Site Developer Named for Final Phase of Riviera Bella Community in DeBary, FL

Jerome Henin

 DeBary, FL – The Henin Group has retained Jon M. Hall Construction of Sanford  to handle site development in the final phase at Riviera Bella, a flourishing upscale new- home development along the St. Johns River in DeBary.

 The construction company will create the infrastructure for 153 new home sites in phase 9 that will mark the completion of the entire community’s 710 single-family homesites off Fort Florida Road, according to Developer Jerome Henin, president and CEO of The Henin Group.

 “We’re extremely happy with the reception the community has received from enthusiastic buyers,” Henin said. “According to D.R. Horton – the builder for phase eight – less than 16 available homesites remain there.

 Riviera Bella, DeBary, FL

”We also congratulate M/I Homes for their exceptional success in the previous phases of Riviera Bella and magnificent architectures."

 Henin said the company’s successful endeavors have put the projected sell-out of the total community more than two years ahead of projection. “We now expect everything to sell out by next year,”  he predicted.

  About the Developer: 

France native Jerome Henin, the founder and owner of several companies involved in real estate development and sales, has more than 30 years of experience in property development in Europe, Florida and Virginia. 

Entrance, Riviera Bella community, DeBary, FL
