Central Florida's 36 largest multifamily mortgage lenders
The 35 largest residential mortgage lenders in Central Florida originated more than $786 million in home purchase loans in 2024 The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 15 residential mortgage lenders are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 20 featured in the print edition. This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone. Information on The List was analyzed by ACBJ from HMDA-LAR data published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Figures include purchase loans originated in 2024 for residential properties — defined as buildings with four or fewer units — in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties. Only mortgages used for property purchases are included; refinance, home improvement, cash-out refinancing and other purposes are not included. Multifamily mortgages also are excluded from this analysis. The Orlando Business Journal could not independently verify information on the List. In case of ties, lenders are listed alphabetically.

Central Florida's 60 largest general contractors
The largest general contractors in Central Florida reported more than $6B in construction related local revenue from offices located in Central Florida. The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 40 general contractors are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 20 featured in this week's print edition. This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone. Information on The List was obtained through Orlando Business Journal research or supplied by individual firms through questionnaires that OBJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, firms are ranked by total employment and then listed alphabetically if ties remain. Additionally, companies that did not respond to employment surveys but were still included on this year's List are sorted by estimated total employment figures derived from Orlando Business Journal archives; annual filings with the U.S. Department of Labor; and other firm-specific resources.
