Luxury communities planned around the land
We develop Rochester neighborhoods with attention to the land, street layout, and how each homesite relates to its surroundings. Our communities offer different ways to live, from open acreage to wooded settings and private gated living, each created with the same commitment to exceptional settings, lasting value, and places people are proud to call home.

Meet Mark Hanson, Rochester community developer
Mark Hanson has spent years helping shape the Rochester residential landscape—first as an established homebuilder and today as the developer behind some of the area's most distinctive communities. His experience on both sides of the process gives him a unique perspective: understanding not only what makes a great home, but what makes an entire neighborhood feel special.
From Millie Meadow Estates and Scenic Oaks West to Preserve of Mayowood and the newly envisioned Eastwood Estates, Mark's approach begins with the land—thoughtfully considering location, natural surroundings, privacy, and how a community will live and grow for years to come.
