GHO Homes Corporation

What GHO Homes Corporation does

GHO Homes Corporation is a private Florida homebuilder founded in 1983 and headquartered in Port St. Lucie, operating as a subsidiary of Green Brick Partners (NYSE: GRBK). The company constructs and sells new single-family homes across nine planned communities on Florida's Treasure Coast, spanning Indian River County and St. Lucie County. Its product portfolio ranges from entry-level homes in High Pointe priced from the upper $500s to ultra-luxury beachside residences at Seaglass and The Strand priced from $1.3 million to over $3 million, with home sizes from approximately 1,899 to over 4,000 square feet.

GHO Homes differentiates through three structural elements: a Design Studio experience center where buyers select finishes and fixtures, a Tailor Made Program that enables structural modifications to floor plans, and bundled community amenities including the Grand Harbor Golf & Country Club membership, private beach clubs, gated entry with Envera Smart Gate System, and resort-style shared facilities. The company generates revenue primarily through one-time new home sales, supplemented by customization and premium finish upsells through the Design Studio and Tailor Made Program. A dedicated realtor program offering 50% commissions at contract and a Year-to-Close deferred closing program support its go-to-market, alongside direct sales through eleven on-site model homes and sales offices.

The company employs 51-100 people across its headquarters, a Design Studio and warranty service office in Vero Beach, and a commercial real estate affiliate, GHO Commercial. Customer segments include affluent luxury homebuyers seeking coastal lifestyle, retirees and seasonal residents purchasing second or vacation homes, and real estate professionals who represent buyers. The business is geographically concentrated on Florida's Treasure Coast and benefits from corporate backing and capital access through its publicly traded parent, with no disclosed revenue or external funding.
