Century Communities, ranked No. 10 on the 2026 Builder 100 list, has acquired substantially all of the assets of HMH Lifestyles, doing business as HistoryMaker Homes. This acquisition strengthens Century Communities’ position in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

The deal triples Century Communities’ community count and expands its lot pipeline, according to the company.

HistoryMaker Homes, founded in 1949 in Fort Worth, is Texas’ longest-standing production home builder. Nelson Mitchell, CEO of HistoryMaker Homes, notes that his family has been building quality new homes for five generations. He believes Century Communities shares HistoryMaker’s commitment to quality, integrity, and customer experience.

Century Communities’ existing Dallas-Fort Worth operations will combine with HistoryMaker Homes into one division based in Grapevine. HistoryMaker division leadership and team members will join Century Communities, and construction, sales, and closings will continue as scheduled.

Jim Francescon, executive vice president of Century Communities, says HistoryMaker has earned the trust of Texas home buyers for over 75 years. He notes that the company’s product and lot pipeline align with Century’s strategy of building depth in existing markets. Century Communities will maintain a land relationship with Jabez Development, HistoryMaker’s sister land development company.
