Construction & Development

Construction & Development.

In 1910, Walter G. Justus launched the Justus Contracting Company — building family homes and neighborhoods known for their quality and value. Over the next ten decades, The Justus Contracting Company transformed into The Justus Family of Companies and steadily grew into a fully-integrated real estate enterprise. Today, the Justus Companies has earned a leading name in construction and development. More than 20,000 Justus homes and communities stand as structural tributes to Walter G. Justus’ vision while the fourth-generation ownership and leadership teams continues to position the company for a promising future.

A Solid Foundation – With more than 100 years of experience, The Justus Companies has withstood the test of time — enduring two World Wars and the Great Depression when many construction companies failed to survive these hardships.

Beyond Bricks & Mortar – Building for quality goes beyond just bricks and mortar … it means planning with passion and building with purpose. Excellence is never an accident, but the result of intent, effort and thoughtful execution.

Building for the Future – The key to continued success is a steady pipeline of projects combining thoughtfully-selected locations with hospitality-focused design. The Construction & Development Team is works continuously on multiple projects in various phases.

A Team Effort – The Construction & Development Team is involved in every step of the design, budget and construction processes when approaching new construction and capital improvements. Justus’s industry professionals possess best-in-class expertise and experience and display an unwavering commitment to quality.
