ABOUT GDR DEVELOPMENT

A limited collection of rebuilt homes shaped directly by developer Gus Renny from concept through completion.

For more than twenty-eight years, Gus Renny and GDR Development have shaped South Florida real estate with intention, integrity, and thoughtful design. Gus Renny isn’t just a developer — he’s a recognized brand of prestige, known for projects ranging from the restoration of Miami’s historic Century Hotel to major successes in the consumer product space. His portfolio includes some of the most coveted homes across Southern Florida, backed by decades of experience overseeing acquisition, construction, development, and renovation. GDR brings that same expertise to every residence, honoring architectural character while elevating the way modern homes live.

How We Work

Respect for Character

We preserve defining architectural elements while upgrading systems and finishes. Every decision is made with respect for the home’s roots and the integrity of its surrounding neighborhood.

Built to Last

We reinforce foundations, improve circulation and natural light, and strengthen overall structure. This deliberate approach creates homes that feel grounded, balanced, and durable for generations.

Design with Purpose

Spaces are reimagined for modern living: efficient layouts, smart flow, and no wasted space. Materials and finishes are selected for comfort, longevity, and timeless appeal.

Hands-On Oversight

Gus remains personally involved in every phase of development, supported by a loyal team — never random rotating crews. This consistent oversight ensures clarity, cohesion, and craftsmanship from start to finish.

Trusted Partners in Design

GDR collaborates with respected specialists including designer Seneca Moss Reynolds of SMR Consulting, architect Kristin Kellogg of Smith Kellogg Architecture, and architect David J. Gengler of Gengler Architects, Inc. Their combined expertise in interiors, historic preservation, and classic South Florida architecture helps elevate every rebuild.
