Founded in 1993 by Howard B. Lefkowitz,
Leeds Holdings Southeast Inc. was created to acquire and develop mixed-use residential properties.
Leeds Holdings has since become a leader in the industry,
having acquired land for 12 communities, ranging in size from 200 to 1200 units, providing for 5000 building lots, and 3 million square feet of commercial use property
Our success is the result of two operational philosophies. First, we build and maintain strong relationships with local entitling and jurisdictional agencies. This is done by:
Meeting with government staff and officials to ascertain issues, impacts, and local
needs
Requesting workshops and enlisting both staff and public input into the review
process
Assessing financial and growth impacts, and be willing to accept equitable responsibilities for
mitigation of those impacts
Addressing the entitlement process as a partnership with the existing community, with the goal of providing benefit to both
parties
Secondly, we use a market driven approach to land development. Our goal when creating a new
Leeds Holdings community is to offer more value than any existing or planned community within the defined marketplace. We accomplish this by:
Defining specific market needs
Assessing existing communities against market requirements and financial
viability
Creating a physical overview of the marketplace and analyzing statistical
trends
Interacting with local and national builders to gain direct input on market
composition
Analyzing local housing types and pricing targets to define lot product
allocations
By combining our innovative market driven approach with strong governmental interaction,
Leeds Holdings Southeast, Inc. has become a leading developer of residential and mixed-use communities in Central Florida.
