The Team
Andy Launched Corner Lot Properties in 2009 where he quickly became the largest real estate investor in Northeast Florida, showing over $500 million of residential real estate transactions to include acquisition, rehabilitation, and disposition. From 2011-2014, Andy's companies facilitated over 3,000 homes for the country's largest residential REIT, American Homes 4 Rent (AH4R). His companies oversaw the brokerage, construction, and rental management for AH4R in Northeast Florida which became one of their top producing markets. He subsequently launched Heritage Holdings, his own residential portfolio of 1,100 single-family homes, one of the largest in Duval County. Andy formed Corner Lot (CL) in 2017 with his business partner, George Leone. Since then, CL has conducted the entitlement, permitting, or construction of over 3,000 lots for multiple national homebuilding companies. In 2018, they launched Breeze Homes, which prides itself on building over 100 attainable houses in Northeast Florida yearly. In 2019, they drove Corner Lot’s total capitalization to well over $1 billion by launching Corner Lot Living, a multi-family development platform currently developing over 1,000 apartment units annually. In 2023, Corner Lot helped launch First Coast Real Estate Partners, a premier ground-up multifamily fund platform, tailored to investors passionate about the growth of Jacksonville's First Coast. The Partnership seeks to foster quality, sustainable development for future businesses and residents, expand the markets of North Florida with innovative vision and leadership, and foster a foundation of long-term partnerships in investment, development, management, and financing
He was included in Jacksonville Business Journal’s 40 under 40 in 2015 and was named a Top Entrepreneur by the Jacksonville Daily Record in 2022. In 2023, he was a finalist in Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year and a Jacksonville Business Journal's Ultimate CEO. Outside of real estate, Andy enjoys Jaguar football and is one of the top amateur golfers in Jacksonville. He cherishes spending time with his wife Kristen and his two children Ava and Payne. They’ve traveled much of the world together including falls in South America, a summer in Europe, a winter in Southeast Asia, and multiple trips to Scandanavia, home of he and Kristen's ancestors. On weekends, you can find Andy coaching baseball for his beloved Marlins or Jimis at the Hendricks Avenue Community Athletic Association. Coaching and growing his city are truly his passions!
In 2016, George launched Leone Development and quickly built a reputation for understanding development constraints, being solution-oriented, and building great teams for the successful execution of land development projects. George and Andy Allen partnered in 2017 to create Corner Lot. George's vision was for Corner Lot to be a multi-faceted and diverse development company. Over the years, Corner Lot has become a market leader across all aspects of real estate development including residential, commercial, multi-family, industrial development, and ground-up construction.
George is a member of the City of Jacksonville Joint Planning Committee and the Florida State College at Jacksonville Building Industrial Leadership Team. In addition, he supports and participates in a variety of professional organizations including the Northeast Florida Builders Association, the Urban Land Institute, The Jax Chamber, and Jax USA.
