About
Danny Heggen
Principal
13 years developing housing across the Midwest. $500M+ in total development, $30M/year current pace, partner at DEV Partners.
I've used every workforce housing tool that exists — and fought seven bad appraisals in 2025 alone that nearly killed projects the workforce needed. That fight built the Workforce Rent Affordability methodology.
HRI is the system I wished existed: a national database covering 6,271 cities and 41,554 zip codes. Now available to developers, banks, cities, architects, and civil engineers who want the same edge.
The approach
HRI is not a consulting firm that sells opinions. It is a research institute backed by a national database. Every recommendation is data-driven, every source is cited, and every deliverable is built to withstand scrutiny — from bank examiners, city councils, and investment committees.
Engagements are limited by design. This is not a volume practice. Every client gets direct access to the principal, the platform, and the methodology.
Openings now available.
