About Nazar Vincent
Owner & CEO
Nazar Vincent stands at the forefront of the commercial and residential construction industry in New England. With a career rooted in entrepreneurship and a pioneering spirit, Nazar has carved out a reputation as a visionary leader and innovator in design-build construction. Through his companies Avatar Construction, Attitash Custom Home Builders, and Bridgewater Development he has successfully redefined construction processes to deliver unparalleled quality, efficiency, and value.
A Legacy of Entrepreneurship
Nazar’s entrepreneurial spirit took root early. At just 12 years old, he began honing his business acumen by performing music during public holiday events and crafting wooden goods to sell to the local community. These early ventures sowed the seeds for what would become an extraordinary career.
When Nazar immigrated to the United States at the age of 15, he spoke little English and faced the challenges of adapting to a new country, culture, and language. Undeterred, he pursued his education and tried various roles across industries, quickly realizing his potential for success lay in forging his own path. A pivotal moment came when an employer dismissed his skills, asking him to clean instead of close an important sale. This experience fueled Nazar’s decision to start his own business, placing control of his future firmly in his hands.
At the age of 19, armed with determination and an entrepreneurial mindset, Nazar launched his first business in 1999. Over the years, he gained extensive experience across construction, development, design, and hospitality – an expertise that has driven his success as a business leader and consultant.
A Visionary in Design-Build Construction
Nazar’s companies have been instrumental in transforming the construction landscape across New England by championing his own unique design-build model, which integrates project planning, design, and construction under one umbrella. This innovative approach not only streamlines processes but also ensures consistently high-quality results customized to meet each client’s precise needs.
Through Avatar Construction, Nazar oversees commercial building projects that are both functional and inspiring. Attitash Custom Home Builders reflects his commitment to excellence in high-end residential construction, creating custom homes that harmonize beauty and craftsmanship. Meanwhile, Bridgewater Development represents Nazar’s strategic focus on multi-family real estate through thoughtful, high-impact property investments and opportunity zone development.
Nazar’s Philosophy & Leadership Principles
For Nazar, business leadership and personal growth are deeply aligned. Drawing inspiration from parallel passions like race car driving, he compares the precision and intensity of managing a company to the focus required to drive at speeds over 200 mph. His mindset and principles extend beyond construction, embodying lessons applicable to every industry.
