GL HOMES SMART PLANNING


We Build Communities with Purpose and Care
Known for building some of Florida’s most sought-after neighborhoods, GL Homes stands out for balancing beautiful community design with doing the right thing through responsible development. It all stems from our smart planning process.
From preserving green spaces to repurposing mature trees where possible, every community is unique and we take pride in tailoring our approach to each property. The one thing every community has in common: you can see the GL difference as soon as you arrive.



Designed for Nature, Built for You
We approach our community design and land development with care, often exceeding regulations. Our smart planning starts long before construction, with a careful study of each site’s history, geography, and environment.
Over the years, we have helped preserve wildlife habitats, managed stormwater systems, and even conserved water. This thoughtful approach has made GL Homes a trusted name in Florida real estate, with over 100,000 residents calling our communities home.
Partnerships that Power Progress
In addition to implementing responsible development techniques whenever possible, we have contributed to the broader public good by donating land, building essential roadways, and supporting local housing initiatives. These public-private partnerships are a core pillar of GL Homes’ smart planning, resulting in both a better quality of life for the greater community and supporting regional growth.



Smart, Sustainable & Beautiful by Design
At GL Homes, we take pride in incorporating features that not only look beautiful but also make a lasting, positive impact. Our landscaping uses native plants and hydrozoning techniques, along with smart irrigation systems, to help conserve water and support local wildlife. Around our lakes, we plant littoral zones that improve water quality and encourage biodiversity. And when we can, we preserve or relocate mature trees to reduce impact and enhance natural beauty. It’s all part of our goal to design and build luxurious neighborhoods that also respect and enhance the environment.
Wellness as a Way of Life
We see wellness as an essential part of smart planning – and it’s something we thoughtfully incorporate into every community. Our communities support healthier, more connected living with facilities and programs that bring neighbors together through fitness, sports, social clubs and events that encourage meaningful connections. Everything is designed to help our residents feel a sense of wellness and thrive in their daily lives for many years to come.
