As of the end of Typhon Pact: Raise the Dawn, the new Starbase Deep Space 9 is still being built, but it's an original Starfleet design. It seems influenced by the Cardassian Nor-class station designs, however, as it makes heavy use of interconnecting rings.

As for the original question...

It's not actually a shuttle, but if I were to ask for any support craft in the Starfleet, I'd ask for a Danube-class runabout. Preferably the U.S.S. Rio Grande.

Here's an image of the station, taken from the book's cover.

Thanks guys. The cover looks fantastic, but it looks more like Admiral Ross's starbase rather than construction habitat. I supposed they could have quickly towed those pieces into position, and are building the the top from the prefabricated materials. Either way, I've been meanign to get back into Trek books, I might pick this up
