About Us

Helping health care and education leaders finance, build and operate efficient, healthful and disaster-resistant facilities.

VerdeCapitalResources, LLC, facilitates health care and education leaders in securing financing for the purchase of land, and the construction, renovation and equipment for healthful, efficient, disaster-resistant and flexible facilities that benefit the workforce and the communities they serve.

The company grew out of John Porretto’s commitment to healthful buildings that promote and preserve wellness, productivity and resource conservation. During his nearly four decades of experience in senior positions in higher education and health care, John learned about poorly constructed and neglected “sick buildings,” where employees and students are at risk and where patients, who enter the buildings to get well, instead contract deadly infections.

John believes that hasty designs and concerns focused on “first costs” of construction contribute to inferior, expensive facilities and can be avoided with a deliberate and systematic approach to design, construction and maintenance. Higher education and health care organizations hold a serious fiduciary responsibility that extends well beyond “first cost” considerations (less than 20 percent of a typical building’s lifetime costs) to the greater long-term operation and maintenance costs (more than 80 percent).

VerdeCapitalResources facilitates securing financing for new construction and retrofits that meet sustainability goals.

Proposed buildings and supporting equipment must be healthful, flexible and enduring, as well as highly energy-efficient and disaster-resistant. Such physical environments require fewer resources for operation and maintenance and therefore enable health care and education organizations to dedicate more resources toward achieving their core service missions.
