MISSION AND HISTORY
The Velez Organization (Velez) literally started with a big break when Andrew Velez, a union carpenter, fell two stories and broke his ankle. Unable to work, he returned to school and started a small contracting firm in his Brooklyn apartment as a Federal Government 8A contractor in 1972.
As the business began to grow, his daughter Elizabeth, now President of the Velez Organization, would visit his construction sites in order to spend time with him and developed an interest in the industry.Â
LEADERSHIP
Elizabeth Velez serves as President for all of Velez’s business and management activities.
