The Construction Source America

Dorn Homes originally began business in the Phoenix area and then predominately serving Southern Arizona. As the great recession impacted the business, it began to search for and expand into other markets. Dorn Homes began to set sights on Prescott, AZ, and decided to establish business in Northern Arizona. It began and continued to grow its operations around its market in Prescott and surrounding areas. Chris Harrison, Division President of Dorn Homes, talks about his role at the company as it continues to expand. “I joined the team four years ago and we immediately started putting into place a growth strategy to dominate our local niche market in Northern Arizona,” remarks Harrison. “Prior to Dorn Homes, I helped lead another private developer/ homebuilder based in Phoenix with multiple divisions in Arizona and Texas. Prior to my homebuilding career, I studied architecture at the University of Arizona and worked in constructionduring the summer breaks. Upon graduation and becoming a registered architect, I practiced architecture for several years prior to ultimately joining one of my developer/ homebuilding clients. I found the development side of the business fascinating and it allowed me to blend my passion for design and construction.” AUG - SEP 2021 “The company’s impressive growth, dynamic culture and well-established name, has made Dorn Homes an acquisition target by those looking to capitalize on strong Northern Arizona housing market.”
