CC HOMES
Armando Codina and Jim Carr are visionary industry leaders who’ve spent the past four decades developing more than 15,000 homes and some of the most iconic commercial districts of South Florida.
For Carr, a new home is far more than simply four walls and a roof: A home is where memories are made, bonds are built and dreams are realized — a home is where life happens.
CC Homes understands that every home, every hope, every family is unique. With Codina and Carr at its helm, CC Homes delivers a next level home buying experience where customer care meets top quality design in everything we do.

Why build with CC Homes
You know it’s time for a new home. But not any home builder will do. You deserve a builder who is focused on your needs — your need for space, comfort, elegance and community. A builder who understands quality design and knows how to make it happen. A builder who respects the environment and appreciates the power of green technologies. A builder with decades of experience creating homes that last. A builder who thinks big, while always considering the finest details. A builder who believes that first-rate service is almost as important as long-lasting construction. At CC Homes, we help folks to feel at home long before they actually move in.
Design Studio
For far too long, new homes have been designed by everyone except for the folks who’ll actually live in them. But at CC Homes, we take an entirely different approach to homebuilding — one that places YOU at the heart of the experience. The key is CC Homes Design Studio, where all buyers are matched with a Design Expert skilled at delivering their ideal vision for living. Rather than take it upon us to select what every home will look like, we bring each customer into the process, so no two neighbor’s homes are alike.
Your home your way
Like a couture gown or Saville Row suit, the ideal home is designed for you — and you alone. CC Homes helps buyers create these homes. Our value lies in our individualized approach to homebuilding — which pairs decades of development with a focus on technology, nature and detail. CC Homes provides the expertise, while our Design Studio helps buyers realize their own aesthetic. From material selection and construction options — to an endless array of thoughtfully sourced finishes — we deliver homes that are truly bespoke from foundation to final touches.
Our Pledge
Healthy, energy-efficient, green design and construction are not just trends for CC Homes, they’re how we’ve done business for more than a decade. Green is Earth-conscious, green is sustainable, green reduces waste and conserves valuable resources. Green homes are safer, cleaner and built to last. Most crucially, green design improves the air, the water — the entire lives — of the families who call them home. From low-impact construction materials to energy-efficient appliances to oxygen-enriching landscaping, our home designs and neighborhoods are mindfully built for your health, wellness and longevity.
Community
CC Homes isn’t just one of South Florida’s leading homebuilders, it’s also one of the region’s leading landowners. With more than 75 years of combined development experience, Armando Codina, Jim Carr and Company create communities where top schools, enviable cultural attractions and sophisticated shopping effortlessly come together. Whether a young family or empty-nester — first-time buyer or second-home seekers — CC Homes develops entire destinations where art, design and dreams become real. At CC Homes, we don’t simply offer a lifestyle —we offer a true style for living.
