RESTORATION
Gronen has been restoring historic buildings and constructing new buildings throughout Dubuque, Iowa and the tri-state area since 1999. Our team includes a masonry crew with over 60 years of combined experience who are trained and conscientious craftsmen, consistently held to the highest expectations.
​
In our 25+ years, we have developed and maintained excellent relationships with the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). This is a branch of state government that oversees the State Historic Tax Credit Program for building owners who restore or rehabilitate historic structures according to high preservation standards.​
Community-Focused Coordination
To us, success means developing projects that transform communities. Gronen breathes new life into neglected areas or places targeted for investment, and embraces visionary ideas that help write a community story. We do this using an integrated project development approach, which includes close coordination among architectural/design, construction management, engineering, accounting/legal, and property management – for a well-planned, high-quality delivery.
Innovative Resources
We redevelop historic structures through the use of innovative and complex funding sources. Our team specializes in layering said funding sources to include Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Greyfield/Brownfield Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits, and other private/public incentives. Gronen is fortunate to enjoy an outstanding reputation in the banking and real estate community.
