WebPT co-founder Brad Jannenga has big plans for two historic buildings he bought for $1 million in downtown Phoenix’s Warehouse District.
With a passion for renovation, bringing tech companies and vitality to the Warehouse District, Jannenga bought the former Brickhouse music venue at 1 E. Jackson St. and what once housed a barbershop back in the early 1900s at 10 E. Jackson St.
“I want to return the buildings back to where they were (with the planned renovations), and put what’s needed and what was historically there,” Jannenga told me in an exclusive interview. “These have been eyesores for a long time. This area represents bridge streets where it transitions from downtown to the Warehouse District, and I want to bring back that historical factor. This is also a way to beef up the area.”
