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.
In just over five years, Verdex has earned numerous awards and prestigious industry recognition, including being selected as a finalist for 2020 Business of the Year by the South Florida Business Journal, finalist for 2020 Business of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches, and being selected as a GrowFL “Company to Watch”.

VERDEX CONSTRUCTION ANNOUNCES NEW GAINESVILLE OFFICE, NAMES MANAGING DIRECTOR
West Palm Beach-based Verdex Construction has announced the launch of an additional office in Gainesville to serve the company’s clients located in north Florida. This is Verdex’s second expansion outside of its West Palm Beach headquarters following its expansion to Tampa last year.
The Gainesville office will be led by Joey Mandese, who has been named Vice President and Managing Director of Verdex’s North Florida office. Mandese, a 30-year construction industry veteran who previously owned his own construction company in Gainesville, most recently worked as Senior Project Manager for Planning, Construction and Design at the University of Florida. He is also a graduate of the University of Florida, with a B.S. in Building Construction.
“I worked with Joey at a previous company, and as soon as we decided to expand our operation into north Florida, I knew that his skill set, leadership, relationships and knowledge of the market make him the right person to lead and grow our North Florida office,” said Verdex President Rex Kirby. “Joey embodies our company’s anthem of “Building Something Better.”
Verdex Construction’s recent projects include the Canopy by Hilton West Palm Beach Downtown, the much-acclaimed new hotel opening March 2020; 1000 North, an upscale restaurant/club on the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter; Water Tower Commons apartments in the Town of Lantana; Indigo Station apartments in Deerfield Beach, and Westshore Apartments in Tampa.
