Our extensive retail portfolio ranges from small tenant fit ups to large scale mixed use developments. Our clients and projects include national and regional operators as well as independent operators. Many of these relationships are rooted in such extensive history, that clients come to us in pre-planning stages to assist with budgeting, lease negotiations, and much more. Our relationships with retailers have taken us as far south as Virginia, and as far north as New Hampshire. Some of these partnerships have lead to more than 50 successful projects for a client. We're thrilled to be the first phone call a retailer makes when they're looking to expand and grow.

Experience

Fortunato Construction Group has built hundreds
of new retail destinations and renovations.

One of the ways we measure our success is by how often our clients choose to work with Fortunato Construction Group again and again on future projects. Over the years, we’ve worked with dozens of clients on multiple projects, from renovations and expansions to new construction.

This considerable repeat business reflects how carefully attuned we are to the concerns of our clients. We anticipate challenges in advance and provide guidance they can trust. Our team is experienced at navigating the process of the planning, design and construction and can offer guidance on what to expect, recommendations for keeping the project on track, and the leadership to ensure a successful project.

The following is a representative list of retail clients that entrust us with their projects over and over. It is not exhaustive, but is indicative of our depth and breadth of experience.

“Not only was the project Fortunato did the fastest I have ever seen, it is of exceptionally high quality. I’m very impressed.”

— Milton Rosenbert, Bernie's TV and Appliance

“The Fortunato management team brings to the project a strong blend of experience, diligence, and integrity, earning them respect from all those involved in the project. With that respect they are able to lead, manage and supervise the project with confidence and ensure that our goals as the project owner are consistently met.

Across the board Fortunato personnel demonstrate pride and integrity in the work they do. It is evident that the company’s ownership has fostered an environment where these traits are recognized and rewarded. For us as owner/developers, that translates to real value.
