The Saint Joseph’s Real Estate and Construction Alumni Affinity Group held its annual Christmas luncheon on December 4, where alumnus Tom Scannapieco ’71 was presented with the Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., Leader of the Year Award. Allan Domb, Philadelphia councilmember at-large, provided keynote remarks.

President and CEO of Scannapieco Development Corporation, Scannapieco is an accomplished Philadelphia real estate developer. His company has completed more than $1 billion of development in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, including recent high-end projects 1706 Rittenhouse and 500 Walnut, which have consistently broken city sales records.

The award is presented to a leader in the field of real estate and construction who has demonstrated success in the field and outstanding loyal dedication and service to Saint Joseph's. It is named in honor of the 26th University President, who spearheaded the acquisition of what is today known as the James J. Maguire ’58 Campus and oversaw numerous campus renovations during his tenure.
