DEV BUILDERS GROUP: OUR HISTORY

BUILDING A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE IN PUERTO RICO

DEV Builders Group is a family-owned developer based in Puerto Rico, recognized for its high-end, concierge construction services. We specialize in premium commercial projects and high-performance refurbishments that exceed client expectations in quality, scheduling, and delivery.

For more than 20 years, we’ve been trusted by Puerto Rico’s leading institutions and international investors for one reason: we deliver. On budget. On time. With absolute attention to detail.


Our mission is to transform visions into reality through white glove service, strategic project management, and exceptional craftsmanship, while raising the standard of construction in Puerto Rico.


ROOTS IN INNOVATION AND COMMUNITY

Founded by father and son duo, Ricardo de Varona Sr. and Ricardo de Varona Jr., DEV Builders Group was created to change how construction was done in Puerto Rico. 


From the beginning, our focus was clear: bring innovation, integrity, and a premium client experience to every commercial project.


Our early years were defined by successful partnerships on high-profile dealership builds such as Lexus de San Juan I, Triangle Toyota (65th Infantry), and Chrysler 65. These projects tested our team and strengthened our core values: transparency, consistency, and total client satisfaction.


The result? Repeat business from clients who trust our process and appreciate our ability to simplify complex construction while protecting their investment.

EXPANDING HORIZONS, DELIVERING EXCELLENCE

 As the Puerto Rico construction market grew, so did our portfolio and capabilities. We expanded into large-scale commercial buildings, visitor centers, service centers, and post-hurricane restorations.


Our growth was driven by a commitment to construction quality assurance, seamless scheduling, and a deep understanding of our clients’ goals.

Fleet ownership enables us to provide white glove service delivery, direct equipment management, and the highest level of project timeline optimization on every build.

BUILDING THE FUTURE

At DEV Builders Group, we’re not just building structures, we’re building what’s next. Our focus on sustainable development, digital planning tools, and smart construction strategies allows us to scale efficiently while reducing waste and increasing value.


We’re actively expanding our services across the Caribbean while continuing to lead in Puerto Rico. Our upcoming projects reflect a future rooted in innovation, performance, and a concierge-level commitment to client outcomes.


To U.S. investors, we offer more than a construction partner, we offer certainty. With DEV Builders Group, you get a premium experience, full-service execution, and a trusted team that builds as if your project were our own.
