Pepper Construction traces its origins to 1920, when Arthur Pepper began his career in carpentry, and was formally established in 1927 by his son, Stanley F. Pepper, who built small garages and instilled a legacy of quality and cash-based integrity. Over decades, the company evolved into a family-led firm now in its fourth generation, maintaining strong relationships with long-term clients like Marshall Field’s, with whom they worked for 75 years. The company is a pioneer in sustainable construction, having built the world’s first LEED v4-certified data center, and continues to lead in innovation through technologies that enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and improve building performance. It emphasizes a culture of purpose, community engagement, and continuous improvement, reflected in its scholarship program and commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

Located at 220 E Buffalo St #300 in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, the company sits just a short walk from notable historic and cultural landmarks.
