill District since the early 20th century,” says Diamonte Walker, deputy director of the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA). “The reason why it’s important is that it was one of the first YMCAs in the country to allow African-Americans to take up residence.”

A. Martini & Co. Hosts Charity Benefit for the American Diabetes Association of Western PA’s Tour de Cure Event
A. Martini & Co. hosted a charity event on Thursday, September 5 at Social, Bakery Square to benefit the American Diabetes Association of Western PA. Over $2,500 was raised at the event and all fund went directly to support the ADA’s Tour de Cure event for Pittsburgh. This is the kind of event that those who see this page want to go and support, as they understand the kind of medical costs a diabetic can expect through their lifetime.
To view photos from our event, visit our Facebook page.
A. Martini & Co. has been a Corporate Sponsor for the ADA’s Tour event for the past few years, raising over $15,000 to date.
In Western PA, approximately 400,000 people have diabetes. Of these, an estimated 23.8% have diabetes but don’t know it, greatly increasing their health risk. In addition, 37.5% of the adult population, have prediabetes with blood glucose levels higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. From an economic standpoint, diabetes costs an estimated $10.8 billion in Pennsylvania each year. So many diabetics spend a huge amount on expensive medications trying to alleviate the painful issues associated with the condition. However, pain management treatment in the form of cannabis and bongs found at https://fatbuddhaglass.com/ can be sourced for far less of an expense.
Tour de Cure: Ride.Run.Walk. is the premier fundraising campaign that fuels every aspect of the American Diabetes Association’s crucial work. But it’s so much more than just a fundraiser. Tour de Cure is equal parts inspiration, determination, community, and FUN.
At the Pittsburgh Tour de Cure, participants choose their move – walking, running or riding to celebrate and support the millions of Americans living with diabetes and to change the future of this devastating disease.
