Lusant Ordoñez
Co-founder and CEO of Zenodro HomesIn 2005, Lusant Ordoñez founded Zenodro Homes as a company that would deliver the most high-quality projects at the best price in its market; a family-owned business rooted in an ethos of goodwill, community, and giving back.
Today, developing more than 850 environmentally friendly homes in Central Florida, Zenodro Homes’ focus is currently master planned residential communities, including custom luxury residences, vacation home communities, residential condominiums, and single-family home communities. The company’s most recent project is Orlando’s The Dream Resort, consisting of six different communities — The Retreat, Serenity, Hidden Forest, Tranquility, Sunrise Pointe and Hidden Lakes — which offer a priceless new lifestyle.
Ordoñez is joined by his wife, Mariher C. Ordoñez, Zenodro Homes’ co-founder and director of community operations, at the fully integrated real estate development company, which focuses mainly on the Central Florida and South Florida areas. The company works with internationally recognized architects and interior designers.
Ordoñez began his career working for his family’s business in 1992, and later founded his own company in 1997, Zenodro Group. The construction management group led various projects in South and Central Florida, and soon Ordoñez had acquired his first piece of land in Orlando: the heart of the booming real estate market.
After several years, the company evolved into Zenodro Homes, and today enjoys exceptional, continued success. Ordoñez and his team have a passion for quality and details, and strive to exceed all expectations with every home delivered. Zenodro Homes was recognized by the Greater Orlando Builders Association as the best overall Multi-Family-Owned Builder in central Florida.
“My philosophy is that because clients are commonly putting a lifetime of savings and hard work into buying our homes, it is critical that we provide the best quality homes possible,” says Ordoñez. “We consider our buyers as much-valued members of the Zenodro Homes family, which also includes our employees, other property owners, and members of the community. We are highly committed to serving our clients and our team.”
One of Ordoñez’s favorite quotes is by Steve Jobs: ““If you keep your eye on the profit, you're going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.”
Residents of Lake Mary, Florida; the Ordonezes have three children. In his free time, Ordoñez loves spending time with his family, and serving his church. A philanthropist at heart, he enjoys helping others and giving back to his community. A dedicated man of faith, Ordoñez serves as a Eucharistic Minister, past parish ministry team leader, and past parish council member. He is a member of the Catholic Leadership Institute’s Next Generation Parish Task Force, is a Lay Apostle of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary, currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Ave Maria University and Legatus Board of Governors.
