ABOUT JOEY JONNA

Joey Jonna’s enthusiasm for real estate, construction, and development dates back to his family roots at Jonna Construction. Jonna Construction was founded by his late Uncle Jimmy Jonna in 1965 and is currently lead by his father, Frank Jonna. Jimmy’s fearless passion for deal making, along with Frank’s quiet intensity and outstanding people skills illuminated Joey’s path into the industry. For the last half century, the family has built and developed numerous projects primarily in Southeast Michigan.Joey started in the industry at age 14 as a general laborer and became an expert at pushing a broom and cleaning up trash on jobsites. After graduating from Michigan State, Joey served as the Chief Estimator at Jonna Companies for seven years and was involved in numerous commercial projects. In 2008, Joey founded Jonna Facility Services with the objective to fill the need for companies looking to keep their overhead low and focus on their core business by outsourcing maintenance services.Joey founded Jonna Luxury Homes in 2012 with a mission to provide high quality new construction homes in Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills. Jonna Luxury Homes developed and built spec homes as well as custom homes with an inclusive approach focused on customer relationships.In late 2019, Joey returned to Jonna Construction as a partner and CEO to lead a transition and guide Jonna Construction into the future. Strong core values and an ability to generate value through multiple channels will be the foundation to his leadership moving forward. Thrive Collaborative is a development company formed to lead the transformation to a Living Future and create life enhancing properties. Joey continues to develop leading-edge and progressive projects through Thrive and other avenues, building on a track record of successful deals (and unsuccessful, venturesome albeit enlightening) deals.
