The Daily Dig
Manhattan Construction Company has named Craig Bryant senior vice president of Florida. It's a newly created role built to support continued growth and increased project complexity across the state, backed by experienced statewide leadership. Bryant will oversee both the Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida (Naples/Fort Myers) regions, two markets Manhattan identifies as central to its growth in the state.
The role is meant to align operations across those regions while Bryant leads on strategic growth, operational excellence, talent development, and client relationships statewide. President John Reyhan tied the appointment directly to revenue growth in Florida, saying the company needed experienced leadership in place for its next phase there.
Bryant isn't new to the company or the region. He joined Manhattan in 2022 as vice president of the Naples/Fort Myers office. Reyhan credited him with driving growth, strengthening operational performance, and deepening client relationships in Southwest Florida during that time. That record is the basis for his expanded role.
Bryant brings more than 28 years of construction experience across a range of project types and delivery methods. Over his career, he has helped deliver more than $2.2 billion in construction projects. Manhattan describes his approach as servant leadership, with a focus on team development, accountability, and client service.

TheJobWalk Thoughts
Manhattan created this role specifically to bring focus and coordination to two regions it has named as key growth drivers. For subs and suppliers who work across Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida, that's a signal worth watching. A single statewide leader for Florida likely means more visibility into how those regions perform relative to each other, even if the release doesn't detail what changes operationally.
Bryant's track record in Naples/Fort Myers is doing the work here. He built relationships and drove growth in that market before earning a broader mandate, and Manhattan is explicit about that connection. For business development teams targeting Manhattan in Florida, that's worth noting directly: Bryant's expanded authority grew out of performance in one region, and he now carries that same standard into Tampa Bay.
