From the Ground Up

CornerStone Homes has established itself within Northeast Florida's highly competitive housing market as a locally owned and operated new home builder of quality-crafted, one-of-a-kind homes. Led by a high-energy Managing Partner, CornerStone has set the performance bar high and placed customer satisfaction at the forefront in charting phenomenal growth.

The award-winning CornerStone Homes builds new homes in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fleming Island, Green Cove Springs and Orange Park, Florida with outstanding quality craftsmanship and incomparable customer service. The company has received accolades, honors and high ratings for its excellence in homebuilding and customer satisfaction. In their First Quarter 2010 third-party surveys, 100 percent of the company's customers said they would enthusiastically recommend the homebuilder to others, and 1 out of 2 customers had been referred by previous clients!

The vision for Downing is clear cut: build top-quality homes in communities where people prefer to live. This is CornerStone's passion; smiling, satisfied customers are their rewards. Looking towards the future, CornerStone Homes will continue to focus on building homes the right way, taking care of their homebuyers' needs and desires, and exceeding their customer's expectations.

CornerStone Homes is building new homes in Northeast Florida's finest neighborhoods, including Austin Park at Nocatee, Palencia, Payasada, GroveWood at World Golf Village, Kensington, MuraBella, RiverTown, Hunter Oaks, Doctors Inlet Reserve, Eagle Harbor, Eagle Landing and Rolling Hills. In addition, CornerStone Homes builds on privately owned homesites, from $61 per square-foot.

The CornerStone Difference
A trusted local builder with the ability to personally meet you, answer your questions, make changes to your floor plan and provide you with valuable years of experience... that's just a few of the CornerStone Differences.

From the ground up, before your home is even constructed, you will meet with your onsite home counselor and Mark Downing, owner and Managing Partner with over 30 years experience in home building. In a friendly, professional atmosphere, together you will review your blue prints, discuss the construction stages, get answers to important questions and learn what you can expect when building with CornerStone Homes.

CornerStone floor plans showcase distinctive architectural styles, open spaces and energy efficient features including Low-E windows, GE Energy Star appliances, and environmentally friendly materials. (Did you know that one in every four plastic bottles recycled in North America becomes CornerStone's Mohawk EverStrand carpet?) The plans also feature many versatile options for homebuyers who wish to customize the floor plan and personalize the home to best suit their lifestyle.

Our Personal Onsite Builder Program is among the top 10 percent in the country. With outstanding satisfaction results, as proven in our annual third-party surveys, CornerStone Homes makes customer service a priority, not a talking point.

Equally important to CornerStone Homes, our employees and Trade Partners is giving back in community service. From funding to organizing to volunteering, CornerStone staff and partners have been a part of numerous local charities, including Give Hope a Home with the Donna Deegan Breast Cancer Foundation, Daniel Memorial Orphanage, Builder's Care, First Coast CrimeStoppers, High School Athletics Departments, Habitat for Humanity, Womenade, Toys for Tots, and the Youth Crisis Center.
