In 1925, George Merrick founded Coral Gables, Florida. Soon after, Arthur B. (Mickey) McBride Jr. began to purchase land here. Over the years, the McBride family has developed or sold several of its properties, including the land for the Riviera Country Club and many sites along Biltmore Way. Most recently, the third generation, led by Brian McBride, has decided to develop their remaining lots.

Harold D. (Hal) White, a native of Coral Gables, has been a prominent real estate executive for over 40 years. He has a family history in the business that goes back more than 70 years. In fact, his father Armer White worked with Mickey McBride way back in the early days of Coral Gables.

And now, Brian and Hal have teamed up to create Riviera Development. Their vision is to "create the absolute highest design, quality and fitness for each particular site". Current projects include new elegant Mediterranean style homes in Coral Gables, Florida and new "ocean view" Maine vacation homes overlooking Penobscot Bay near Camden and Rockport.
