GL Homes President Misha Ezratti highlighted a year of substantial growth and community engagement for the Florida homebuilder in 2025, focusing on both construction achievements and charitable activities. The company completed new residential communities in Boca Raton and Naples, delivering hundreds of homes while introducing innovative living concepts such as the multigenerational suite at APEX at Avenir in Palm Beach Gardens. Responsible development practices remained central to GL Homes' strategy, including land donations for infrastructure and preservation of natural environments. The integration of wellness amenities like walking trails and lifestyle programming aimed to enhance resident health and social connections within these communities.
Beyond construction, GL Homes maintained a strong commitment to philanthropy throughout the year. The company's annual CAN-tastic Competition, part of the Summer of Service initiative with the Harry Chapin Food Bank, involved employees constructing display homes from canned goods while collecting 1,000 cans of food and making monetary donations for hunger relief. Additional details about these efforts are available at https://glhomes.com. Community outreach extended to addressing homelessness through a partnership with The Lord's Place, where GL Homes fully sponsored the Meal Mobile program. Volunteers provided over 400 meals to individuals experiencing food insecurity while connecting them with essential services such as shelter assistance and hygiene resources.
During the holiday season, GL Homes hosted a Thanksgiving celebration for 180 children at the Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach, with meals prepared by Feeding South Florida and support from more than 10 employee volunteers. Misha Ezratti attributed these accomplishments to the collaborative efforts of staff, trade partners, and the communities served, emphasizing the company's culture of integrity and service as guiding principles. Looking forward to 2026, GL Homes plans to continue prioritizing sustainability and purpose-driven development while sustaining its community impact initiatives across Florida.
