In 1952, Don Borror borrowed $800 from his wife to build their first home. He then sold it the following year. That was the beginning of a 50 year history of building affordable, high-quality new homes.
In the early 70’s, Don’s sons, Doug and David, joined the company that by 1984 became known as The Borror Corporation and, ultimately, Dominion Homes.
Since 1988, the Company has substantially increased its sales and market share in and around Columbus, Ohio, from 313 closings in 1988 to more than 2,500 in 2005. In 1994, Dominion Homes became a publicly-traded company (NASDAQ DHOM) and raised over $24 million in equity in order to continue its dramatic growth. In 1997, Dominion Homes expanded outside the central Ohio market to Louisville, Kentucky and in 2003, to Lexington. The company employs over 400 people.
Today, Dominion Homes is one of the leading homebuilders in Columbus Ohio, and among the top 30 builders in the country.
Dominion Homes offers seven distinct collections of homes that are differentiated by size, price, standard features, and options:
• Tradition - Top of the line and filled with extras: from the low $200s
• Celebration - The Home of the Future is here now: from the mid $100s
• Patriot - Fabulous family homes in Kentucky: from the mid $100s
• Independence - Single family homes in a condo community®: from the low $100s
• Founders - Great homes at great prices: from the upper $90s
• Metropolitan Townhomes - The smartest move you can make: from the mid $100s
• Grand Reserve - Active Adult communities: from the upper $100s
Today, under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Doug Borror and a strong executive team, the Company operates on the same solid principles its Founder, Don Borror, did when he started building homes more than 50 years ago: offering its customers the best locations, the best in quality products and brand names, the best and latest innovations, and the best people to serve its customers and ensure continued success. |
