Testimonials
“I began working with Landau Building Company on the transformation of the “Carnegie Carnegie” from moribund to magical in 2004. It is remarkable how far we have come together!
It’s difficult to describe how much I value the Library & Music Hall’s relationship — my relationship — with Landau. Landau’s team are relied upon experts, trusted colleagues, close friends. It is a company that helps me navigate setbacks from budgetary challenges to mudslides, always finding an acceptable solution.”
–Maggie Forbes, Executive Director, Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall
“This project could not have been done with any other team. I cannot say enough about the efforts of Jen Landau to drive to finish against all odds. Her devotion to this project, her teams, and WVU Medicine is the reason the Rockefeller Neuroscience Innovation Center was a success.”

I look forward to our next project together.”

“I was genuinely impressed by the level of quality and professionalism of the Landau team; they exceeded my expectations in every respect. They served as our GC to build-out our new corporate headquarters at 2555 Smallman and were engaged and supportive from the architectural design phase all the way through and beyond our move-in date. The work was completed on time, on budget, and was exceptionally well done. As importantly, every individual that worked on, or visited the construction site representing Landau (including sub-contractors) was amazingly professional, friendly, and enjoyable to work with. Ebb Therapeutics is a very happy customer!”
– Damian Rippole, Chief Financial Officer, Ebb Therapeutics
