More than half a century has passed since Frank Robino built his first home in the Wilmington area after returning home from serving the U.S. Navy in World War II. During that time, many soldiers were returning home to anxious spouses, wanting to begin anew and start families. Robino recognized that homes would be in great demand, so he starting building.
The momentum that would make him Delaware's leading homebuilder began in northern Delaware. In 1955 he built his first planned community of 200 homes. Robino took great pride in building homes. He was not only providing people with an affordable place to live and a lifetime investment, but he was also a part of someone's American dream. |

During the 1960s, as Dover's growth accelerated, Robino recognized the growing need for affordable, quality homes in the area. Soon after, his communities began to spread rapidly. Before the 1970s came to a close, he became known as the "man who built Dover."
In the 1990s, he expanded, yet again, to Sussex County after recognizing the growing market for second-home buyers and retirees in the Rehoboth Beach area. Robino built an array of planned communities differing in style and design in the beach area.
Frank Robino never changed his work ethic in all his years of business. Integrity and honesty were what made him unique in the home building industry; his word and his handshake were as solid as a rock. As it was then, and is still practiced today by Frank Robino Companies, LLC, all homebuyers are treated with the utmost courtesy and are ensured that their future home will be built with quality, care and precision.
