Ventura Custom Homes

What Ventura Custom Homes does

Ventura Custom Homes is a privately-held luxury custom homebuilder founded in 2004 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company designs and builds high-end residences in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with primary developments including The Preserve at Fields Frisco (a nearly 2,500-acre master-planned community featuring PGA golf courses and guard-gated neighborhoods) and Hills of Kingswood. Ventura also operates the Parkside Villas enclave within The Preserve, offering six distinct architectural prototypes (Santa Barbara Modern, Manhattan Penthouse, Miami Contemporary, Newport Coastal, Dubai Chic, and Aspen) developed in collaboration with SHM Architects, including the proprietary 'front yard living' concept unique to the DFW area.

The company's core technical capability is grounded in custom luxury construction, with particular expertise in challenging terrain and basement construction developed by co-founder Loy Lowary, a former owner of a commercial concrete company. Ventura's business model is direct-to-consumer: it sells premium lots (Golf Course, Hilltop, Boulevard, and Neighborhood typologies) and commissions bespoke homes through its executive team, with no intermediaries or third-party distribution. Sales are quote-based and transactions are high-touch, executed through model home presentations, community events, and personal outreach by founders Shideh and Loy Lowary.

The company operates from three locations—a Dallas headquarters, a construction office in Dallas, and a Frisco regional office—and targets affluent individual homebuyers seeking architectural distinction, privacy, and premium amenities. Ventura is founder-owned with no external institutional investment, has 11-50 employees, and is actively hiring for field and administrative roles to support its expanding project pipeline. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company relies primarily on its website portfolio, Instagram presence, and direct referrals for customer acquisition.
