Empire Homes Logo

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.

Led by our founders and co-CEOs Daniel and Andrew Guizzetti, our leadership team’s expertise, vision, and commitment to quality homebuilding drive our company forward—shaping strategy, advancing progress, and delivering homes that fuel growth for our homeowners and communities.
