Homebuilder's flexible model pays big dividends

Old meets new could be considered something of a motto for Daniel Wayne Homes. Over the past three decades, the Fort Myers-based custom homebuilder and developer has become known for its Old Florida-style homes.

“We build some other styles of homes, too, but we’ve stayed with the Old Florida style because we really like it,” Owner Dan Dodrill says. “It’s a timeless style of architecture. If you go to Naples, you can tell all of the subdivisions that were started and built in the late 1990s and early 2000s because they’re all Mediterranean.”
