The Pittsburgh Business Times, in their May 26 print edition, featured a focus on Construction, in particular: Healthcare Construction. The focus honed in on the largest construction projects, currently in the works by local health systems across Western Pennsylvania. Two of A. Martini & Co.’s projects were featured in the edition: Excela Health’s Frick Hospital Renovation, as well as the new-construction for Excela Square at Latrobe.

Per the article:

Jeff Burd, publisher of BreakingGround magazine, expects a four-year boom period for health care construction in the region, and dedicated the March-April issue of the publication of the Master Builders’ Association of Western Pennsylvania to health care.

“Rarely have there been so many major projects in the pipeline by virtually every hospital system in virtually all the markets they serve,” Burd wrote.

A. Martini & Co. healthcare portfolio entails everything from small renovations in existing medical facilities, renovations and additions of Emergency and OR Departments, along with major multi-floor, multi-department expansions, as well as new, out-of-the-ground construction for healthcare networks in the region. We continue to expand the projects in this market with repeat healthcare clients. Find more information on our projects here: A. Martini & Co. Projects.

The long-awaited restaurant from local chef, Derek Stevens, opened its doors on February 17. A. Martini & Co. was placing the finishing touches on the space and co-habitating with the Union Standard team during the final week to make sure everything was perfect.

This project was the first major new restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh in 2017 and the first solo-gig for Chef Derek Stevens. The 170-seat, 7,5000sf restaurant, spans three floors and features a raw bar and wood-fired grill and rotisserie. Having items like this on the menu will ensure that this restaurant will cater to the dietary and food preferences of everyone, which will only help the success of the business in the long run. Because of the different types of food that they will be serving to their customers, looking into some cold storage doors, would have been essential to incorporate in the construction process, as this will help to keep the food at their desired temperatures. And if they don’t want to receive any complaints, this will be crucial. As the restaurant is spanned over three floors, they will need to do everything they can to make sure that all the spaces are filled to capacity. When Stevens acquired the space in the ever-popular Union Trust building, he envisioned keeping many of the details that were original to the space and staples of the iconic Pittsburgh building.

The restaurant is just one of the hallmarks of the $100M renovation to Pittsburgh’s Union Trust Building, which has been ongoing since the building was purchased for development in 2014 by Davis Companies.

The Tull Family Theater, Sewickley’s new independent movie house, is set to open its doors on February 17. A. Martini & Co. served as the General Contractor for this theater that will offer two screening rooms, one seating 75 and the other offering seating for nearly 170. The larger theater will also offer a stage for presentations and special guests. Additionally, there is flex-space within the building for special events and private parties.

The planning for the theater, formally called the ‘Village Theater,’ began in 2011 and the non-profit raised over $4M in donations to fund the nonprofit theater for the Sewickley community.

The cinema is named for Alba and Thomas Tull, founder of the Legendary Pictures and part-owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Poros Restaurant was selected, by the Master Builders Association (MBA), as a finalist in the ‘New Construction Under $10 Million‘ category for the 2016 Building Excellence Awards. The winners will be announced on February 23, 2017 at the Construction Evening of Excellence.

While Excela Health executives, staff, donors, community partners, and the design and construction team looked on, the last steel beam was hoisted into place on the new Excela Square structure in Latrobe. The ceremony, held on Thursday morning, November 17, marked a major milestone for Excela Health, making the symbolic completion of the structural steel phase of the building, which remains on schedule to open its doors in January 2018.

The new building will further expand Excela Health’s presence in Westmoreland County, offering a “one-stop” facility for their patients.

“What is the best thing we could do for our patients? We wanted them to be able to easily come in and receive the care they need that day. From seeing a Primary Care Physician to an Orthopedic Specialist, if needed. All in one day,” Excela Health CEO, Robert J. Rogalski, Esq. said. “We’re offering the tools patients need to stay in the community.”

The Unity center will serve as an extension of Excela’s Latrobe Hospital and will bring many primary care physicians in Excela’s family next door to specialty providers.

“It is exciting to be a part of the construction of this large facility for Excela Health, who’s been a great healthcare partner in our region,” said Angelo Martini, Jr., COO of A. Martini & Co. “This is a huge milestone for this project and our team has done an excellent job finalizing the erection of 500 tons of steel. We’re excited to begin working on the interior so that Excela can ‘get their nervous system and brains in there’ as Mr. Rogalski said this morning.”

The groundbreaking ceremony for this project was held nearly six months ago, May 18, and since, the 29-acre project site along Route 30 has seen much transformation.
