Graef
Headquartered in Milwaukee, GRAEF has made a commitment by keeping its largest office within the city limits since founding partners Luther Graef, Leonard Anhalt and Robert Schloemer opened the office in 1961. Currently located on Milwaukee’s west side, GRAEF will soon be moving its new national headquarters to The Avenue in downtown Milwaukee, as a catalyst in the revitalization of Milwaukee’s Westown neighborhood and rebirth of the Grand Avenue.
