30+ years of Rochester experience you can build on
Mark Hanson's story in residential development began long before the first street was drawn or homesite was sold. His roots are in homebuilding, where decades of hands-on experience taught him that an exceptional home is influenced by much more than what happens inside its four walls.
The setting matters. The land matters. Privacy, views, infrastructure, neighboring homes, and the overall character of a community all play a role in both the experience of living there and its long-term value.
That understanding ultimately led Mark from building individual homes to developing entire communities.
Today, Mark Hanson Developments brings that experience to every piece of land it develops—looking beyond how many lots can fit and considering what will make the neighborhood exceptional for the people who eventually call it home.
From Scenic Oaks West and Millie Meadow Estates to Preserve of Mayowood and the newly envisioned Eastwood Estates, each community is different by design. What remains consistent is Mark's commitment to thoughtful planning, quality development and creating places that will stand the test of time.
Because after decades in this business, Mark understands something simple:
A great home starts with a great place to build it.

Your homesite is the starting point for your custom home
Finding the right place to build is often the hardest—and most important—decision in creating a new home. Mark Hanson Developments gives you access to some of Rochester's most distinctive residential communities, with opportunities ranging from private acreage and wooded homesites to gated neighborhoods, model homes and luxury new construction.
Whether you're just beginning to explore what's possible or already have a vision in mind, we can help you find the right community, identify available homesites or model-home opportunities, and connect with experienced builders, development representatives, and trusted local partners who can help bring everything together.
