In 1977, Howard Brown took a leap of faith. After years in construction, he knew the industry inside and out. With a sharp eye for detail and a strong work ethic, he decided to build something of his own and launched Brown Atlantic. Nearly 50 years later, his sons are now stepping into leadership roles. They are blending the lessons from their father with new perspectives, and Brown Atlantic is ready to face the future with a strong, united vision.
What set Howard apart is his super spatial intelligence, a rare ability to visualize spaces before they’re built. He can walk onto an empty lot and see the finished project in his mind, down to the smallest details. To him, these aren’t just construction projects. This is art.

He prioritized relationships, working closely with architects, engineers and clients to ensure that every detail met his high standards. His reputation spread, not just because of the quality of his work, but because of the way he worked: with integrity, patience and a commitment to getting it right. That approach laid a foundation strong enough to support not just buildings, but a family legacy…
