An Anna Maria Island home,
built for life by the Gulf
Anna Maria Island is Old-Florida beach living at its most protected: low-rise, charm-guarded, steps from the Gulf. Trinity is building on 34th Street in Holmes Beach right now, the way a barrier-island home has to be built: modeled in full before ground breaks, engineered for surge and dune rules from the start, budgeted in the open, and a builder on site every day.
What it takes to
build well on Anna Maria Island
Anna Maria Island is a seven-mile barrier island north of Longboat Key, with three beach towns along it: Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach. It is one of the most charm-protected places on the coast. Building heights are held low, the Old-Florida character is guarded by design rules, and the lots sit close to the Gulf, the bay, and the neighbors.
That setting is the whole appeal, and it is also what makes building here a different job. Homes sit in a coastal flood zone and are elevated and engineered for surge before anyone draws a floor plan. Dune and coastal regulations shape what can be built and how. None of that is a reason to compromise. It is a reason to plan harder: we model the home in BIM and SketchUp before buyout so conflicts surface on a screen instead of in the field, and we keep full-time supervision on site so the sequence holds.

A new home on 34th Street, Holmes Beach
Architect: Jones Architecture | New construction, Holmes Beach | In progress
On 34th Street in Holmes Beach, Trinity is building a new Gulf-side custom home with Jones Architecture. The home is engineered for the barrier island from the ground up, elevated and built to stand where it sits, and coordinated through Trinity’s modeling and full-time on-site supervision. It is the clearest proof of how Trinity builds on Anna Maria Island: in the open, planned ahead of the field, and held to the standard every day of the build.
The same standard,
set from the start
Every Anna Maria Island home Trinity builds runs on the same disciplines. Open-book budgeting, so you see where your money goes and the contingency is a visible line, not a surprise. BIM-driven framing standards the trades build against. Full-time on-site supervision, not a project manager checking in between other jobs. It is the part of building that does not photograph, and it is the part that protects the home you can see.

The best island homes come from talented professionals collaborating without ego. On 34th Street, Trinity is building with Jones Architecture.

What makes building on Anna Maria Island different?
It is a charm-protected barrier island: building heights are held low, lots sit in a coastal flood zone, and dune and coastal rules shape the work. Homes are elevated and engineered for surge before a floor plan is drawn, which is why the planning Trinity does up front matters so much here.
