Division Vice President of Land Acquisition & Development

Overview

Built on a solid, family foundation, we've been building homes across the United States for more than 25 years, but our history started way before that in the 1600s with an English builder named George Beazer. Nine generations later, the Beazer family and name continues to stand for quality homebuilding, craftsmanship, and innovation. Our focus is on individual communities. We strategically build each community to be near places that our customers care about, so that a home is more than a house.
