The Gentile Group

What The Gentile Group does

The Gentile Group, LLC is a family-owned real estate investment and development company established in 2003 and headquartered in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. The company acquires, develops, leases, and manages commercial (office and warehouse) and multi-family residential assets, with a stated geographic focus on the central Florida corridor from Tampa to Orlando. Its operational footprint was established by the August 2007 acquisition of eight properties from The Wyndham Organization, which also brought CFO Evelyn M. Hale into the business.

The company's revenue model combines rental income from owned and managed assets, proceeds from strategic asset dispositions, and a For Sale Product Development stream designed to capture immediate income and recycle capital as equity into portfolio acquisitions. Distribution is sales-led and direct: leasing is handled in-house (the company claims most leases are signed within one week and that it outperforms market vacancy on a per-square-foot basis), and growth has historically been funded internally with no disclosed institutional capital. Customer segments include commercial tenants, multi-family residents in the Greater Tampa Bay area, and real estate investors seeking value-add opportunities.

The Gentile Group is privately held by the Gentile family, led by Chairman and Founder Michael L. Gentile (35+ years of CRE and banking experience, $600M+ in projects) and President, CEO and Founder Michael B. Gentile (2013 Business Observer 40 under 40 honoree). The company also runs The Gentile Family Foundation, anchored by an annual charity golf tournament (Liberty Mutual Insurance Invitational at Innisbrook's Copperhead Course) supporting the Gift of Adoption Fund. No external investors, subsidiaries, technology platforms, AI capabilities, or app products are present in the source material.
