Winter Park Construction (WPC)

What Winter Park Construction (WPC) does

Winter Park Construction (WPC) is a privately-held, family-owned general contractor founded in 1974 by Tracy Forrest and headquartered in Ocoee, Florida. Following Tracy Forrest's death in October 2020, his son Jeffrey P. Forrest assumed the President/Managing Partner role. The firm specializes in multifamily housing, senior living, hospitality, and student housing construction across Central Florida and select national markets. It reports more than 14,000 completed projects, approximately 250 million square feet built, and nearly 40,000 multifamily units delivered in Florida; named customers include Orange Lake Country Club (29-year relationship), Hilton Grand Vacations, Tavistock Development (Marriott dual-branded), Bluegreen Vacations, Rollins College, American Campus Communities, Sonata Senior Living, Columbia Ventures, and Nvision Development.

WPC's core offerings span General Contracting, Renovations, Pre-Construction Services, and Construction Management, supported by dedicated Safety and Sustainability practices (including LEED credentialing across roughly one-third of project managers and superintendents and Platinum STEP safety designation). The technology stack is conventional for the sector: Procore for project management, submittals, and RFIs, integrated with Outbuild for construction scheduling and field lookaheads. The firm holds no patents or proprietary software; its differentiation rests on people, processes (Value Engineering, Constructability Philosophy, sophisticated scheduling), and brand reputation rather than technology.

WPC earns revenue through project-based general contracting contracts, with project values disclosed to range from approximately $1.45 million to $130 million; pricing is not publicly posted and varies by scope. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with over 80% of projects sourced from repeat clients and direct enterprise engagement with developers, architects, municipalities, and property owners. Distribution extends beyond Central Florida via an eight-company national construction alliance. In 2025 WPC spun out Euforria as an independent construction management entity to extend reach into an expanded addressable market.
