The Middle Bay StoryHigh-quality, fairly priced, built with care

Middle Bay was founded by Cory Frier and Will Daniel to answer a gap they kept seeing in the Tampa market: families paying luxury prices for homes that weren't built with care or integrity. With 50 years of combined experience, they build homes worth the price — and put their names and licenses on every one.

Building Easier® is the operating idea behind all of it. Construction is unnecessarily hard — for homeowners and for the people doing the work. Middle Bay makes it easier: one team from architecture to keys, exact specifications, weekly walk-throughs, and a schedule we actually keep. Both founders are active in the community and committed to keeping Tampa Bay a place worth building in.
