SUNRISE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 8, 2025 /Nearly fifty years after founding GL Homes, Chairman Itzhak Ezratti is reflecting on a milestone few business leaders reach: guiding a company that has not only endured, but continued to grow and influence an entire industry.

Since its founding, GL Homes has become one of Florida 's leading homebuilders, known for quality craftsmanship and thoughtfully planned communities. Ezratti attributes that longevity to a clear and consistent vision rooted in integrity, trust, and a people-first approach.

A Vision Shaped by People and Purpose

When Itzhak Ezratti established GL Homes, he believed that successful homebuilding required more than constructing houses. It meant creating neighborhoods where families could thrive. From early projects to large-scale master-planned communities, GL Homes developments have emphasized high quality, luxury new homes and resort-style amenities that bring residents together.

This commitment to lifestyle and livability helped set the company apart and shaped the standards for residential development across Florida.

A Leadership Legacy Built on Integrity

For Ezratti, long-term success has always been grounded in building relationships - among homebuyers, employees, and the communities GL Homes serves. His approach ensures that every buyer receives support throughout the process and that each community reflects the company 's founding values.

That same philosophy extends to GL Homes ' charitable initiatives, partnering with many local organizations with a focus on breaking the cycle of homelessness, providing hunger relief, and supporting youth and families in need. Under Ezratti 's leadership, philanthropy has become a natural extension of the company 's mission.

A New Generation Continues the Mission

In recent years, Itzhak Ezratti transitioned the role of president to his son, Misha Ezratti, marking a new chapter for the family-led company. Misha continues to advance GL Homes ' commitment to quality, innovation, and responsible growth while honoring the principles established nearly five decades ago.

Together, father and son are ensuring that GL Homes remains focused on building enduring communities and enriching the lives of Florida families.

Looking Ahead

As Florida continues to grow, Ezratti remains committed to evolving the company with the state 's needs, integrating thoughtful design, modern amenities, and a continued focus on community connection. His long-held belief still guides the organization today: It 's about more than homes. It 's about the lives lived within them.
