Markel Homes, one of Colorado’s premier homebuilders, plans, develops and builds Colorado neighborhoods that embody the natural landscape and comfortable lifestyle of the West. Innovative design and distinctive architecture are characteristic of a Markel community, along with quality construction and Built Green™ practices. For nearly three decades, Markel Homes has created communities that complement the values and appeal to the needs of the citizens of Colorado.
In the ‘90s, Markel Homes gained prominence in the high-end, semi-custom single and multi-family home niche. While we continue to excel in the creation of signature homes like those of Niwot Meadow Farm and White Hawk Ranch, a change in market and economic conditions, along with a shift in values for many Americans, is encouraging our expansion into the mid-range housing market. This broadening of focus marks the beginnings of a fresh architectural style for Markel. The sprawling home of the ‘90s is giving way to the contemporary New West home, a style defined by natural building materials, environmental preservation, water conservation, and a Colorado palette to mirror the region’s dramatic landscape. The “New West” collection from Markel embraces the appeal of Colorado, and turns it into a home.
Markel Homes is run by its founder, Michael Markel, who espouses the importance of great design in the creation of livable, supportive neighborhoods. Under his direction, the company has endured the economic cycles in Colorado’s homebuilding industry to remain a leader in both design and functionality, and has grown to represent honesty and integrity in the building process. |
