ABOUT US
Building
As If It Were
Our Home Too
At AR2 Homes, we don't just develop properties – we build communities where we would want to live ourselves. This fundamental principle guides every project we undertake and every decision we make.
When we design a residence, create a commercial center, or develop a manufacturing facility, we approach each project with the care and consideration we would invest if we were building our own home. We ask ourselves: Would we want our families to live and work here? Would we be proud to be part of this community? Would this development enhance our quality of life?
This "our home too" philosophy means we never cut corners, never sacrifice quality for profit, and never lose sight of the human impact of our work. It means creating spaces that foster connection, promote well-being, and stand the test of time – just as we would want for ourselves and those we love.
Building Community, Building Trust
Solutions for Each Community
No two communities are alike, which is why AR2 Homes doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We recognize that meaningful change must be cultivated through tailored approaches that honor each community's unique character, needs, and aspirations.
Our comprehensive range of services spans residential and commercial development, manufacturing facilities, cooperative ownership models, workforce development, non-profit partnerships, resident support, and policy advocacy. This holistic approach allows us to address the full spectrum of community needs, from housing and employment to education and empowerment.
For each community we serve, we begin by listening. We engage with residents, business owners, community leaders, and other stakeholders to understand their vision for the future. Then, we leverage our expertise and resources to transform that vision into reality, cultivating positive change that grows stronger and more impactful over time.
Values First
AR2 Homes brings decades of combined experience in community focused development to every project we undertake. Our team includes experts in urban planning, architecture, construction, finance, community organizing, and policy development – all united by a shared commitment to strengthening communities through thoughtful, responsible development.
Our experience has taught us that successful development is built on a foundation of trust. We earn that trust by consistently delivering on our promises, maintaining transparent communication throughout the development process, and demonstrating a genuine commitment to community well-being that extends far beyond project completion.
From navigating complex regulatory environments to managing large-scale construction projects, our experienced team brings the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome challenges and transform possibilities into realities that serve communities for generations to come.
At AR2 Homes, accountability isn't just a buzzword – it's a core commitment that shapes how we operate at every level. We hold ourselves accountable first and foremost to the communities we serve, measuring our success not just by financial metrics but by the positive impact we create in people's lives.
Our values-first approach means that we make decisions based on what's right for residents, not just what's expedient or profitable. It means we stand behind our work for the long term, remaining engaged with communities long after construction is complete to ensure that our developments continue to serve their intended purpose.
Being community-focused means we're accountable to:
-
Residents who call our developments home
-
Businesses that operate in our commercial spaces
-
Workers who earn livelihoods in our manufacturing facilities
-
Partners who collaborate with us to achieve shared goals
-
Future generations who will inherit the communities we help build today
OUR MISSION
Affordability Reimagined
At the heart of AR2 Homes' mission is a commitment to reimagining what affordability means in community development. We believe that affordability encompasses more than just housing costs – it includes access to economic opportunity, quality education, essential services, and the tools needed for upward mobility.
Affordability Reimagined means:
-
Creating housing options across the income spectrum that allow people to live in communities of opportunity
-
Developing commercial spaces that support local businesses and create accessible jobs
-
Building infrastructure that reduces transportation costs and connects people to resources
-
Investing in workforce development that opens doors to sustainable careers
-
Advocating for policies that remove barriers to economic participation
Through this expanded understanding of affordability, we work to create truly inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. By addressing affordability holistically, AR2 Homes isn't just building structures – we're transforming lives and creating a foundation for more equitable, vibrant communities for generations to come.
