Palmwood Builders

The Palmwood legacy goes back to 1957, when founder Ralph S. Glover started building with the vision of creating Florida-style homes to accommodate the growing needs of Central Florida, as people discovered the unique beauty that Florida has to offer. In 1976, Stuart Glover, the second generation, added his strength to the company. He soon earned his State Certified Builder’s License and real estate broker’s license. Stuart took over management of Palmwood’s operations in 1989, with a vision to expand our area of service to include Citrus County. In the early 1990’s, Palmwood introduced the innovative Cabana design to the Nature Coast. This unique courtyard-style home "wowed" guests and quickly became a popular design to build, as well as a “must-see,” unforgettable experience to visit. Meanwhile, Palmwood continued the final development of Orchard Park, a neighborhood of 243 half acre lots in the heart of Spring Hill, Florida. In 2006, Christopher E. Glover, Stuart’s son, joined the company as Chief Operating Officer, leaving a successful career with Raymond James Financial to invest in the family heritage. Chris has been influential in injecting fresh vision to make Palmwood continue to stand out in the changing, competitive industry. Palmwood’s exciting legacy lives on. Since 1957, Palmwood has built a distinct and trusted name. Now with thousands of homes and numerous communities throughout the Nature Coast as a testament to our reputation.
