Meet The Builder

David C. Hunihan and his wife Lauren currently live in Bradenton with their three daughters. Originally from New Jersey, this Boston College graduate moved to the Gulf Coast in 1991, and has been in the home building industry ever since.

 
David has been recognized locally for his early success. In 1999, he was named to the Gulf Coast Business Review's "40-under-40" list, honoring him as one of the best and brightest people under age 40 in the area. In 2001 the Business Journal serving Greater Tampa Bay also named him to its "40-under-40" list.
