Multicon Construction Co., based in Florida, has a rich legacy dating back to 1962, when it was originally founded in Columbus, Ohio. Initially established by John W. Kessler, Peter Edwards, and John B. Deinhardt, the company made a significant impact by developing over 14,000 rental apartments across major cities in the eastern United States between 1962 and 1969. After a transition period, Multicon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel and expanded its projects to Florida, laying the foundation for what would evolve into a strong presence in the state.
Over the years, the firm gained recognition for its ability to oversee distressed properties, serving major financial institutions in marketing and revitalizing projects during the 1970s and 1980s. The company’s reputation for integrity and success was further solidified with projects like Inverness Village and Coral Lake Towers, showcasing Multicon's skills in turnaround marketing and management.
Under the leadership of John C. Deinhardt, who has over 40 years of experience in architecture, development, and construction, Multicon continues to thrive. Today, the company specializes in general construction, remodeling, roofing, owners’ representation, project management, and development investment. They undertake diverse projects ranging from minor renovations to large-scale developments, exhibiting a commitment to quality and client satisfaction.
Multicon is also addressing the growing demand for affordable housing in Central Florida, particularly in response to post-hurricane crises. By sourcing developable land and exploring innovative solutions for housing, Multicon showcases its adaptive approach to meet market needs. With a strong commitment to its heritage of excellence, Multicon Construction Co. is well-positioned to shape the future of construction in Florida, continuing the legacy of building and community development that has defined its history.
