Recently, Hunters Point, located in Manatee County, stood as a beacon of resilience during Hurricane Milton, a storm that left surrounding areas in disarray. Fox Business' Mornings with Maria came to Cortez to interview founder Marshall Gobuty and tell the story about resilience.While neighboring communities suffered flooding, downed trees, and widespread power outages, Hunters Point homes remained untouched. Built at an elevated 7-foot foundation—well above the state's 3-foot requirement—these homes feature reinforced walls and a solar-powered energy system. This design not only kept residents safe and dry but also ensured uninterrupted power throughout the storm.Marshall is leading the charge of building resilient, eco-conscious living available to more people. Future projects include single-family rental communities, bringing this cutting-edge technology and design to a broader audience.Hunters Point is more than just a luxury community—it's a model for the future of real estate, where homes are built with sustainability and resilience in mind. As we face a changing climate, homes like these provide peace of mind, blending advanced technology with forward-thinking design.
