ORLANDO, Fla. - Henin Signature Homes, which builds luxury custom homes at Riviera Bella on the St. John’s River in DeBary, plans to build smaller, smarter luxury custom homes that offer greater energy efficiency, more luxury lifestyle and lower pricing.

Grubb & Ellis|Commercial Florida Eyes Big Growth in Tax Advisory Work for Commercial Property Owners
MELBOURNE, Fla. - Grubb & EllisCommercial Florida, which ranks as one of Florida’s most active commercial property firms, sees tax advisory work as a major growth center.
Jeff Sweeney, SIOR, president of Grubb & EllisCommercial Florida, with offices in Melbourne, Orlando and Tampa, said work for the firm‘s Tax Advisory Group has grown by more than 100 percent over the past six months.
Earlier this year Sweeney appointed tax specialist Don Lombardi director of Tax Assessment Services to head the division in the firm’s Tampa office.
Brett Felberg serves as associate director of Tax Assessment Services in Orlando and Melbourne.
“We have saved our commercial property clients literally thousands of dollars by addressing their tax valuations,” Sweeney said. “Property values have declined across the board due to the recession, but many local government agencies have failed to adjust their assessments accordingly,” Sweeney said.
“In addition, a myriad of tax incentives, benefits and deferments are available to commercial property owners who, for example, retrofit their properties to reduce energy consumption,” Sweeney explained.
“We see this as a major growth market for our firm over the next 24 months,” he said.
Sweeney said the Grubb & EllisCommercial Florida Tax Assessment Group serves commercial property clients throughout the state of Florida.
