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 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. L.F. Jennings’ fiscal 2024 revenue was approximately $405 million.
The firm serves the mid-Atlantic, with offices in Cary, North Carolina, Falls Church and Richmond; clients include Target, Whole Foods Market, Federal Realty Investment Trust and Trammell Crow.
Current projects include the New Manchester Flats VI in Richmond and The Henley, a multifamily development in North Carolina.
Richmond’s Mutual on Main apartments, a 168-unit property that emerged from the renovation of the Mutual Assurance Society Building constructed in 1905, won three awards for adaptive reuse and historic restoration.
