Founded in 1920, with a focus on customer service and satisfaction, Hennessy's reputation for quality has earned us many repeat clients. We have been instrumental in building and restoring many of St. Petersburg's local landmarks and institutions, some of which include the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg, Mahaffey Theater, St. Anthony's Hospital, Resurrection House, St. Petersburg Museum of History, Jim and Heather Gills YMCA, Childs Park YMCA Community Center, The Salvation Army Sallie House and Children's Village, and Hennessy's very first project – St. Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in downtown St. Petersburg. 

The construction of this new facility in the heart of St. Petersburg has spurred a revitalization to a once depressed economic sector of Pinellas County.  

The Mediterranean style structure features a zero-entry indoor pool, special needs locker rooms, whirlpool, water slide, sauna, and a climbing wall with cave section and ropes course. Other amenities are a multi-court gymnasium, aerobics room, meeting and computer rooms, fitness center with weight room, and administrative offices.

The success of this project's renovation of 5,200 sf and the addition of 6,147 sf allowed for the YMCA to expand its membership in the rapidly growing Hernando County area.  A new gymnasium and aquatics center are being designed for a future expansion.

“Hennessy’s project management procedures are an excellent fit for any client and worked especially well for the YMCA.  The project had to be scheduled around the daily operations of this very busy YMCA facility.  Maintaining day-to-day operations was of utmost importance to this client.

Mike Lantz’s (project superintendent) considerable diplomatic skill and experience allowed him to manage the competing requests and suggestions offered on a constant basis by facility staff and the general YMCA membership.  This people management ability is highly desirable when running projects for membership organizations.  Mike’s ability to maintain his balance and perspective throughout the construction period is another reason the project was so successful.  Our firm would definitely recommend Hennessy Construction Services.  We will also look forward to working with you again on another project and hope that it will be soon.”
