Vantage Builders opens RI office - holds “Hi Neighbor!” celebration

Lincoln, RI Vantage Builders, Inc., a commercial contractor specializing in pre-construction, construction management and design-build services, has opened a Rhode Island office, located at 42 Albion Rd. The office is the firm’s third, joining its headquarters in Waltham, Mass. and a branch office in Orlando, Fla.

“We are very excited about the opening of our Lincoln office,” said John Connor, principal of Vantage Builders and Rhode Island native. “Vantage Builders was founded in 2000 and we have completed many projects in Rhode Island during our 22 years. We are looking forward to growing our presence in the state as we target exciting new opportunities.”

On December 6, the firm celebrated the grand opening of the office with a party at Narragansett Brewery in Providence. More than 50 clients, team members and friends of the firm gathered to say “Hi Neighbor!” to Vantage’s new Rhode Island location!

The new office was opened in response to growing demand for the firm’s services, as Vantage continues to expand in the Rhode Island market, as well as to provide an additional option for the members of the firm’s growing team who live in the area. The office features an open work environment, with “hot desking” which will allow Vantage employees the flexibility to work in either the firm’s headquarters in Waltham or the new location.

No stranger to the Ocean State, Vantage Builders has completed work in Rhode Island for a wide range of clients, including The Learning Experience, Neon Marketplace, the Viking Hotel, and National Grid.

The office was opened within weeks of Rhode Island beginning adult-use cannabis sales. Vantage has become one of the leading construction firms serving the fast-growing cannabis market, with approximately one million s/f of projects either completed or in process, including cultivation, processing and dispensary facilities.
