AVB formed in 1981 by Joe Gesmundo and Daryl Rynd, who shared a passion for creating great places to live and work. Together, AVB’s founding principals collaborated on the Kalamazoo area’s premier master-planned community, Woodbridge Hills. This visionary mixed-use community includes a retail center, medical and surgical buildings, office buildings, luxury condominiums, upscale private residences, and a private golf course. Today, AVB is a leading regional construction and development firm, dedicated to building great homes, buildings, and developments. AVB’s commercial construction portfolio includes projects such as the Ascension Borgess Surgery Expansion, the Stryker Corporation World Headquarters, Portage Public Schools, the AIA award winning Newell Brands International Design Center, Consumers Credit Union Headquarters, and the LEED Gold certified 400 Rose apartments in downtown Kalamazoo.
