Meet The Team
Built on Legacy. Driven by Quality. Trusted by Families.
Founded in 1956, Lowder New Homes has spent nearly 70 years building a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, customer satisfaction, and strong community relationships. As part of The Colonial Company—one of the Southeast’s most respected family-owned businesses—Lowder New Homes combines the strength of a regional leader with the care and attention of a local partner.
Today, we are one of Alabama’s largest homebuilders, yet every home we build reflects a personalized approach. From start to finish, our team is committed to delivering a homebuilding experience that’s as seamless as it is rewarding. It’s no surprise that more than 95 percent of our customers say they would recommend us to their friends and family.
