Empire Building: SouthCraft Expands U.S. Footprint, ScalePublished by The Builders Daily on Friday, February 7th, 2025.
Empire Homes, one of North America’s largest privately held homebuilders, has acquired Charlotte-based SouthCraft Builders, further extending its reach in the Southeast U.S. housing market.
This acquisition continues a pattern of regional consolidation. Well-capitalized private homebuilders — particularly international firms — are absorbing local operators to strengthen their market position, secure land pipelines, and scale more efficiently in an environment where land, capital, and homebuyer affordability are non-negotiable challenges.
