Growth gives life meaning. At Empire Homes, we understand that as you and your loved ones evolve, your needs change too. That’s why we create spaces that don’t just reflect where you are, but support where you’re headed.
Your home is the foundation for your future, and we’re here to help it evolve with you through personalized service, thoughtful upgrades, or just being there when you need us.
We craft communities where dreams take root, connections flourish, and innovation fuels potential. Because at Empire Homes, growth isn’t just our goal, it’s our commitment, and we’ll honour it every step of the way.
Advancement is at the core of who we are—it’s what drives us, shapes us, and defines the impact we make. From the beginning, we’ve been focused on more than just building homes; we’ve been building opportunities for people to grow.
Whether it’s homeowners like you stepping into a new chapter of life, employees advancing in their careers, or partners expanding their businesses alongside us, we believe that growth is a shared journey.
Since 1993, Empire Homes has been on a mission to create spaces where people can truly grow and connect. With over 38,000 homes and condominiums built across more than 100 communities in six U.S. states and Ontario, Canada, we’ve become one of North America’s largest privately-held homebuilders.
We manage every aspect of the homebuilding process—from land acquisition to construction—ensuring each project reflects our commitment to quality and innovation. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or downsizing, our thoughtfully designed homes offer accessibility, comfort, and practicality for every stage of life.
But it’s not just about building homes. We take pride in adding value to the communities we’re part of, creating neighbourhoods where residents can thrive. Driven by a constant desire to exceed expectations, we continuously innovate to make a positive impact on the places we build and the people who call them home.
We believe in building more than just homes. We believe in creating the conditions for people and places to grow. Our communities are designed to evolve with you.
