For more than a century, Barron Collier Companies has been a driving force behind Florida’s growth. What began in 1911 with the purchase of Useppa Island has grown into a legacy of innovation, infrastructure, and development that has shaped communities across the state.

From building the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades to bringing Collier County its first telephone service and newspaper, our founder Barron Gift Collier set the tone for bold moves that benefit generations. Today, we continue to carry that vision forward across real estate, agriculture, mineral management, and more — guided by a commitment to progress and stewardship.
