Highland Homes Honored as One of Tampa’s Fastest Growing Companies

Highland Homes was honored for the third year in a row as one of Tampa Bay’s fastest growing privately-owned companies at the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards luncheon, held on July 27, 2017.
We were pleasantly surprised to receive not just one, but two recognitions at this year’s event:
- No. 8 Fastest Growing Company in Tampa Bay based on Dollar Revenue Growth, with $43.19 million in revenue growth from 2014 to 2016
- No. 42 Fastest Growing Company in Tampa Bay based on Percentage of Revenue Growth, with 63.75% growth from 2014 to 2016
With more than two decades of experience building new homes in Tampa Bay and throughout Central Florida, we have worked hard to provide quality new homes, a superior customer experience, and to succeed through economic downturns. Gaining recognition at the Fast 50 awards for the third consecutive year is a great achievement!
The list’s rankings are based on revenue growth from 2014 to 2016 with financial information being verified by accounting firm Cherry Bekaert. To be considered for the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards, a company must be based in Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, or Sarasota County, have had three consecutive years of growth, and a minimum of $1 million in revenue in 2014.
We were just one of the few companies based in Polk County to make the list, and we’re honored to be recognized for our personal growth, as well as our contribution to the economic growth of Polk County and Tampa Bay.

Owner and President Bob Adams has been building homes in Tampa Bay for more than 45 years, and was a founding partner of Sun State Homes prior to founding Highland Homes in 1996. Longstanding relationships with local suppliers and construction subcontractors have contributed to his success and boosted the local economy.
Our experience shows through our perseverance, hard work, and accomplishments such as this one. As we continue to make the dream of homeownership a reality for Florida home buyers, provide excellent customer service, and maintain quality and value in our homes, we continue to stand out from the average homebuilder. We expect to keep growing throughout 2017 and help more than 700 homebuyers achieve the American dream of homeownership this year. At halfway through the year, we are right on track to see our goals come to fruition.
Highland Homes builds quality new homes in communities throughout Central, North Central, Southwest and Tampa Bay, Florida. Homes are priced from the mid-$100,000s to $300,000s with more than 40 home plans to choose from, in desirable neighborhoods offering everything from easy maintenance townhomes to luxurious estate homes.
