Mattamy Homes
Neighborhoods First, Houses Second
Peter Gilgan built one house in Ontario in 1978. Mattamy Homes is what happened next: the largest privately held homebuilder in North America, closing 8,261 homes in its latest fiscal year and generating $5.9 billion in revenue — all without ever going public. That last part matters more than it sounds. With no quarterly earnings calls to answer to, Mattamy plans communities on a longer clock, and you can feel the difference walking through one.
The company’s design philosophy starts with the street, not the house. Front porches pulled toward the sidewalk. Garages tucked back or rear-loaded so facades read as homes rather than garage doors. Parks and trails placed where people will actually use them, planned before the first foundation is poured. It sounds like marketing until you compare a decade-old Mattamy neighborhood against a same-age competitor — theirs tend to age into places, not just subdivisions.
Florida is one of Mattamy’s most important U.S. markets, with a strong presence across Southeast Florida and the Treasure Coast. Its buyers skew family and move-up, and its communities usually land in the middle of the price spectrum — above the volume builders, below the luxury names, with design quality as the tiebreaker.
Mattamy by the Numbers
Closings have stayed remarkably consistent through the rate cycle — and new orders jumped 40% in the most recent quarter, an early signal of returning demand:

The Mattamy Approach
Expect thoughtful standard architecture — varied elevations so the street doesn’t repeat, quality exterior materials, floor plans with genuinely usable flex space — and a design studio process for buyers who build to order. Mattamy’s Florida homes are built to current hurricane code with impact protection, and because the company controls its own land development, its communities tend to open with amenities finished rather than promised. The pace is deliberate; if you need to close in three weeks, a spec-heavy builder will serve you better. If you’re choosing where your kids will grow up, the patience usually pays.
Where Mattamy Builds in South Florida

Palm Beach County • Family corridor
Active in the county’s western growth areas, building the cohesive, walkable communities the brand is known for.
Palm Beach County • Move-up value
Family-oriented communities positioned between the coast and the western suburbs, with Mattamy’s design quality as the differentiator.
Broward • Central access
Part of Mattamy’s Broward presence, serving buyers who want thoughtful new construction with tri-county connectivity.
Why Buyers Choose Mattamy
Neighborhood-First Design
Varied Streetscapes
Amenities Built Early
45+ Years Building
Mattamy is the builder for people who walk a community before they tour a model. The homes are well built, but the neighborhoods are the product — and because the company answers to a founder rather than a stock ticker, it can afford to build them properly. Buyers who value how a place will feel in ten years, not just at closing, tend to end up here.
