Ontario-based Glenview Homes has announced plans to expand its residential building operations into the United States, targeting the Texas market.
The Ottawa-headquartered company announced on Monday (April 20) it will launch its U.S. expansion in the Greater Houston area. Veteran Texas homebuilding executive Blake Roberts has agreed to join the firm to spearhead the growth, eventually taking on the full-time role of president of Texas operations.
Jake Shabinsky, managing director of Glenview Homes, said in a news release that the company is approaching the new market with the same focus on quality construction and thoughtful design that has brought it success in Ontario.
“Blake brings an exceptional multi-decade track record across both private and public homebuilding organizations, overseeing and scaling operations in Texas,” Shabinsky said. “His deep Texas experience, leadership style, and principled value system complement Glenview extremely well.”
For his part, Roberts said he was “excited and honoured” to join the Glenview team, citing a shared vision for company culture and business strategy.
Glenview’s family-run parent company has operated in the province’s real estate sector since 1966, officially launching the Glenview Homes brand in 2012. The builder says more details will be released as the U.S. expansion moves forward.
