Who We Are — Inside Fort + Home

A Vision Born from Experience

Fort + Home didn’t begin as a corporation — it started as a belief.

In 2008, I purchased my first rental property and saw firsthand how housing shapes lives. Over the years, my wife Danielle and I continued building and managing homes with one guiding principle: quality matters.

By 2017, that principle became official. Fort + Home was born to unify everything we’d learned about design, construction, and community into one vertically integrated system built to last.

Our Mission

We exist to make housing attainable, investable, and enduring for families and investors across the Rockies.

Every decision — from design and materials to financing and management — ties back to a single goal: create homes people love, while delivering results investors can trust.

The Power of Vertical Integration

Fort + Home operates through five interconnected divisions that give us complete control over cost, quality, and execution. Together, they form a closed-loop housing system that begins with land and ends with long-term stewardship.

We optimize three key drivers of bankability:

1. Fort + Home Developments: Transforming buildings and land into vibrant communities.
2. Fort Homes: Our offsite construction company in Grand Junction, producing precision-built homes and modules.
3. Fort + Home Realty: Identifying the best properties to purchase and supporting the sales process when it’s time.
4. Fort + Home Capital: Managing investor relationships and funding the projects that drive our mission forward.
5. Fort Asset Management: Protecting and optimizing every property for long-term value and performance.

This structure allows every Fort + Home project to move seamlessly from concept to completion — faster, smarter, and with uncompromising quality.

Our Core Value: Quality

Quality is not a marketing term; it’s the cornerstone of our business.

From the way we design our cottages to the precision of our offsite builds, our teams measure success by the product that leaves our factory floor and the experience our residents have when they move in.

We believe quality starts with people.
We’ve built a team that shares our values — people who care deeply about the product, the process, and the purpose behind every home.

Where We’re Going

The opportunity ahead is enormous. America faces a shortage of attainable housing, and traditional construction can’t keep up.

We believe factory precision is the future — allowing us to build faster, with less waste, and with better energy performance than ever before.

At Fort + Home, we’re building a team in our factory who will take our products to the next level and provide quality homes that people love and want to call home.
Our long-term vision is bold: to provide one million homes in our lifetime.

It’s a goal rooted in responsibility — to our investors, our residents, and the communities we serve.
