A fourth-generation family firm building custom homes, oceanfront and Intracoastal residences, and the mixed-use blocks that bring downtowns back to life.
The Diamond family has been building and developing since 1909. Diamond Brothers, Inc. was established in Florida in 1981 and has built custom homes, oceanfront and Intracoastal residences, country club community homes and mixed-use projects across the state ever since.
Square footage and home counts describe the combined work of Diamond Brothers, Inc. and the family's related building firms.
From drawing to built
A curved two-storey home on the Intracoastal Waterway, published by the firm with its own drawing set. Drag the divider to compare the finished residence, seen across the pool, with its east elevation.
Waterfront residences
Acquiring oceanfront and Intracoastal estate properties has allowed the firm to design, develop and deliver residences planned around the water on every side: point lots, deep-water docks and terraces that meet the seawall.
Oceanfront development
In the late 1990s the firm followed its instinct to the water and developed two oceanfront estate enclaves in Delray Beach. For one, it purchased an oceanfront hotel, designed the site, obtained entitlements, and built and delivered seven oceanfront homes.
Civic and mixed use
Chosen by the City of Palatka to design, develop and build the River Center, a museum and town center funded through a joint venture between the City and Georgia-Pacific. In 2014 the firm also acquired four abandoned downtown buildings dating from 1885 to 1916 and converted them to shops, offices and student housing.
Documented project locations, from Northeast Florida's river towns to the Southeast coast.
Ocean and Intracoastal estate residences and country club community homes are across Southeast Florida; individual addresses are not published.
Four kinds of work, each shaped by the same conviction: knowledge of every phase of the industry, from site to financing to construction, is what separates success from failure.
Residences from 2,200 to 24,000 square feet, planned around the site and the people who will live there, whether you arrive with an architect and drawings or with a lot and an idea.
