Augusto J. Gil | Executive Board

Immediate Past President/Public Relations Chair

Gil Development

For the past 19 years, Augusto J. Gil has served as President of Gil Development Inc. and Gil Homes. Gil became president of his family owned and operated company in 1989 after attending the School of Architecture at the University of Miami. It was at this time that the company partnered with several businesses that were building home developments throughout Miami-Dade County. The success of these ventures positioned Gil Development to obtain home sales in average of $10 million per year. Through Gil’s leadership, the family business reached its goal of becoming a fully independent run company in 2000.

Gil Development is currently building commercial and residential developments throughout Miami-Dade County in the cities of Miami, Coral Gables and Hialeah as well as in Tampa, FL. From the success of projects like these, the company surpassed $20 million in sales this past year and is expected to obtain its goals in 2008.

Gil Homes and Gil Development have both received numerous awards from the Latin Builders Association (LBA) and the Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) for their community developments and model designs. The company has been a member of both prestigious associations for the past two decades. Gil has had the honor of serving on the LBA board of directors since 1989. In 2002, Gil was elected president-elect of the LBA and in October of 2004 he became the association’s president. He also holds a position with the BASF’s Community Affairs Committee.

Gil is dedicated in serving the Miami-Dade community. He has sat on the board of the Development Process Advisory Committee, which advises the Mayor and Miami-Dade County Commissioners on issues affecting the building industry. He also serves as a board member of the Beacon Council and Baptist Hospital Foundation Board. He has recently been appointed by Miami-Dade County Manager to sit on the Miami-Dade Community Affordable Housing Strategies Alliance Task Force and the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Customer Review Group.

In April of 2007 he was inducted into the Miami Dade Collage Hall of Fame for Urban Development.

Gil lives in Unincorporated Dade County with his wife Lisa and their six-year-old daughter Andrea.
