Founders Message

Building communities. It’s more than just what we do. It defines who we are as a company. We create communities for families to call home. We create communities with lasting value.

Founded in 1993, Cornerstone Group has since developed nearly 50 apartment communities consisting of more than 15,000 multifamily rental and condominium units throughout Florida. We began as a small, privately held start-up company, and through strategic planning and diversification, we are now ranked as the 10th largest multifamily developer in the United States – the 5th largest in Florida -- by the National Association of Home Builders.

Throughout our company’s history, our commitment to quality has remained steadfast. We set exceptional but attainable standards for our communities in every market we enter, and always provide superior amenities and management.

We also create a sense of community for our employees – whose teamwork and talents have been integral to our success throughout our history. We take pride in their contributions, their unique abilities and their unwavering pledge of excellence.

For our corporate investors, we have consistently delivered excellent, highly stable, low-risk returns. It is this fiscal prudence that has gained us the respect and partnership of some of the country’s leading financial groups and institutional investors.

As our expansion continues, Cornerstone Group currently operates five integrated but wholly independent divisions to develop and manage our properties. Cornerstone Premier Communities develops luxury condominiums and townhomes; Cornerstone Group Development creates market-rate and affordable rental communities; Cornerstone Residential Management is our leasing and property management division; Alliance Construction provides general contracting and construction management services; and Mainstream Communications offers cable, communications and alarm/security products and services to residential and commercial developments.

This past year our profitable and strategic growth led to a near doubling in the size of our workforce and corporate facilities. We now count more than 370 employees system-wide, gross annual revenues approaching $200 million, and a development/management real estate portfolio aggregately valued at almost $1 billion.

We are immensely proud of our growth and achievements during the first decade of Cornerstone’s history. Together with our partners, valued employees and associates, we have created a company of strength and quality. We look forward to creating communities for the future, and together charting a course for our continued success.
