GL Homes president Misha Ezratti reflected on a year of growth and community impact as the company completed developments across Florida while expanding its philanthropic efforts. Guided by the shared vision of Misha Ezratti and his father, founder Itzhak Ezratti, the company delivered hundreds of homes in Boca Raton and Naples while introducing innovative living options like the multigenerational suite at APEX at Avenir in Palm Beach Gardens.
The company's approach extends beyond construction to include responsible development practices such as land donations for roadways and community spaces, preservation of natural landscapes, and incorporation of wellness-focused amenities like walking trails. These efforts reflect both Florida's real estate growth and Misha Ezratti's leadership in driving thoughtful development that prioritizes resident connection, health, and longevity.
Philanthropy remained central to GL Homes' mission throughout 2025, with initiatives addressing homelessness, hunger, and children's welfare. Through the annual CAN-tastic Competition with the Harry Chapin Food Bank, employees built display homes from canned goods and collected 1,000 cans of food while making donations to support hunger relief. The company's partnership with The Lord's Place included fully sponsoring the Meal Mobile, through which volunteers provided more than 400 meals to individuals facing homelessness and connected them with essential services including shelter assistance and hygiene resources.
During the holiday season, GL Homes hosted a Thanksgiving celebration for 180 children at the Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach, with meals prepared by Feeding South Florida and support from more than 10 employee volunteers. The event reinforced the company's focus on purpose-driven development and community impact beyond housing construction.
Misha Ezratti emphasized appreciation for staff members, trade partners, and communities that contributed to the company's success, noting that integrity and service guide the organizational culture. His leadership approach recognizes that meaningful community development requires collaboration across multiple stakeholders.
Looking ahead to 2026, GL Homes plans to continue integrating wellness, design, and environmental stewardship into its developments while maintaining focus on community impact and Florida real estate growth. The company's vision centers on sustainability and purpose-driven development that creates spaces where residents can thrive.
