WINTER PARK, FL-Locally based Engineered Homes plans to launch five new communities this year totaling 2,000 multifamily and single-family residences in a four-county area, newly named company president Steve O’Dowd tells GlobeSt.com. O’Dowd says the company’s inventory ran dry last year when unprecedented buyer demand sold out all of the firm’s 261 homes for $103.9 million or an average $398,084 per residence. In 2004, the 11-year-old builder posted $171.5 million on 629 sales for an average $272,655 per home.

“We currently have 1,989 homes in our Central Florida pipeline,” O’Dowd says. “That’s a lot on our plate and we believe we’ll need every bit of it.” The company’s products are going up in Orange, Seminole, Lake, Osceola and Polk counties “While we feel our inventory is sufficient to carry us for the next several years, that won’t preclude us from continuing to look for land suited for future residential development.”
