GL Homes president Misha Ezratti reflected on a year of growth and gratitude, marking 2025 as a period of significant milestones in community development and philanthropy. The company completed new communities in Boca Raton and Naples, delivering hundreds of homes, and introduced a multigenerational living option at APEX at Avenir in Palm Beach Gardens. Responsible development remained a priority, with land donations for roadways and community spaces, preservation of natural landscapes, and incorporation of wellness-focused amenities such as walking trails. These efforts underscore the company's commitment to creating thriving communities under the shared vision of Misha Ezratti and his father, founder Itzhak Ezratti.
Misha Ezratti emphasized a culture of gratitude, crediting the hard work and collaboration of staff, trade partners, and communities for the company's success. He noted that integrity and service guide GL Homes' culture, and he expressed appreciation for the people behind the company's achievements. This appreciation extended to the company's philanthropic efforts, which remained central to its mission in 2025. GL Homes focused on breaking the cycle of homelessness, combating hunger, and supporting children and education. Through the CAN-tastic Competition, part of the Summer of Service initiative with the Harry Chapin Food Bank, employees collected 1,000 cans of food and made a donation to support hunger relief. Volunteers also worked with The Lord's Place to sponsor the Meal Mobile, providing more than 400 meals to individuals facing homelessness and food insecurity, along with essential services such as shelter assistance and hygiene resources.
During the holidays, GL Homes hosted a Thanksgiving celebration for 180 children at the Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach, featuring a meal prepared by Feeding South Florida and support from more than 10 employee volunteers. These initiatives reflect the company's focus on purpose-driven development and community impact. Looking ahead to 2026, Misha Ezratti's vision for GL Homes centers on continuing sustainability and purpose-driven development, with a strong focus on community impact and Florida real estate growth. The company plans to integrate wellness, design, and environmental stewardship into its developments, creating spaces where residents can thrive.
