Who Actually Builds Them
Every townhome in this directory came from one of these builders. These are the names Kevin Freel has sold work from since Tampa townhomes started going up, what each one is known for, where they build, and what to ask before you sign anyone's contract.
The Short Version
Two Tampa townhomes on the same block, same price, same square footage, can be a very different ten-year ownership. The builder decides finish quality, warranty length, how calls get answered after you close, and how an upgrade conversation actually goes. Most Tampa townhome builders will not deal directly with a homeowner, which is a good reason to have an agent who already does.
Recent South Tampa new construction Kevin has sold or represented. Nothing here is a stock photo.
The Directory
Alphabetical except for the most active at the top. Everyone listed below has either built product Kevin has sold or dealt with his office on new sites.
Most prolific infill
Mobley is the most-named builder on this site. Custom homes with many floor plans tuned to small 50 by 100 Tampa infill lots, which is almost every Tampa Heights, Riverside Heights and inner South Tampa site. The standard plan is honest; most buyers add through the upgrade list.
Design-forward partners
Two partners who put real detail into every unit. Their modern farmhouse look is what buyers show Kevin in the "I want this" photo. Momentum built the four custom townhomes at 4324 W Gray Street in South Tampa.
South Tampa custom
Starling built 3223 W Paxton Avenue in South Tampa with BCL Homes, the newer end of what single-lot custom product looks like near Hyde Park Village. Kevin represented the seller on that one and ran both open houses.
Premium one-off builds
One of the most-mentioned builders on this site in its own right, and Starling’s partner on 3223 W Paxton Avenue. The right call for premium one-off builds near Hyde Park, Beach Park and Bayshore.
Modern on your lot
Modern-style builder who will build on your lot. The right call if you already own the land and want contemporary rather than modern farmhouse.
Boutique custom
Smaller-volume custom builder Kevin has written about on several South Tampa projects, including sophisticated pool homes with the owner's retreat on the first floor. A good fit when you want the custom look without the biggest-builder price tag.

The Conversation
The sales office is paid to answer the easy ones. These are the ones that save money.
In Context
Builder is one of six questions worth asking. The new Tampa townhomes directory covers the neighborhoods, the current project list with price bands and HOA, and the six other things worth checking before you sign. If you own the land and are wondering what a townhome builder would pay for it, start with what your lot is worth.
Let's Talk
Three on this list are opening lots in the next sixty days. One is quietly on a wait list. Kevin can tell you which, where, and whether it is worth the drive to see.
