Lifestyle Homes

What Lifestyle Homes does

Lifestyle Homes is a privately held, fee-based general contractor headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, founded in 2009 by Lance Keller. The company specializes in build-for-rent (BFR) single-family rental community development, horizontal multi-family communities, and select commercial construction projects, operating across Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. Delivery is conducted through three affiliated legal entities: Lifestyle Homes LLC (an Arizona-licensed real estate brokerage), LSH Construction LLC (the AZ-licensed general contractor), and LSH NV Construction LLC (the NV-licensed general contractor). The company does not own land for its own account on BFR projects; instead, it earns fees for pre-development consulting, entitlement and permitting coordination, infrastructure construction, and vertical residential build-out on behalf of developer and real estate investor clients. Notable production credentials include 15,000+ homes built across the Southwest, 200+ subdivisions completed, 2,000+ acres developed, and 1,000+ pre-developed homes in progress. In 2025, Builder Magazine named Lifestyle Homes one of the top 100 homebuilders in the nation.

The business model is project-based, sales-led, and enterprise-only, with direct engagement between Lifestyle Homes and institutional developers (e.g., Empire Group, Dominium, GTIS Partners, Moderne Communities, El Dorado Holdings). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year project contracts. Marketing and demand generation are limited primarily to the company website, organic SEO, trade association membership (Home Builders Association of Central Arizona; National Association of Home Builders), and word-of-mouth through developer and subcontractor relationships. The core technology is general construction management expertise rather than a software platform: there is no public API, SDK, or proprietary digital product, and the company does not disclose any technology stack beyond standard construction-management processes. Lifecycle coverage spans concept/design review with architects and engineers, entitlement and permitting with municipalities, infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, parks), and full vertical residential construction through project completion. The leadership team carries approximately 150 years of combined industry experience drawn from KB Home, Centex Homes, Meritage Homes, Shea Homes, Taylor Morrison, and US Home.

Core offering

Lifestyle Homes is a fee-based general contractor that delivers construction services for build-for-rent single-family rental communities, horizontal multi-family residential developments, and commercial projects across Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. The company provides end-to-end project execution from pre-development consulting, entitlement, and infrastructure construction (roads, sidewalks, community parks) through vertical residential build-out. Operations are conducted under LSH Construction LLC (Arizona), LSH NV Construction LLC (Nevada), and the affiliated Lifestyle Homes LLC real estate brokerage.

Product overview

Lifestyle Homes is a single, unified fee-based general contracting service rather than a modular SaaS platform. Its core offering is construction services for build-for-rent communities, multi-family residential, and commercial projects delivered across Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, executed under one delivery model with two legal contracting entities (LSH Construction LLC in Arizona and LSH NV Construction LLC in Nevada) plus a parallel real estate brokerage line (Lifestyle Homes LLC). The named products in the array reflect how this single service is packaged and exposed to the market: the core Fee-Based General Contracting Services (the delivery model), the Real Estate Brokerage line held alongside it, and the Build-for-Rent Community Projects Portfolio that is the public, named catalog of Village, Moderne, Skyview, and Saddleback communities the company has built or consulted on.

Direct peers

• Christopher Todd Communities: Arizona-based build-for-rent developer and operator of horizontal single-family rental communities; Lifestyle Homes' VP Gregory Gaskill led development at Christopher Todd Communities via Taylor Morrison, making it a direct functional peer in the same BFR construction niche.
• Empire Communities: Canadian homebuilder with a U.S. single-family rental platform (Empire Group of Companies in Arizona); as a Lifestyle Homes customer on Village at Olive Marketplace (208 homes) and Village at Pioneer Park (332 homes), it represents a directly comparable BFR builder that could also compete for similar enterprise mandates.
• Tri Pointe Homes: Public homebuilder with explicit build-for-rent and scattered lot investment programs across the Southwest; competes for BFR community mandates and developer partnerships in the same AZ/NV/TX corridor.
• Core Construction: Mid-sized national general contractor with a residential and multifamily practice; comparable as a fee-based general contractor pursuing horizontal multi-family and residential community construction for developers in similar Southwest geographies.

Broad incumbents

• David Weekley Homes: Large private U.S. homebuilder with an active build-for-rent and rental operations initiative; comparable as a top-tier private homebuilder pursuing BFR communities, overlapping with Lifestyle Homes' target market of developers and investors.
• Meritage Homes: Top-10 U.S. public homebuilder with active BFR/community rental product, headquartered in Scottsdale and a known employer of Lifestyle Homes' VP of Finance and VP Senior PM; comparable as a Sunbelt-focused builder with overlapping BFR ambition.
• D.R. Horton: Largest U.S. homebuilder with a dedicated build-for-rent/investor solutions platform operating across AZ, NV, and TX; represents the competitive ceiling Lifestyle Homes faces from a balance-sheet-backed, vertically integrated entrant in BFR.
• Taylor Morrison: Top-5 U.S. public homebuilder headquartered in Scottsdale with a build-to-rent single-family rental product and a Flex program for investor sales; Lifestyle Homes' VP Gaskill spent time at Taylor Morrison building Christopher Todd Communities, and it competes for similar Southwest BFR developers.
• Lennar: Largest U.S. homebuilder by volume with an established single-family rental and Millrose spin-out; competes directly with Lifestyle Homes for institutional BFR developer mandates in AZ, NV, and TX.
• Beazer Homes: Public homebuilder with an active build-for-rent and All Cash/SFR product offering focused on the Sunbelt; comparable as a competitor pursuing the same institutional developer relationships in Lifestyle Homes' geographies.
