Howard Torn Construction Associates, Inc. (HTCA), founded in 1954, has established a reputable presence in the South Florida construction industry, specializing in speculative building, tract building, and custom homes. From its inception, HTCA has played a significant role in the transformation of Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas, contributing to the region's notable growth over the past 50 years. The company was originally named 'Howard Torn General Contractor' and, over time, evolved into Howard Torn Construction Associates through strategic partnerships and leadership changes.
In 1983, key professionals Spiro Telegadis and Charles Mishner joined the company, further enhancing its capabilities. After the retirement of Howard Torn and Spiro Telegadis in 1999, Charles Mishner assumed the role of President and owner, ensuring that the company maintained its legacy of high-quality, detail-oriented construction.
HTCA not only focuses on residential projects but has also broadened its scope to include multimillion-dollar commercial-residential conversions and large-scale retrofitting projects. The company prides itself on fostering strong relationships with its clients, ensuring that each project is completed to the highest standards of style, comfort, and value.
With a dedicated team of project managers overseeing every stage of construction—from sales to customer service—HTCA prioritizes client satisfaction, a value that has earned them a solid reputation largely through word-of-mouth referrals. They continue to adapt and expand their services, offering expertise in construction consulting and management, as well as expert witness testimony.
As HTCA moves forward, they remain committed to providing superior construction services throughout Florida, reflecting their core principles of quality, integrity, and client-focused service.
