Our History
We began building homes in 1949, creating over 75 years of experience - learning, listening to our homeowners and following our gut, not the market.
Today, our parent company, Zilber Ltd., is majority owned by a charitable Foundation whose sole purpose is to build stronger, healthier communities by providing access to social and economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
In recent years, the Foundation has made grants to help people meet basic human needs, increase access to social and economic opportunity, and improve conditions in neighborhoods. Contributions have helped to:
