J-Milton
In 1963, a young Cuban architect and builder emigrated to Miami, determined to rebuild the successful contracting and real estate investment business he was forced to leave behind in his lost homeland. Beginning with small apartment buildings and dedicating himself to a pursuit of perfection that required him to "live and sleep with the business," José Milton rebuilt his real estate empire in Miami.
Today, J. Milton & Associates has developed and built over 50,000 rental units, more than $2 billion in condominium development and produces $200 million in annual gross income. By any measure, the Milton "family business" has become one of Miami's premier real estate companies, and it remains a closely held family-owned company. Joseph, Cecil and Frank Milton, José's sons, now manage the daily operation of all divisions, with Joseph serving as President and CEO. Under their leadership and the success of such landmark condominium properties as Sands Pointe, Pinnacle, King David, Sayan and St. Tropez, J. Milton & Associates has extended its reach to become the premier condominium developer in the Miami market.

The "live and sleep with the business" philosophy has not changed since the early days of the company, and the Milton hands-on style of attention to every detail remains the key to the company's continuing success.
