On Top of the World Communities, Inc. is one of the oldest privately held construction and development companies in Florida, specializing in desirable Florida active adult retirement living. The company, founded by Sidney Colen, began building in 1947 and has constructed homes for literally tens of thousands of satisfied buyers.

Following the success of the first On Top of the World condominium community in Clearwater, Florida, Colen’s interest grew to include central Florida where, in 1975, he purchased a large parcel of land in Ocala formerly known as Circle Square Ranch. Development began on this land in 1982 and continues today.

For over 60 years, Sidney Colen served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of On Top of the World Communities. Today, Kenneth Colen, Sidney Colen’s son, is the company’s president and oversees the development and operation of the Ocala property.
