HBL partners with impact investors and municipalities to design, build, and manage workforce housing.

We design and build as long-term owners, and are committed to developing 5,000 units of attainable workforce housing in the southeastern U.S. by 2028. This isn't just a goal—it's our response to the workforce housing crisis facing communities across Florida and beyond.

Founded in 2024, HBL has $140M in projects under development, totaling 650+ units across three cities. Through our vertically integrated model—spanning land acquisition, architecture, construction, and property management—we maintain control of quality and costs at every stage. This allows us to offer rents at 80% AMI while still delivering 2x returns to our impact investors within 7 years.

We focus on creating housing solutions that serve communities while building sustainable, long-term value. Every HBL property is designed for the teachers, healthcare workers, and service professionals who form the backbone of thriving cities. By combining transit-oriented development, shared amenities, and efficient design, we're proving that workforce housing can be both financially successful and transformative for communities.
