PRESIDENT, L.F. JENNINGS, FALLS CHURCH
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
Jennings is the third generation to lead the general contracting firm, which was started as a masonry firm in 1952 by his bricklayer grandfather, Lawrence Floyd Jennings. Larry Jennings, L.F.’s son and Jon’s father, joined the company in 1965 and helped expand the business into general contracting.
In the 1980s, the company made another business shift, building a backlog of large-scale private projects for commercial developers. Today, Jon Jennings oversees about 350 employees and a large portfolio of projects in the Richmond and Washington, D.C., regions.
The firm serves the mid-Atlantic, with offices in Falls Church and Richmond; clients include Target, Whole Foods Market, Federal Realty and Trammell Crow. Current projects include the 7000 Carnation Apartments in Richmond, two four-story apartment buildings totaling 175,000 square feet and 218 units, and two new automotive buildings for Lindsay Lexus in Alexandria. In October 2023, L.F. Jennings completed work on Richmond’s Mutual on Main apartments, a 168-unit property that emerged from the renovation of the Mutual Assurance Society Building constructed in 1905.
