Privately-Owned Home Builder in Austin Joins Clayton Properties Group

MARYVILLE, Tenn., (April 9, 2018) – Clayton Properties Group®, a division of Clayton Home Building Group®, a Berkshire Hathaway company and one of America’s largest homebuilders, today announced it has acquired Brohn Homes, one of Austin, Texas’ largest privately-owned homebuilders.

Brothers Adam Boenig, co-president, and Aaron Boenig, co-president, founded Brohn Homes in 2003 as a custom home building business. Recognized for its innovation in design and architecture, Brohn Homes differentiates itself by providing unprecedented designs, quality craftsmanship and unparalleled value to its customer base.

The company experienced tremendous organic growth since its inception, doubling in size from 2003 – 2007. Following the housing downturn in 2008, Adam and Aaron transitioned the company from a custom home builder to a production builder. In 2017 Brohn Homes started 254 homes, sold 270 and closed 253 homes in 12 communities. In 2018, Brohn Homes anticipates selling approximately 400 homes in 13 communities.

“After over a decade of building homes as a privately held company, we are thrilled to join Clayton and become a part of their impressive homebuilding company,” said Adam Boenig. “We look forward to continuing our momentum of growth and innovation through this strategic partnership.”

Clayton’s emphasis on team member experience and culture was one of the many reasons the partnership made sense to the Boenig brothers.

“Adam and I were looking for a partner whose business philosophy focused on its people and culture first,” said Aaron Boenig. “When we met Clayton’s leadership team, we instantly realized that our philosophies and company structures align seamlessly. We knew that this partnership was something our team members could get excited about.”
