The Single-Family Home Builder's Secret

MIAMI—As buildable land becomes scarce and foreign investors continue to move into the single-family segment, there is a dearth of affordably priced single family new construction. Yet while most homebuilders are targeting the investor with luxury construction, Central Communities is bucking this trend by focusing on infill development geared towards the end user.

As a result, Central is growing rapidly at a time when many competitors are retracting.

There has been strong demand for single-family homes in Orlando in recent quarters on this front.
