Vandercook joins KB Home with more than 30 years of residential
construction experience with national builders, including serving
as president of the Charlotte division for KB Home. Vandercook
holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction from
the University of Florida.
"We are very pleased to welcome back Fred to KB Home as head of
our Tampa team, and are confident that his experience and
demonstrated leadership will be a great asset to our business, as
we continue to focus on growth and open several new communities in
the region,” said Vince DePorre, Southeast regional president for
KB Home.
KB Home has been building in the Tampa and Southwest Florida
region since 2002 and has 10 communities currently open for new
home sales. Recent land acquisitions will allow KB Home to continue
to expand its regional presence, with several new home communities
expected to debut in 2018. These include Northgate, a 200-homesite
community located in Gibsonton; West Lake Reserve, a 42-homesite
community located in North Tampa; and Freedom Ridge, a 91-homesite
community located in Seffner. Both the West Lake Reserve and
Freedom Ridge communities are expected to open in the coming
months, while the Northgate models opened earlier this month.
“A combination of favorable economic factors and low inventory
has made Tampa a strong homebuilding market,” DePorre continued.
“These future communities will provide new homeownership
opportunities for Tampa residents in 2018 and beyond.”
