A win for sustainability is in the books after Bradenton-based Pearl Homes was recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council as a 2023 LEED Power Builder for building a community that developer Marshall Gobuty believes will soon set the standard for sustainability in the homebuilding industry. 

The recognition comes a few years after that community — Hunters Point — was just getting started. Gobuty, president and founder of Pearl Homes, and his team started working on Hunters Point in Cortez, an Old Florida fishing village in west Manatee County off of Sarasota Bay, in 2017. The 86-home community, with homes ranging in price from $1.49 million to $1.89 million, generates more energy than is consumed.
