Land Entitlements
We navigate land use entitlements, the types of entitlements, the legal basis for entitlements and how cities/counties process various entitlement applications utilizing a very strategic process developed over the last 40 years.
Horizontal Infrastructure
The permitting and installation of horizontal infrastructure is critical to the full scale development of any project. The process is cumbersome with many moving parts whether dealing with the municipality or construction.
New Construction
With over 40 years of experience we have garnered a vast knowledge base and skill in creating custom architectural interiors, exteriors, work / living spaces and landscape designs. Attention to detail is our number one priority!

/ OUR STORY
OUR MISSION
The history of America evolved from a continuous migration to new areas of land. Such centers with numerous attractions for better living motivated people in the “New World” to relocate, often far from their existing homes, and still do. Those areas are always “New Frontiers” significantly motivated by easier access. The last such Frontier was and still is Florida, initially attracting Northeasterners via the new Florida East Coast Railroad built in the late 1800s by Henry Flagler, one of two original owners of Standard Oil with John D. Rockefeller. It still operates today. One might correctly define a “Frontier” as a place where capable entrepreneurs can create fortunes exponentially faster due to the demand for more of everything. The land has always been one of the few certain vessels of such wealth. Legacy Group’s owners have successfully taken advantage of this phenomenon in the real estate arena for over 40 years and continue to do so today, in Florida, America’s “Last Frontier.”

Mr. Hall has over 35 years of experience in the real estate business in Florida and elsewhere. After law school, he served honorably in the US Army from 1969-1971 during the Việt Nam War reaching the rank of Captain. Thereafter, he practiced law for 20 years investing in rental properties in South Florida beginning in 1976. That activity evolved into buying raw land and obtaining the entitlements for it to build new housing. In 2000, Mr. Hall created a new real estate company based in Jupiter, Florida, now known as Legacy Group, which has developed numerous projects for over 10,000 residential units and considerable commercial space, most of which were sold by 2006 for a substantial profit. Legacy Group has continued since then to successfully develop and manage additional promising real estate opportunities.
