Masterfully Planned: Hurricane-Proof, Zero-Energy Homes on Florida's Coast

An hour outside Tampa on Florida’s hurricane-prone Gulf Coast, Hunters Point presents a bold new vision for sustainable housing. As the first community in the world to achieve LEED Zero Energy certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, it operates entirely on renewable energy. Solar panels and battery storage guarantee residents never face an energy bill, while the thick, super-insulated walls and other cutting-edge features provide the resilience needed to weather hurricanes.

Pioneering how communities can thrive amid escalating climate challenges, Hunters Point allows homeowners to live free from rising energy and insurance costs while enjoying the perks of coastal living.

Marshall Gobuty, the visionary entrepreneur and developer of Hunters Point, previously made his mark with his first master-planned community, Mirabella, the first to achieve LEED Platinum certification, one of the industry's highest sustainability honors.

Yet Marshall didn’t set out on this journey to save the planet — he saw it as smart business. And when business insight meets environmental responsibility, it sparks the kind of innovation that propels the low-carbon economy and makes Hunters Point supercool.
