What Corner Lot does

Corner Lot Development Group is a privately-held real estate development firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company develops across six vertical lines — single-family residential, multifamily, urban mixed-use, commercial, hospitality, and historic preservation adaptive reuse — and was named the leading independent, privately-owned real estate development firm in North Florida. Its product surface spans master-planned communities (Kings Preserve, 742 homes across 740 acres), Class A multifamily communities (Artea, Avion, Beachline, Flagler Crossing, The Avery, Camellia, totaling 1,400+ units), build-to-suit commercial buildings (O'Reilly Auto Parts, Circle K), offices (Corner Lot Center, former Summit Tower, anchor leased to Shutts & Bowen), hospitality assets (Home2 Suites by Hilton, One Ocean Resort & Spa), and a private golf club (Glen Kernan). The company operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Breeze Homes, a single-family homebuilder led by former Lennar executive Matt Devereaux, and Corner Lot Living, the multifamily operations brand. Differentiated capabilities include workforce housing program structuring (30% of units at 100% AMI with capped 2% annual rent increases), Jacksonville's first transit-oriented development (Artea at Southbank via partnership with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and historic adaptive reuse of 19th- and early-20th-century structures.

Revenue mechanics span multiple streams: one-time lot sales to national homebuilders (Lennar, Meritage, Taylor Morrison, DR Horton); one-time condominium/home sales through Breeze Homes and third-party builders; commercial building dispositions (O'Reilly build-to-suit sold for $2.8M at 5% cap rate on a 15-year lease); recurring rental income on retained multifamily communities; event and programming income (NoCo Center, Beyond Van Gogh); property management fees on Corner Lot Center (90,000 sq ft, ~90% leased); and hospitality management fees via JV partners (Sage, Kelco). Distribution is sales-led via enterprise negotiation for commercial deals and direct pre-leasing for multifamily, supported by project-specific websites. Customer segments include workforce housing residents, luxury multifamily renters, single-family homebuyers, commercial tenants, hospitality guests, and real estate investors acquiring stabilized portfolios. Capital structure is project-level: equity from DLP Capital, First Coast Real Estate Partners, Aspect Real Estate, and Hampton Golf; debt from Trustmark Bank, First National Bank; construction outsourced to Summit Contracting Group. No public-disclosed revenue, headcount, funding rounds, or valuations are available; the firm is founder/owner-led (CEO Andy Allen, COO George Leone) with no disclosed institutional equity capital.
