“I'm thrilled to have joined a company that is so respected in the multifamily industry and so committed to the philosophy of ‘building with quality, managing with integrity.’ The dedication and enthusiasm of every employee—from groundsperson to owner—is beyond my expectations. Gannon has many physical assets, but our most important asset is our people.”
