of Florida’s leading general contracting and
land developing firms whose expertise has
been exacted over more than fifty years of
creating luxurious estates, beach front con-
dominiums, yacht clubs as well as a variety of
other commercial and industrial sites.
Karns development of the five-acre site
now graced by Brentwood at Fore Ranch
marked the company’s first foray into devel-

in assisted living and health services. Since
the opening of this Brentwood in Ocala,
Karns has been busily developing equally
distinctive sites that will open in the future,
such as the Brentwood at Wellington or the
planned Brentwood of St. Augustine. Fore

excellence in lifestyle and healthcare.
