What Holiday Builders does

Holiday Builders is a private, employee-owned residential homebuilder founded on April 23, 1983 in Melbourne, Florida, and currently ranked #49 on the Builder 100 list. The company constructs new single-family homes across 40+ active communities spanning six Florida regions (Central East, Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest) plus Coastal Alabama, with headquarters in Melbourne and multiple model home sales centers. Holiday Builders offers three floorplan collections — Inspire (entry-level, sub-$300K for first-time buyers), Value (streamlined, curated finishes), and Cornerstone (premium, with personalization and multi-generational options) — ranging from approximately $200K to $530K+ per home. Homes are built to current Florida Building Codes with energy-efficient construction, hurricane-resistant features (impact-resistant windows, metal roofs, Hardie siding), and coastal-inspired exterior design, marketed through direct-to-consumer sales channels including model homes, sales centers, website, and community events.

The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no third-party broker dependence, supported by an integrated financing and closing platform. Coastal Loans (a partnership with Acrisure Mortgage, NMLS# 152859) provides captive mortgage origination with rate buydowns and closing cost assistance, while HB Title delivers in-house title services — a one-stop-shop approach that captures margin competitors typically cede to third parties. Customer segments span first-time and move-up homebuyers (primary), 55+ active adults, military families near Tyndall Air Force Base, and multi-generational families. The company employs 101–250 people, delivered 1,600+ homes in 2023, and continues to expand its community portfolio with recent launches including Salt Creek at Mexico Beach (554-acre Gulf Coast master-planned community), Spanish Lakes (55+ active adult community in Fort Pierce), Pineapple Grove, and Tillman Oaks in Rockledge. Long-standing leadership includes Bruce Assam, Richard Fadil, and Rich Brown.
