Exciting Expansion News!
Hello Colorado,
Meet Empire
We are excited to announce that effective September 30, 2024, Covington Homes has entered into a strategic partnership with Empire Communities, one of North America’s largest privately held homebuilders, allowing us to leverage the scale and efficiencies of a national homebuilder who shares our commitment to bringing quality homes to the Colorado market.
Empire believes that successful growth comes from partnering with those who offer local expertise and a dedication to excellence. Covington Homes embodies these qualities, and together, we will enhance the homebuying experience in Colorado — one of America’s fastest-growing markets — and continue to build thriving communities.
This partnership further diversifies and expands Empire’s presence in the U.S. to 8 markets, including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Charlotte, Greenville, and now Colorado Springs.
