Character Q&A: Hassani Franklin

For his Q&A, Hassani and I meet in his office, tucked away in the glass-walled corner of Bryant Greene’s office building. The office is sleek and modern, with two computer monitors on his desk, a high-backed leather chair, and an unobstructed view of the entire building. His eyes drift toward the photo of him and Ayla on their wedding day in Jamaica, the only personal touch in the otherwise minimalist space.

Right now, he’s preparing for the next phase of the Greene Gardens project, the dream project he’s spearheading. The transition from meetings and planning to the actual construction of the properties is about to begin, but we catch up just before all the heavy lifting starts. It’s a brief break from the whirlwind of work and the new chapter in his life.

“I’m really looking forward to it…” Hassani grins. “This is the start of something big for both work and home. We’ve got a lot ahead of us.”
