Itchko Ezratti, founder and chairman of GL Homes, continues to shape Florida's housing landscape through a vision centered on integrity, responsibility and community connection. While establishing one of Florida's largest private home builders, Ezratti's influence extends beyond construction into the neighborhoods and people his company serves.
As Florida's housing market experiences unprecedented growth, Ezratti remains committed to development that balances economic opportunity with environmental stewardship and social well-being. His approach emphasizes quality over speed, sustainability over shortcuts and community over mere construction. GL Homes developments are known for thoughtful design, premium materials and amenities that encourage connection, from recreational spaces to programming that enriches residents' lives.
Ezratti's philosophy has helped set a new standard for responsible Florida living through developments that prioritize long-term value over short-term gains. His dedication to excellence and community has also guided the next generation of leadership, with his son Misha Ezratti now serving as president of GL Homes and carrying forward his father's vision while guiding the company into the future.
Together, they have strengthened the GL Homes mission to build responsibly and give generously, ensuring every project contributes positively to both people and place. Under their leadership, the company continues to integrate smart planning practices and philanthropic partnerships into its business model. These initiatives not only enhance residents' lives but also contribute to Florida's long-term vitality through sustainable development approaches.
From the company's beginnings to its communities across the state today, Ezratti's principles have remained constant: building with care, leading with integrity and investing in the human side of development. Each GL Homes neighborhood reflects his belief that home building is as much about fostering connection as it is about construction, creating spaces where communities can thrive rather than merely exist.
As Florida continues to grow, Ezratti envisions a future where responsible development and community flourish together through careful planning and ethical practices. Guided by values of quality, compassion and stewardship, GL Homes remains dedicated to creating neighborhoods that stand the test of time both structurally and socially. The company's approach demonstrates how development can address housing needs while preserving environmental resources and strengthening community bonds, offering a model for sustainable growth in rapidly expanding markets.
