Founded in 2022 by industry veterans Saud Aziz and Luke Garcia, Hart Homes has swiftly emerged as one of Texas’s most agile and growth-focused production homebuilders. With over 100 homes under construction annually and a build volume surpassing $20 million, the Houston-based company has achieved notable momentum in less than two years, positioning itself as a dynamic presence within the state’s competitive housing market.
Built on a foundation of operational precision and startup resilience, Hart Homes was launched with a clear vision: to deliver high-quality, affordable homes while implementing scalable systems that support rapid expansion without compromising quality. Aziz and Garcia, who previously held leadership roles at national homebuilders including Lennar, LGI, and DR Horton, applied enterprise-grade discipline within a nimble startup framework. Their combined experience led to an operational model that integrates construction automation, data-informed decision-making, and high-touch customer care.
Starting with a single infill project, Hart Homes grew by adopting a vertically integrated approach that provides end-to-end oversight on costs, timelines, and quality. This model supported growth from four initial builds to more than 40 homes in 2024 alone. Hart Homes was recently recognized by the Consumer Builders Advisory Service (CBAS) as the #46 homebuilder in Houston—an achievement that reflects its accelerated pace of development.
The company has navigated market shifts by staying financially and operationally agile. Amid economic headwinds, Hart Homes swiftly mobilized new capital to maintain its development pipeline and keep projects active. As Aziz noted, “We didn’t wait for the market to turn in our favor—we built systems that could thrive regardless of the market.”
Partnerships with organizations such as Waterstone Development have supported the company’s growth by facilitating access to land development and construction opportunities. The company’s current community, The Villages at Westpointe in Dayton, Texas, features 92 homes, with upcoming communities like Liberty Ranch and Freedom Trails projected to deliver a combined 133 homes. These developments reflect Hart Homes’ commitment to building accessible, well-planned neighborhoods that provide long-term value.
Another key area of differentiation is Hart Homes’ lean, tech-enabled infrastructure. The company uses internal systems, software integrations, and automated tools to streamline project management and customer engagement. This approach minimizes delays and promotes transparency throughout the build lifecycle. While larger builders may struggle with personalization at scale, Hart Homes maintains a boutique experience supported by automation.
By combining production-level capacity with startup-style adaptability, Hart Homes takes on complex projects that other builders may avoid—whether due to lot irregularities, funding structure, or location constraints. Its model emphasizes both financial prudence and community impact, showcasing how residential development can evolve into a sustainable and scalable solution for housing needs.
With continued housing shortages across Texas, Hart Homes is positioning itself as a collaborative partner to both municipalities and private developers. By aligning long-term public and private interests, the company aims to contribute meaningfully to regional housing goals while maintaining its commitment to build quality and affordability.
Garcia and Aziz attribute their company’s trajectory to a culture rooted in resilience, mission focus, and a commitment to lasting impact. “It’s about building something that lasts—not just structurally, but economically and socially,” said Garcia.
With a forward-looking team and a growing portfolio, Hart Homes continues to build not only homes—but the foundation for a resilient and scalable future in residential development.
