Colen Built Development

The “Colen Built” legacy of building quality homes in exceptional communities that customers are proud to own lives on in every home we deliver. Just like it did when we started back in 1947. The passion for creativity in land development and home building flows in the Colen blood. Kenneth Colen, Sidney’s son, grew up in the business and since 1981, has served as President and Developer of all homebuilding operations. As a debt-free company we have the financial stability, and decades of family owned expertise, to deliver on our promise to build quality, energy-efficient homes in well-designed, amenity rich communities for years to come. Our management team has worked together for many years and we remain the oldest, privately owned land developer in the state of Florida. Colen Built Development is currently developing multiple projects in Ocala, FL including the premier 55+ active adult community of On Top of the World, a multigenerational community of Calesa Township, Ina A. Colen Academy public charter school, and FAST - Florida Aquatics Swimming & Training facility.
