Vision
We aspire to be known across the commercial development industry for our unparalleled ability to build whatever our customers envision.
Menemsha
The Algonquin Indian term for calm waters, peaceful, and safe refuge.
A quaint salt-water pond and fishing village on Martha’s Vineyard’s westerly shore.
An idea for a company, from two college buddies, that grew strong and successful by rethinking how to design and construct buildings better.
A simple idea: work collaboratively, listen closely, leverage the right technologies, and surround ourselves with exceptional talent. That commitment, grounded in friendship, curiosity, and passion, continues to drive who we are and how we serve our clients.
History
Our roots are in restaurant and retail development, but we now work across multiple market segments. From banking, higher education, healthcare, and corporate offices, to complete commercial development projects – we’ve grown simply by helping our clients grow smart.
Menemsha stands alone in an industry crowded with companies claiming they can provide multiple or turnkey services. As a vertically integrated company, we truly specialize in each service we provide. Sharing expertise among our divisions has meant we’ve become the best in the industry. It’s that simple.
We started with Construction and quickly added Facility Survey services. Our clients asked for more. Since we’re very good listeners, we added Architecture and Interior Design. With all of these great businesses now within our family, we decided to create a Program Management Division for clients who wanted to leverage our expertise in orchestrating and navigating complex projects. Today, Menemsha’s Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) methodology links our diverse skill sets across one or all of our service lines. We know that shared knowledge between expert teams and resources drives better outcomes, sooner, and for less cost.
From a modest start in Los Angeles, and then Boston, we’ve grown into a nationwide team of diversely skilled professionals. Menemsha is committed to developing a peaceful and safe refuge for every project, large or small.
Let us know what you’re working on. We’ve got the team, the resources, and the drive to help you realize it. And yes, we’ve still got the curiosity and the passion.

Later, bringing this strategy into the healthcare sector, he successfully applied a similar approach to dialysis centers, Lasik eye surgery clinics, and dental offices.
