Akel Homes President Featured in The Builder’s Daily: Standing Out in South Florida’s Competitive Market

Palm Beach Gardens, FL; July 17, 2024 – Akel Homes, a prominent player in the South Florida new construction market, proudly announces that the company’s President, Alex Akel, has been featured in The Builder’s Daily. The Builder’s Daily is a data-driven media company dedicated to serving key stakeholders in the construction and real estate industry.

The feature article highlights Alex Akel’s commitment to the company’s promise of delivering an “unmatched” customer experience, especially during a time of market uncertainty. Akel Homes distinguishes itself through exceptional quality and service, emphasizing customer satisfaction and innovative practices.

“We are amongst the giants. Competing with them means our intangibles have to be extremely strong. We differentiate on quality and service,” said Alex Akel. “It’s all about forging your own brand. That takes a lot of time, and it’s not easy to do. Staying power is the great equalizer.”

Akel Homes is on track for significant growth, expanding from 70 homes at Solana Bay at Avenir in Palm Beach Gardens to 200-300 homes annually with the upcoming Sundance community in Port St. Lucie. The company’s substantial land pipeline, including over 8,000 home sites in Port St. Lucie alone, supports this ambitious growth plan.

“We invest a lot of time and money into every aspect of the home buying journey and how we can bring it to the next level,” Alex Akel told The Builder’s Daily. “I like to say we’re operating at a five-star hotel service level in homebuilding. That’s something that becomes very hard for your competition to replicate.”

Alex Akel’s strategic vision combines Old School values with New School capabilities, leveraging data, machine learning, and platform technologies to integrate manufacturing, real estate investment, and retail marketing and sales. This approach has earned Akel Homes a reputation for quality, transparency, and exceptional customer service.

The article also reflects on Alex Akel’s background, including his advanced degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and his extensive experience in the real estate development and home construction business.

Akel Homes’ commitment to overdelivering on their promise is a testament to their dedication to creating an exceptional homebuying experience, building long-term relationships with customers, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
