West Palm Beach-based Verdex Construction has appointed Daniel Lawrence as Business Development Manager in Tampa, FL.

Lawrence has more than 20 years of experience leading and developing significant projects in Tampa and across the country as part of Caspers Company. Projects included rezoning and restoration of the historic redevelopment of the Stovall House in Tampa; development of The Library Restaurant located within Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg; and renovation of the landmark Alexander Brown Restaurant in downtown Baltimore, MD.
“Daniel knows the Tampa Bay area inside and out and has built deep relationships across the industry,” said Verdex Construction President Rex Kirby. “The Tampa market is primed for significant growth over the next few years and we can bring value and experience to developers looking to address those needs.”
Lawrence is a graduate of Saint Leo University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration and Management. He is a resident of Tampa with his wife and daughter.
Verdex Construction is currently building The Pointe on Westshore multifamily apartment community at 4950 West Prescott Street in Tampa. Other recent projects include the Canopy by Hilton West Palm Beach Downtown; 1000 North, an upscale restaurant/club on the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter; and Town Lantana Apartments in Lantana, FL.

VERDEX CONSTRUCTION BEGINS PARK VIEW AT PALMETTO BAY
West Palm Beach-based Verdex Construction was selected by Atlantic Realty Partners to build Park View at Palmetto Bay, a 235-unit multifamily apartment community at 9500 SW 174th St. in Palmetto Bay, FL. Construction is underway with completion expected in May 2022. The project was designed by MSA Architects of Miami.
The five-story community consists of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments totaling 431,000 sq. ft. on a 3.65-acre site. The apartments will wrap around a five-story, 371-space parking deck that will allow residents easy access to their units. Amenities include a pool, barbecue area, dog spa, fitness club, and clubroom. Parkview will also contain 1,380 sq. ft. of retail space that will serve local residents and visitors.
“As with our recent Canopy Hotel and Watermark Senior Living projects in Downtown West Palm Beach, this project will be built on a very tight site requiring infill expertise, detailed traffic coordination and local neighborhood communication,” said Rex Kirby, President of Verdex Construction. “This is our second project for Atlantic Realty, and our second in Miami-Dade County as we continue to expand our operations across Florida.”
Verdex Construction’s recent projects throughout South Florida include the Canopy by Hilton West Palm Beach Downtown; 1000 North, an upscale restaurant/club on the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter; and Town Lantana Apartments in Lantana.
