November 21, 2005 NAPLES, FLA. Whether they deliver thousands of dictionaries, build Habitat for Humanity homes, award scholarships to teachers and students, provide supplies to area classrooms, support construction academies and the St. Matthews House, Gulfstream Homes’ founders and employees work together to make all of this happen.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Leadership Council for National Philanthropy Day in Southwest Florida has named Gulfstream Homes the Outstanding Small Business in Collier County. The Naples-based builder is one of 10 companies/individuals selected in Collier and Lee counties.

“We truly appreciate the recognition for our efforts, but the credit really goes to our employees, who together have made all of this possible for us to contribute to our community on many different levels,” said Michael Peel, co-founder, Gulfstream Homes.

“When we started this company six years ago, we wanted to not only build exceptional homes, but also give back to the community. Southwest Florida is where we work and where we live,” added Steve Peel, co-founder, Gulfstream Homes.

Gulfstream Homes has built hundreds of homes over the years, either on individual homesites or within master-planned communities throughout Southwest Florida. The company has been recognized locally, regionally and nationally for its work ethics, dedication to Green Building and excellence for the homes they build.
