Coastal Construction Group, one of the largest privately held construction companies in the Southeast, has announced a division within the highly experienced Multi-Family Housing sector that will focus on the needs of the South Florida community.
The division will work with local governments, municipalities, and developers on the construction of affordable housing, workforce housing, market-rate housing, affordable senior living and other similar development projects throughout South Florida. Coastal has appointed construction industry veteran Hernan Acurio to lead the Attainable Multi-Family Housing division.
Acurio is a graduate of Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and a Master of Science in Construction Management with more than a decade of construction experience where he managed, lead, and provided operational planning on projects.
Most recently, Acurio successfully completed HUD housing projects, where he oversaw day-to-day onsite project management while supporting and guiding construction teams to ensure success at all levels.
“Coastal is invested in hiring the most experienced in this market sector, and we are pleased to welcome Hernan to the team. By working with the most seasoned professionals, smarter building materials and processes, and new technology, we will be a part of the solution to better address the housing shortage,” said Tom C. Murphy, co-president, Coastal Construction Group.
With more than five decades of building in Florida, Coastal has long specialized in commercial, hospitality, single and multi-family residential, educational, and government-related facilities. Coastal’s expertise in the multi-family residential market, with almost 20,000 units of residential work across South Florida, allows the company to work closely with owners to achieve unique solutions to meeting budgets and schedules. The Attainable Multi-Family Housing division will allow the company to expand upon its experience in the attainable housing sector and play a pivotal role in addressing the housing crisis.
Coastal’s past attainable housing projects include Poinciana Village in Key West, Oasis and Shepherd’s Court in Miami, among others. Coastal currently is building Sawyers Walk in Miami’s Urban Core, an 18-story mixed-use project with 578 affordable studios and one and two-bedroom apartments reserved for low-income seniors developed by The Swerdlow Group and SJM Partners in collaboration with Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency.
“Working with Coastal Construction has been a wonderful experience for us. They are responsive to all of our needs,” said Nick Swerdlow, vice president of The Swerdlow Group.
