Rheace Contracting specializes in luxury residential developments across Palm Beach and Martin Counties, including custom estate projects, multi-home luxury subdivisions, and master-planned communities. All of our developments incorporate Nudura ICF construction systems for superior hurricane resilience, energy efficiency, and long-term value. Our projects range from exclusive oceanfront estate developments on Jupiter Island and Palm Beach to inland luxury subdivisions in Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, and Stuart. We focus exclusively on high-end residential projects where architectural sophistication meets advanced construction science, delivering communities that command premium pricing and attract discerning buyers seeking both luxury and structural integrity.
ICF construction with Nudura systems provides investors with significant competitive advantages and higher ROI in Florida's luxury real estate market. Properties built with ICF construction command premium pricing—typically 10-15% higher than traditional construction—due to superior hurricane protection, energy efficiency, and durability. Buyers in Palm Beach and Martin Counties increasingly demand homes that can withstand Category 5 hurricanes, and Nudura ICF delivers wind resistance up to 250 mph, far exceeding standard building codes. Additionally, ICF homes offer 40-60% lower energy costs and reduced insurance premiums, making them more attractive to high-net-worth buyers. For developers, this translates to faster sales cycles, higher profit margins, and enhanced brand reputation in South Florida's competitive luxury market.
Development timelines for luxury ICF projects vary based on scope and complexity, but Rheace Contracting provides realistic projections for strategic planning. Single luxury estate developments typically require 18-24 months from land acquisition through completion, including due diligence, permitting, Nudura ICF construction, and final finishing. Multi-home luxury subdivisions generally require 2-4 years depending on the number of homes, infrastructure requirements, and local permitting processes. Master-planned communities may extend beyond 4 years for larger-scale projects. The Nudura ICF construction phase itself is efficient—often faster than traditional framing—but we prioritize quality engineering, premium finishes, and regulatory compliance over rushed timelines. Our transparent project management ensures investors receive regular updates and understand milestone achievements throughout the development cycle.
Rheace Contracting maximizes development ROI through strategic site selection, premium ICF construction, and market-focused execution.

We collaborate with elite architects and engineers to create distinctive designs that appeal to luxury buyers, and our second-generation craftsmanship ensures superior quality that accelerates sales.

From land acquisition through final home sales, we deliver the specialized knowledge and execution that transforms development projects into high-performing investments.
Palm Beach and Martin Counties represent Florida's premier luxury real estate markets with exceptional development opportunities for ICF construction. These coastal communities attract high-net-worth buyers seeking hurricane-resilient homes, with median home prices significantly above state averages and strong appreciation trends. The region's strict building codes and hurricane exposure make Nudura ICF construction not just preferred but increasingly expected by sophisticated buyers. Jupiter Island, Palm Beach, and surrounding communities consistently rank among America's wealthiest zip codes, creating sustained demand for ultra-luxury properties. Additionally, the area's limited inventory of buildable waterfront and prime residential land ensures scarcity value for new developments. Our exclusive focus on these two counties gives us unparalleled expertise in local regulations, soil conditions, flood zones, and architectural review boards—knowledge that prevents costly delays and ensures developments meet the exacting standards of these exclusive communities.
