BUILDING A REPUTATION FOR QUALITY SINCE 1983!
Craftsmanship and building design have been family dinner
table conversation for as long as Bill Handler can remember.
A long-time builder and developer
of shopping centers throughout
the southern United States, Dan
Handler would often end his day
recounting his experiences with
his family.
The GHO Homes story officially
begins in 1983 when Dan decided
to use his extensive knowledge of
the construction business to expand Florida market. Bill seized on this
into residential construction with
the founding of GHO Homes.
The company grew steadily in
the years that followed, building
projects from Sunrise to Daytona
Beach, and the torch was passed in
2000 when Dan Handler put his son
Bill in charge of the next generation
of GHO Homes.
Bill’s credentials brought tremen-
dous momentum to the GHO family
management team. After graduat-
ing with honors from the University
of Florida with a degree in building
construction, Bill went on to earn
his law degree from the Universi-
ty of Florida and also became a
licensed contractor. These accred-
itations allowed him to combine
practical “hands-on” experience
with the knowledge and business
acumen necessary to successfully
guide the company.
GHO Homes was acknowledged
as one of the fastest growing
2 3
homebuilders in the nation in
2004 and 2005, an achievement
which brought the company to
the attention of a national build-
er looking to enter the southeast
Florida market. Woodside Homes
eventually acquired GHO Homes
and Bill was retained to manage
local operations - a position he held
until Woodside decided to exit the
downsizing opportunity to purchase
the remaining Woodside assets and
begin the current iteration of GHO
Homes Corporation.
GHO Homes has continued to raise
the bar for teamwork and efficiency,
the cornerstones of the company’s
success and two areas of expertise
that led to the creation of the GHO
Tailor-Made program. This program
sets GHO apart from it’s compet-
itors by allowing home buyers to
customize their homes with nu-
merous plan options, built-ins and
upgrades that exceed industry stan-
dards and result in custom, one-of-
a-kind homes at a value balanced
to their needs. The large number of
repeat GHO home buyers confirms
that the Tailor-Made program is a
resounding success with customers.
GHO Homes’ proudly boasts a
distinctive and diverse floor plan
collection that has consistently won
awards and accolades through the
years for townhome, single-family
