Try Dealroom →, Texas' longest-standing production homebuilder, the company said on October 8, 2026. The deal triples Century's community count in Dallas-Fort Worth and expands its lot pipeline. Terms were not disclosed.
Who's involved? Founded in Fort Worth in 1949 and based in Grapevine, HistoryMaker builds exclusively in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Century Communities is one of the largest US homebuilders, operating in 16 states and more than 45 markets through its Century Communities and Century Complete brands.
Why now? Dallas-Fort Worth is the nation's largest new home market. "HistoryMaker Homes gives us the scale, land position, and local talent to accelerate our growth in Dallas-Fort Worth, one of the largest housing markets in the country," said chief executive officer Rob Francescon.
What changes? Century's existing Dallas-Fort Worth operations will merge with HistoryMaker into a single Grapevine-based division, with HistoryMaker leadership and staff joining. Construction, sales, and closings continue as scheduled, and buyers under contract will keep working with their local HistoryMaker team.
What's the endgame? The purchase fits Century's strategy of deepening its presence in existing markets. It will also maintain a land relationship with Jabez Development, HistoryMaker's sister company, which will finish development on select communities and pursue further land deals jointly.
Nelson Mitchell, HistoryMaker's chief executive officer, said the firm sought "a partner that shares our commitment to quality, integrity and the customer experience." Vestra Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to HistoryMaker. Mitchell's family has run the business across five generations.
The signal: The deal reflects continued consolidation among US homebuilders, as larger players buy regional operators to gain land pipelines and local expertise in high-demand markets rather than build from scratch.
