Our Services
The Vertus Turnkey Experience
Vertus Asset Management provides a “Turnkey Experience” for tenants who lack the desire, ability or capital to perform their own tenant work within their space — generating elevated tenant leases and, ultimately, greater value in the asset itself.
What We Offer
Premier property development services for the Tri-State area
Vertus Asset Management targets well-located, undervalued assets and seeks to enhance performance through capital improvements, changes of use and the strategic placement of premium tenants.
As an experienced Opportunity Zone firm, Vertus creates compelling investment opportunities for investors — backed by a team experienced in every phase of development, from site acquisition and environmental remediation through design, construction and leasing.
Turnkey Tenant Buildouts
Design, permitting and construction of tenant spaces delivered for the tenant — elevating leases and asset value.
Value-Add Repositioning
Capital improvements, changes of use and premium tenant placement to unlock the full potential of each property.
Opportunity Zone Investments
Exciting investment opportunities within designated Opportunity Zones, including our Bay Street campus in St. George.
Brownfield Redevelopment
Experienced redeveloper of sites requiring environmental cleanup, working with the NYS Brownfield program.
Civil Design & Construction
Large multi-building commercial sites, residential cluster developments and stormwater management.
Construction Management

Our Difference
More than just your typical real estate developer
General Partner & Majority Owner
Vertus Asset Management insists on always being the General Partner of its projects, while maintaining a majority of the equity ownership in every one of them — our interests stay aligned with our partners and investors from start to finish.
In-House Construction
Vertus owns and operates a construction subsidiary, American Home Building and Masonry, which provides all aspects of construction — either by self-performance or by hiring trusted sub-contractors — giving us direct control over quality, schedule and cost.
