From Finfrock
In Summary:
FINFROCK is marking its 80th anniversary, celebrating a legacy that began in 1945 as a small concrete tile manufacturer and has grown into one of Central Florida’s most innovative and influential design-build firms. With a fully integrated approach that unites architecture, engineering, precast manufacturing, and construction, FINFROCK pioneered a building system that functions like Lego® for large-scale commercial projects—improving efficiency, lowering risk, and accelerating delivery. The company’s contributions are visible across the region through landmark developments, including parking structures, multifamily housing, hospitality destinations, and mixed-use centers such as Lake House Orlando, O-Town West’s City Center, and Universal Orlando’s Stella Nova and Terra Luna Resorts. As the company continues expanding its headquarters and manufacturing campus near Apopka and Lockhart, its next major project—the InterContinental Orlando hotel—is set to become an iconic addition to International Drive. Looking ahead, FINFROCK remains committed to growth, innovation, and strengthening Central Florida’s built environment for decades to come.
FINFROCK, one of Central Florida’s longest-standing and most innovative construction firms, is celebrating its 80th anniversary—a milestone that reflects eight decades of innovation, family leadership, and transformative projects that continue to shape the region’s skyline.

For eight decades, FINFROCK has played a central role in shaping Central Florida’s built environment. What started in 1945 as a small manufacturer of concrete floor and roof tiles has evolved into a vertically integrated design-build powerhouse —combining architecture, engineering, precast concrete manufacturing, and construction services under one roof. FINFROCK’s building system works much like Lego® for the commercial construction world—every piece is designed and produced in-house to fit together exactly as intended.
Its headquarters and manufacturing campus sit just north of Orlando, between the communities of Lockhart and Apopka, where the company continues to expand firm operations and workforce opportunities.
From its early days producing utilitarian concrete elements, FINFROCK steadily expanded into parking garage design and delivery, ultimately becoming one of the most trusted precast structural specialists in the Southeast. That spirit of innovation continued as the company began designing and building some of Florida’s most recognizable commercial, multifamily, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.
Today, that legacy is visible across Central Florida. The company has designed and constructed large-scale landmark developments, including luxury multifamily apartments, Lake House Orlando, the mixed-use City Center at O-Town West, and most recently, Universal Orlando’s Stella Nova and Terra Luna Resorts.
The company’s approach has helped set new standards in efficiency and cost control, enabling developers to bring complex projects to market faster and with greater predictability. FINFROCK’s innovations, such as the DualDeck® Building System, reflect its long-standing focus on reducing risk and improving the building process.
The company’s next major milestone is already underway: InterContinental Orlando, a flagship luxury hotel from Unicorp National Developments, Inc., which FINFROCK is designing and building using its fully integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct® model. The InterContinental will become one of International Drive’s most iconic hospitality destinations and another example of how FINFROCK continues to push boundaries in architectural precast design.
As it marks 80 years, FINFROCK remains focused on future growth, expanded project capabilities, and its ongoing role in supporting Central Florida’s development. Company leadership expresses deep appreciation for the clients, partners, and employees who have contributed to its success over the past eight decades and looks forward to continuing its legacy of innovation in the years ahead.
