POWER 25: REAL ESTATE 2021
Vincencia Adusei, Founder & President, VASE Management
A passion for making real estate improvements is part of Vincencia Adusei’s heritage, as the Ghana native comes from a family of builders.
Adusei’s parents built a successful construction company and she often accompanied them to job sites as a child.
Adusei is both founder and president of her own construction management and real estate development company, VASE Management, which is based on Ferry Street in New Haven. She launched the company in 2002, and since then, it has completed several residential and commercial projects in the public, private and nonprofit sectors, including for the state of Connecticut, Elm City Communities/New Haven Housing Authority, Yale University and Ansonia Housing Authority.
The company, for example, renovated Yale University’s Phelps Hall offices, a project that included painting, flooring, ceiling, woodwork and lighting. Following the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy, VASE Management assisted homeowners in rehabilitating and rebuilding some 37 residential structures. Adusei has recently been involved in redeveloping Elm City Communities’ 214-unit Charles T. McQueeney apartments for elderly and disabled residents.
As a member of Fairfield County’s Community Foundation, she works to encourage interest in the construction and real estate fields among other women.
Adusei’s goal is to expand her business in the coming years throughout Connecticut, Miami, Kenya and Ghana.
