Tallen Builders, LLC

What Tallen Builders, LLC does

Tallen Builders, LLC is a privately held, family-owned custom construction general contractor headquartered at 2531 NW 35th Street in Ocala, Florida (CGC#: 1517539). Founded approximately 40 years ago and operated by the Allen family (Steve Allen associated with the business via the [email protected] domain), the company serves Central and North Central Florida markets across five integrated service lines: Luxury Home Building, Commercial Construction, Equine Facilities, Tenant Build-Out, and Design Build. The operating model is design-build, with Tallen collaborating alongside clients, architects, interior designers, and engineering consultants from concept through completion, including pre-construction planning, site preparation, MEP rough-ins, and interior/exterior finishing. No proprietary technology platform has been disclosed; delivery relies on traditional construction techniques and a dedicated on-site superintendent model.

The customer portfolio is diversified across verticals. Documented projects include a 12,000 sq ft luxury residence (Harlow Residence), a 40,000+ sq ft Animal Hospital at the World Equestrian Center, an 8,944 sq ft restaurant (Cody's Original Roadhouse in Mulberry), a 5,700 sq ft surgery facility for the Marion County Humane Society, the renovation of a 1928-era Belleview City Hall, a 10,117 sq ft Belleview Police Department expansion, school builds including a 7,000 sq ft lunch patio at Dunnellon High School and a Cornerstone School STEM/2019-2020 addition, a 1,200+ sq ft Katya Vineyards tasting room remodel in downtown Ocala, and a 4,000 sq ft Alarion Bank (now Renasant Bank) renovation in Heathbrook Shopping Plaza. The company is differentiated most clearly by specialized equine facility construction (barns, stables, indoor/outdoor arenas, equestrian complexes), leveraging Ocala's status as the heart of Florida's equestrian community.

Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts with custom, quote-driven pricing; each project is priced individually based on client requirements, design specifications, materials, and scope. Contract durations are multi-year. Customer acquisition is sales-led: direct outreach, competitive bidding, design-build collaboration, and referrals, supported by a content-driven website (portfolio, blog, testimonials) and social sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The company is independent: no parent, no subsidiaries, no disclosed institutional investment, and no headcount or financial figures are public.
