Background

About John Hennessy

Hennessy Group’s emphasis is developing and managing properties in Milwaukee’s transitional urban neighborhoods, and in particular, in Milwaukee’s Near West Side and the Westown neighborhood of Downtown. Our developments stand out in their design, in their level of quality, and for the customer service provided. Some of the key precepts at the forefront of Hennessy Group’s business practice are-There is no substitute for quality in the catalytic impact a development provides to its neighborhood-We press to fully understand the key issues in our development and management practice and to find a way to “do things right” in dealing with the long term, the midterm, and the day to day-Our tenants, our vendors, and all of our business partners are our customers. We strive to maintain relationships with our customers based on respect, fairness, and a high level of service. Personally, I have a strong belief that the City of Milwaukee is on the rise. Further, I am confident for various reasons that as Milwaukee rises the Near West Side and Westown neighborhoods will rise at a disproportionately higher rate. I continually search individually and in collaboration with all stakeholders for methods, ideas, business & development concepts, etc. which will cause this pending improvement for our City and its neighborhoods to accelerate.
