Lenny Miller started building homes in South Florida back in 1959. After completing college and some on-the-job training, he teamed up with Adolph Berger to found Pasadena Homes, a company that went on to build more than 10,000 units in the following four decades.
"Back then, we were selling a two-bedroom house with a carport for $12,300," says Miller, who served as president of the Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) in 1969 and retired from home-building last year. "Our highest price was $13,900 for a four-bedroom, two-bath model. Today, we pay more for a sewer hookup than we paid for an entire lot back then, and lots now sell for $60,000 on up."
