Founded on the idea of custom home building to the level of superlative craftsmanship

Our Expertise

With more than four decades of design, development, and custom homebuilding expertise, Manz Development has built hundreds of homes in the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas. Over the years, Manz has perfected the client-centered, one-stop design + build experience.

At Manz Development, we have deep professional relationships with architects, engineers, designers, suppliers, tradespeople, and craftsmen who we partner with to turn your dream into a dream home. We measure our success in our clients’ experiences; from the first friendly conversation where we discuss dreams and style inspiration, to the client centered team of professionals and craftspeople that create and execute a seamless plan, to the family gatherings and memories made over the years at their dream home.

Our Inspiration

Extensive travels inform our design aesthetic. Our inspiration draws from an array of historic architecture ranging from the garden enclaves of Savannah to the Charleston single house and distinctive Louisiana Low Country home designs, and from the stately homes of the English countryside and the farmhouses in Provence to stunning Parisian townhomes. At Manz Development we look to the past for creative inspiration, not the latest trends, focusing the style of our work on the timeless grace of classic architecture.

Our Philosophy

What is a craft without a craftsman to pursue and perfect it? It is mere trade, the stuff of assembly lines. At Manz Development, we founded our business on the idea of re-elevating custom home building to the level of superlative craftsmanship. We adamantly demand excellence and architectural integrity, while encouraging and facilitating expressive individualism. Every home we create is executed with the utmost care and precision.

Our Process                            

We treat our clients like partners, each with a unique vision that is essential to the design + build process. Your ideas and dreams play an integral role in the process from the first planning meeting until it’s time to turn the key and open the front door.

The Manz Development homebuilding experience begins with your property, whether it’s .5 acres or 50 acres, and a dream – your dream of a sophisticated, custom residence unlike any other. With our vision and personalized place-making services,  the design + build process with your Manz Development dream home team will be professional, collaborative and always fun, culminating in a home worthy of the highest accolades. When you walk through the doors of a Manz Development home, you’ll immediately feel the difference. Our homes simply stand apart.
