Preferred Developer Clients

Walgreens
Walgreens is the nation’s largest drugstore chain, with stores from the Atlantic to the Pacific. However, when the Chicago-based company decided to enter Northeast Ohio in 1994, they knew they would be in for a fight. Not only was the market fiercely competitive in its own right, it was also the home market of one of Walgreens’ biggest competitors. To make sure they got off on the right foot, Walgreens asked Visconsi Companies, Ltd., to help open the gates of this potentially lucrative new territory.

Chosen as much for their development and management experience as for their intimate knowledge of the area, Visconsi Companies, Ltd., initially working in partnership with the Blackstone Group, assembled and acquired the sites that would allow Walgreens to make an immediate impact in Northeast Ohio.

To date, Visconsi Companies has completed over eighty Walgreens projects, with others in development. Thanks to the success of the Northeast Ohio development program, Walgreens has asked Visconsi Companies, Ltd. to assist in Walgreens’ expansion and entry into new markets.

KeyBank
KeyBank is one of the nation’s largest bank-based financial services companies, with assets of approximately $87 billion and over 1000 full service branches. In 2010, KeyBank selected Visconsi Companies as their national Preferred Developer. We are currently identifying and securing sites, as well as developing new branches, throughout their coast-to-coast fourteen state market area. We additionally serve as transaction manager for new branches and existing branch relocations in a number of KeyBank’s markets.
