VERDEX CONSTRUCTION CELEBRATES 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Verdex Construction proudly celebrates its 10-year anniversary of transformative growth. Known for its innovative construction practices, unparalleled service, and community impact over the past ten years, Verdex has built more than 10 million square feet of multifamily, industrial, commercial, senior living, hospitality, government/education, and non-profit spaces, and has won awards for Best Places to Work, safety, quality, growth, and leadership. A few years ago, the company expanded its footprint with offices in Tampa and Gainesville, marking its commitment to growth and excellence throughout Florida.
Founded in 2014 by CEO and President, Rex Kirby, Verdex Construction has quickly become noted for “Building Something Better” – from its teams to its projects.

In addition to building approximately 7,000 garden-style to high-rise apartment units, Verdex’s success is underscored by its portfolio of award-winning projects. One of Verdex’s most well-known projects, The Canopy Hotel, located in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, won a 2020 Excellence in Construction Gold Eagle Award from the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Florida East Coast Chapter and the 2019 Legacy Award for North America New Build by Hilton. Another significant achievement is The Watermark at West Palm Beach, a luxury senior living community that has garnered acclaim, winning a 2023 Golden Eagle Award by ABC East Coast Chapter.
