Empire Communities

Founded in 1993, this family‑owned builder has grown from a single‑project startup into one of North America’s largest privately‑held homebuilders.

With a fully vertically integrated model, it manages everything from land acquisition and planning to design, construction and sales across Canada and the U.S.

Its projects range from entry‑level detached homes to upscale condos and master‑planned mixed‑use developments in high‑growth regions.

Notable growth includes occasional incorporation of commercial or mixed‑use elements into its master‑planned communities.

Headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, with major regional offices in Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte and beyond.
