To date, Century has built over 16,000 homes for South Florida families, making it the largest Hispanic-owned homebuilder in the nation.
W ith numerous distinctive communities in prime locations surrounded by established businesses and great schools, Century has earned the trust and respect of homebuyers who understand that “value” involves more than just affordable prices.
We keep our outstanding reputation intact through our strong commitment to community service and by employing talented individuals whose goals are one in the same: to improve the quality of life of South Florida’s residents by delivering communities that are invaluable yet affordable.
Meet Our President & Founder,
I believe that there are important decisions in one’s life that are truly invaluable – buying a home is one of those decisions and choosing the homebuilder is a privilege to the builder. My number one priority is for Century to be that builder because a home is not only a place you come home to every day, it’s where families share memories together, where life-growing changes happen that can never be replaced.
I have always believed that one achieves excellence only by cultivating and maintaining a sense of passion about something. It’s difficult to feel truly passionate about more than just a few things. Some that come to mind include one’s family, lifelong hobbies or past-times, and the sense of accomplishment that fills a productive and rewarding day. One of my passions is building homes. I have a strong interest in its ability to help customers acquire a valuable asset – a new home. For most people, it’s not just an investment that will grow in value. A new home is the most important purchase a person will make because a home is where the future lies.
In today’s world, more than ever before, it’s important to consider the comfort, convenience and security a new home represents. Few things in a lifetime will generate more precious memories than good times at home. Today’s modern home provides a foundation for family, personal and professional growth.
