Century Communities, Inc. is an American home construction and real estate development company headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado.[1][2]
It has been publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 2014.
History
Century Communities was founded in 2002 by brothers Dale and Robert J. Francescon as a developer of single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.[3][4]
In 2013, Century Communities raised US$240 million through a private offering to support expansion and expanded its operations to Texas through the acquisition of Jimmy Jacobs Homes in Austin and San Antonio.[5][6]
In June 2014, Century Communities completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange.[7][8][9] Following the IPO, it acquired Dunhill Homes' Las Vegas operations, Houston-based Grand View Builders[10][11], and Atlanta-based Peachtree Communities.[12]
In 2016, Century Communities acquired a 50 percent stake in North Carolina-based Wade Jurney Homes, expanded its operations to Salt Lake City, founded Inspire Home Loans for mortgage, Parkway Title for title, and IHL Insurance Agency for insurance services.[13][14][15] In 2017, it merged with UCP, Inc. in a US$336 million transaction, and expanded into California and the Pacific Northwest.[16][17] In November 2017, it acquired Lynnwood homebuilder Sundquist Homes.[18][19][20] By the end of that year, Century Communities was operating 117 active communities across 10 states.[16]
In 2018, Century Communities acquired the remaining interest in Wade Jurney Homes and renamed it as Century Complete in 2020.[21][22] In 2021, Century Communities expanded to the Phoenix metropolitan area, North Florida, and Kentucky, beginning with communities in the Louisville metropolitan area. By 2022, Century Communities had also launched Century Living, a multifamily division focused on apartment development, and was ranked as the ninth-largest homebuilder in the United States by volume.[23]
In 2024, Century Communities expanded its footprint in Nashville through the acquisition of Landmark Homes of Tennessee, and later that year acquired Anglia Homes.[24][25] In August 2024, it acquired a 100-acre site near Fulshear, Texas.[26] In 2025, it acquired the land of Chiles Ranch in Davis, California.[27]
