Who we are

A builder, a brokerage, and a balance sheet — under one roof.

Pelican Vista Homes is the build arm of a family of companies designed to remove friction from owning a custom home on Florida's Gulf Coast. We design, engineer, and construct residences in Cape Coral that are dressed for the climate and made to last beyond it.

Whether you're buying a finished spec, building custom on land we'll help you acquire, or partnering with us on a project, you work with a single team — one that has built every house we've sold and stands behind every drawing we've stamped.

How we work together

Three ways into a Pelican Vista home.

There's no single right way to start. The pathway depends on whether you already own land, want help finding the right lot, or want a finished home you can close on today.

— Pathway 01

Custom build on your lot.

You own the land. We bring the architecture, the engineering, the trades, and the project management. Designed to your spec, drawn by our team, stamped by our PE, built by our crews.

  • Architectural & structural design in-house
  • Engineered for 160 MPH wind exposure B
  • Hurricane-impact glazing throughout
  • Fixed-price contracts with milestone draws
— Pathway 02

A signature model, built to your taste.

The Sunset and Pelican models are our most-refined floor plans — proven layouts you can customize with materials, finishes, and exterior options. Faster to permit, faster to close, fully personalized.

  • Two thoughtfully-engineered plans
  • Curated finish packages or full customization
  • Build on your lot — or one we'll source
  • Available as spec or contract-build
— Pathway 03

We find the right lot for you.

Through Pelican Vista Realty, we represent buyers across Cape Coral with a builder's eye — checking soil, setbacks, drainage, Gulf access, and resale before you commit. Then we build on it.

  • Lot screening with engineering due diligence
  • Gulf-access & seawall expertise
  • Off-market and assemblage opportunities
  • One contact through close + build + warranty
Signature models

Two floor plans, refined over many homes.

Every plan we draw earns its keep. These two are the ones we keep coming back to — open-concept living, coffered great rooms, generous lanais with outdoor kitchens, and primary suites that read more like resort retreats than back bedrooms.

The Sunset Sunset Model — front elevation at dusk
Model One · The Sunset

Sunset Model.

Open-plan coastal contemporary for families who entertain.

A wide single-story plan that opens through a coffered great room out to a covered lanai, complete with full outdoor kitchen. Four bedrooms, three full baths, dedicated dining, walk-in pantry, and a three-car garage. The primary suite anchors one wing with twin walk-ins and a separated wet-room bath.

Floor Plan · The Sunset

An entertainer's geometry.

Every line of sight ends at the lanai.

The Sunset is built around its great room — a generous central space that reads through to the dining room on one side, the kitchen on the other, and out to the lanai. The primary wing anchors the west end of the home with two walk-in closets and a separated wet-room bath; the secondary bedrooms cluster on the opposite side, giving the floor plan an actual sense of privacy at scale.

Model Two · The Pelican

Pelican Model.

A slightly larger sibling, with more room to host.

A close relative of the Sunset with a bit more square footage to work with — 2,316 sf of living plus a wider entry experience, expanded foyer, and the same 13'-0" coffered great room. Best for buyers who want the Sunset's plan but a touch more breathing room. Tile roof option, glass garage doors, premium-grade finish packages available.

For investors, brokers, and builder partners

Most builders only sell homes.
We also sell seats at the table.

Pelican Vista Holdings is the capital arm of the group, and we structure deals with private investors, lot suppliers, brokerage co-listing partners, and other builders who want exposure to Cape Coral's growth without running their own crews. If you have capital, land, distribution, or a complementary trade — there's a way to plug in.

01

Spec home investors.

Fund the construction of an in-progress or planned spec home and share in the upside at closing. Underwritten against comparable trailing sales, structured as a senior or pari-passu position depending on size. Typical hold: 9–14 months.

Accredited individuals · family offices
02

Lot owners & land partners.

Already own a Cape Coral lot you'd rather not develop yourself? We'll contribute the build in exchange for an equity stake, or buy outright with a delayed close so your basis carries less risk. Gulf access and dry lots both considered.

Lot bankers · long-term holders
03

Builders & trade partners.

If you build elsewhere in Florida and want to enter Cape Coral without setting up local crews, we license our plans, project-manage on the ground, and split margin. Same applies to specialty trades looking for steady volume across the cohort.

Out-of-market builders · trades
04

Brokers & co-listing.

Pelican Vista Realty co-lists with outside brokerages on our spec inventory and offers a structured referral program for buyer's agents bringing custom-build clients. Standard splits, prompt payment, transparent communications.

Licensed FL agents & teams
05

Family offices & fund LPs.

For larger commitments we'll structure pooled vehicles across a cohort of homes — typically 6–12 residences delivered over 18 months. Reporting, projected IRRs, and underwriting deck available under NDA.

$1M+ allocations
06

Owners-to-be in another life.

If you'd love a Pelican Vista home but the timing isn't right yet, our investor track lets you put capital to work in our homes today and roll into a residence of your own when ready — your equity becomes part of your down payment.
