Foshee Construction is performing the civil work for a new multi-family project located in Clermont, Florida. The project broke ground in the fall of 2023 and consisted of 114,192 SF of residences and is expected to be complete late 2025.

End Purpose or Community Impact

→ Why does this project matter? Who benefits? This was a high-end project and it’s going to be expensive to live here, so not sure how to “benefit” that other than to wealthy folks (which we do not want to say that of course), the only benefit is that Clermont needs housing, which this will provide.

Key Challenges and Solutions

→ More detail about how you overcame topography and retaining wall issues. Did you use any unique engineering methods or sequencing? Not really, just good ole fashioned dirt moving and proper scheduling.

Team or Subcontractor Collaboration

→ Any partners or subs involved? Did collaboration play a role in the success? We did have subcontractors, but again I would not list them as our competitors will steal them away . Subs were just on Asphalt paving, sidewalks and curbing.
