GTB Construction and Property Holdings LLC is a Florida-based real estate acquisition, development, and property investment company focused on value-add multifamily properties, residential development, redevelopment, and selected commercial real estate opportunities.

The company’s business model combines property acquisition and ownership with experienced construction and development capabilities. GTB works in coordination with GL Lewis Construction Services, a Florida-licensed general contractor, License No. CGC1528896. This relationship allows projects to be evaluated from both an investment and construction perspective, including acquisition analysis, due diligence, site and building evaluation, renovation planning, design-build coordination, permitting, construction management, stabilization, and long-term asset management.

A current project under evaluation is a 10-unit value-add multifamily property in DeLand, Florida, near Downtown DeLand and Stetson University. The existing income-producing property consists of two buildings constructed in 1927 with approximately 7,289 square feet of building area on approximately one-half acre. The property includes a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments and is currently operating as a rental property.

The business plan for the multifamily opportunity is based on completing comprehensive due diligence, evaluating the existing building systems and unit conditions, preparing a defined renovation scope and construction budget, completing appropriate improvements, improving property operations where appropriate, and positioning the asset for long-term ownership, refinancing, or sale based on future market conditions. Because of the age of the buildings, the final renovation scope will be established through inspections, document review, contractor evaluation, and the due diligence process.

GL Lewis Construction Services will support the project by preparing construction cost information, renovation scopes, project schedules, permitting requirements, and construction management planning. This integrated approach is intended to provide greater control over project evaluation and execution than a structure that relies entirely on unrelated third-party contractors.

In addition to the current multifamily acquisition opportunity, the company is developing and evaluating a pipeline of Florida real estate projects. These include a company-owned duplex development property at 345 E. Church Street in DeLand; land development and redevelopment opportunities in DeLand; company-owned property in Titusville, Florida; additional residential and multifamily development opportunities; and selected commercial and mixed-use projects.

The company’s project strategy focuses on properties where value may be created through acquisition, renovation, redevelopment, entitlement, improved operations, new construction, or a combination of these activities. Projects are evaluated individually based on location, existing conditions, zoning and land-use requirements, construction feasibility, market demand, potential operating income, and available exit strategies.

Customers and end users vary by project and may include apartment residents, students, working professionals, families, residential tenants, commercial occupants, property owners, developers, and other real estate users. The company is particularly focused on Central Florida markets where population growth, housing demand, redevelopment activity, and the need for professionally managed construction and development services may create opportunities.

The management and project team combines real estate ownership, development planning, construction management, design-build coordination, renovation, permitting, and project execution experience. Gerald L. Lewis leads the company’s real estate and development activities and is associated with GL Lewis Construction Services, which has more than 25 years of construction and project experience.

GTB’s objective is to build a diversified portfolio of income-producing and development-stage real estate assets while maintaining direct involvement in property evaluation, construction planning, project management, and execution. The company evaluates opportunities on a project-by-project basis and seeks to work with qualified professionals, property owners, lenders, strategic partners, and private investors who share a long-term interest in real estate ownership and value creation.
