Custom Luxury Homes in Stuart & Martin County
Stuart sits at the center of Martin County’s luxury residential market, with a mix of waterfront properties, barrier island homes, and gated communities. Each environment comes with different permitting requirements, elevation considerations, and construction constraints that must be accounted for early in the process.
We have built homes along the Loxahatchee River, on Hutchinson Island, and within communities such as Sailfish Point. These projects reflect our familiarity with local codes, site conditions, and the expectations of both homeowners and design teams in this market.

Why Martin County Architects & Homeowners Choose First Florida
We are trusted by architects and designers working in Martin County, both locally and internationally, to execute complex residential projects. Our team executes the plan while protecting the integrity of the design at every phase. When challenges arise, we provide solutions that support both the design intent and the build.
Our clients are often experienced homeowners who understand the difference between a well-managed project and one that is not. They choose First Florida for the structure, communication, and consistency we bring to each build.
When Sharon and I left California to build our dream home in Stuart, our biggest worry was finding a building contractor we could trust. With the help of our local real estate agent Mike Galleher, we were put in contact with Paul Kleinfeld and his team at First Florida. On all fronts, we would rate our experience with First Florida a ten out of ten. When our first and favorite house design priced out well above budget, Paul and his team led the way in value engineering the project back to budget while still realizing the core of our design vision. After breaking ground, First Florida staff was on-site every day working with all of the vital subcontractors and craftsmen. Most weekends saw work taking place at the job site. Even though the week of Hurricane Irma the project was only stopped for a few days before ramping back to full speed. The First Florida back office team is tops as well. Changes in orders were handled quickly and effectively. Project billing was clear, timely, and easy to understand. In the end, we got the house of our dreams, one we feel is truly a landmark home in Stuart, on budget and ahead of schedule! Even today, seven months after we got the keys, the First Florida team is always there promptly to address even the smallest of items that might crop up. We couldn't be more happy with the result, and we would recommend First Florida to anyone looking to build their own dream home!

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of Martin County does First Florida serve?
We build and renovate throughout Martin County, including Stuart, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Sewall’s Point, Hutchinson Island, and Sailfish Point. Our Stuart office gives us direct access to the local building environment, trade partners, and municipalities across the county.
Do you build waterfront homes on the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon?
Yes. Waterfront and riverfront construction is a core part of our Martin County practice. We have built homes along the St. Lucie River, the Loxahatchee River, and the Indian River Lagoon. Each project accounts for elevation requirements, seawall conditions, dock and lift integration, and the specific permitting considerations that come with waterfront properties.
Do you build within Sailfish Point?
Yes. We have built and renovated custom homes within Sailfish Point and understand the community’s architectural review board standards, construction access requirements, and the unique site conditions that come with building on a barrier island. Our familiarity with Sailfish Point allows projects to move through approvals and construction efficiently.
How do Martin County building codes differ from Palm Beach County?
Martin County has its own permitting processes, setback requirements, elevation standards, and environmental regulations that differ from neighboring counties. Our Stuart office and our decades of experience building here mean we manage these requirements as a routine part of every project, keeping approvals and construction on schedule.
We are relocating to Martin County from out of state. Can you manage the entire process?
Yes. Many of our Martin County clients relocate from other states. We can begin working with you before you arrive, evaluating properties, coordinating with your architect, and managing pre-construction. Each project includes a dedicated project manager who provides regular updates, documentation, and milestone walkthroughs so you stay fully informed regardless of where you are during construction.
