Urban Appeal

Engle Homes has acquired Phoenix-based Artisan Homes, which specialized in high-density urban infill construction. Eric Brown, founder of Artisan, will continue on as regional manager for Engle’s Artisan Homes Collection and will develop new infill projects for the company. “Now, I have capital and resources behind me. This gives me a chance to continue to grow the product line,” says Brown, who says he looks to expand beyond Phoenix in coming years. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
