Verna Builders & Developers

Commercial Projects

Experience to Build. Vision to Develop.

For nearly 60 years, Verna Builders & Developers has helped Connecticut businesses create spaces that support productivity, growth, and long-term success.

From commercial construction and land development to design-build, construction management, tenant improvements, and maintenance, our experienced team manages projects from concept through completion. We work closely with clients to understand their needs, develop functional plans, control costs, and keep projects on schedule.

Our design-build approach allows us to manage both the design and construction process, reducing delays and unexpected costs while maintaining consistent quality. We work with trusted, long-standing subcontractors and vendors who share our commitment to craftsmanship and professionalism.

We also provide responsive maintenance and support to our tenants because their success is our success. Our long-standing tenant relationships reflect our commitment to quality, communication, integrity, and service.

With decades of experience and a forward-looking approach, Verna Builders & Developers builds spaces—and relationships—that stand the test of time.

What Our Commercial Clients Are Saying

"Our company has been in business for 37 years. We moved into our present location at Harvest Park in 2019. The space initially was not suitable for our needs; it was necessary to reconfigure the floor plan. Marco and his team listened to what we needed and then designed and completed an office space that met our needs perfectly.

As our company grew, we needed more space. As luck would have it, the tenant adjacent to our space was leaving. Again, Marco and his team went to work and created an office space with a hallway that joined the two spaces.The design atheistic provides us with both comfort and functionality. Marco and Liz are professional, attentive and friendly landlords. We are thankful to have met them and to have found this office space."

Rick and Stacy Stanton, Owners, Diversified Building Services

"The Vernas are a Wallingford family, and it shows! As the Town’s former Economic Development Specialist (retired) there was never hesitation to connect new prospective businesses and/or current businesses looking for different commercial space with Verna Builders and Developers. As responsible commercial property owners they consistently maintain quality properties and have a reputation for strong tenant relations. Simply put, they do what they say they will do and get quality work done on time. Respected, trusted, quality people, and quality properties."

Tim Ryan, Former Economic Development Specialist for Wallingford

"I became a commercial tenant of the Vernas in 2006, with my first business and again in 2009 with my second business. Throughout the years, I had a pleasant and strong business relationship with Liz, Marco, and Gerald. They were always responsive to my inquiries and kept the property in superb condition. It was extremely easy dealing with Verna Builders in every aspect of our business relationship. I am thankful to have had them as my landlord."

Peter J. Escobar, former President and Owner of Colonial Flooring America

"I was hired by Vincenzo Verna back in the early 90’s to handle some vacant storefronts at Circle Plaza on Rt 5 in Wallingford, I had great success working with Vincenzo and his team to lease the vacancies in a timely manner, over the years, Vincenzo added his children to the company, Elizabeth, Gerald, and Marco, all excel in their respective talents, and the company grew exceptionally fast. Today, with both residential and commercial properties spread throughout central CT, they have never looked back. They handle all facets of construction, daily maintenance of their properties, and administration of the same and all with the care of a family-owned company. To say they are second to none is an understatement. The Verna family are not only great people but wonderful landlords who treat all of their tenants with the courtesy and respect that they deserve."

Louis Proto, owner of The Proto Group LLC, North Haven CT

"Midstate Radiology Associates moved our Business Office from Meriden to Harvest Park in Wallingford back in 1992. We started off with 1500 square feet on the second floor. Since then, we expanded and took over another 14,000 square feet on both the first and second floor. With each expansion I met with Marco to discuss the buildout and timeline. Every buildout was done on time or ahead of schedule. Marco and his Team always took care of all our needs, even added an extra bathroom to accommodate our 60+ employees in our first floor Call Center. I have been with Midstate Radiology Associates for over 40 years and Verna Builders and Developers treats us like family. If a tenant was leaving, Marco would reach out to see if we needed more space. When our Call Center grew out of their space, Marco was able to move the tenant next to us to a location that gave their business more exposure which was better for them. With this accommodation, we were able to expand and stay in our current space."

Sandra Frederick, Business Manager, Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC.

"We have been a tenant in Verna Builders building for over 8 years. We have always found them very responsive and caring about our business and their properties. They have helped us with our growth plans and extra space requirements as we have grown and look forward to a long relationship together. We have been in business for over 20 years and they have been the best partner relationship for physical plant we have had by far!"

Bill Allen, COO, Direct Color Systems

"I would like to personally thank you for taking us through a very exciting journey in building our new Radiology Call Center. Once we met and began the project, everything that we desired for our business came to life as we consulted with your expert sales and design personnel. The personal attention that we received from you and Marco, along with the rest of the Verna organization made our build out an easy one. The timetable for completion was challenging and the cooperation and coordination that we received from everyone was tremendous! "

Tom Cappas, Director of Business Development & Outpatient Imaging, Hartford HealthCare, Midstate Radiology Associates, LLC

 

"As a tenant of over 27 years I can say that working with Verna Developers has been a great experience. Problems and issues have occurred over the years but each one was resolved quickly and professionally. They recently “refreshed” our office area just because it was looking a little tired and worn out. Now it looks like a brand-new space! "
