New Organization, New Leadership, New Communities, Amazing Opportunities from Dan Ryan Builders!

New Organization

Dan Ryan Builders has been part of the Charleston homebuilding landscape since 2006. However, the Dan Ryan Builders brand in 2006 or even 2016 does not reflect the current culture, product or evolution of the builder today.

Since Dan Ryan Builders was founded in 1990, the company has generally been a very value driven builder. In 2016, Sumitomo Forestry Co. Ltd., parent company of Sumitomo Forestry America, Inc. purchased a majority share of Dan Ryan Builders and its corporate entity which was the start of a period of exciting changes. Under the direction of long-time senior vice president and now, chief operations officer, Ronny Salameh, the culture of the organization changed to offer first move-up and estate homes known for their design and quality of construction.  Additionally, the organization grew exponentially within its existing footprint and added two additional builders to the portfolio. In 2018, the company launched Elevate Homes (55+ Active Adult) and added Fielding Homes (Luxury Estate Homes). At the same time, the three brands were consolidated under a single organization, DRB Group. The legacy communities bought and built under the previous culture are nearly completed and now, DRB Group can offer customers a taste of the new Dan Ryan Builders and soon, Elevate Homes.
 

DRB Group locally announced plans to bring their 55+ Builder, Elevate Homes to the market in early 2020. Elevate Homes offers a refreshing alternative to current and existing age-restricted communities, inviting home shoppers to maximize their lives with the "right size" home rather than downsizing. It’s an active adult lifestyle that's been missing so far: exceptional homes, extraordinary included features, unique "elevate room" options, plus amenities, all at an affordable price. Elevate Homes designs all include a 2-car garage and range from 1,626 to 3,900+ square feet with 2 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 4 baths.

The first Elevate Homes community is slated for gorgeous Cane Bay in Summerville, SC. This master planned community offers the convenience of onsite retail shopping, dining and medical services, along with 15 miles of trails and six ponds. Cane Bay is just minutes from historic downtown Summerville and Town Square with its upscale boutiques and one of-a-kind restaurants. Homeowners in Cane Bay enjoy the Summerville Concert Series and Farmer’s Market, the annual “Sculpture in the South” Exhibit and Sale, and the “Flowertown Festival” held in Azalea Park - one of the most beautiful parks in the Lowcountry. Other Summerville outings include the July 4th “Red, White and Blue” celebration, October's “Scarecrows on the Square” and December's festive “Holly Days.”

 

New Leadership

The DRB Group (DRB Group) has added local talented leadership to the Charleston branch of the organization.  With a new direction in leadership that mirrors the company’s core values, the Charleston Division is focused on creating relationships with homebuyers that are built on trust and integrity. Joining as Division President, local leader, Michael Boyle joined the DRB Group in early 2019.  With over two decades of previous homebuilding leadership for Top Ten National homebuilders, Mike brings a wealth of expertise and knowledge to the Charleston Division of DRB Group.  Having lived and worked in the Charleston area since 2004, he has formed extensive local industry relationships. Living local means that he knows what homebuyers want and need in the Charleston area.  This local flavor, coupled with expertise, is already resulting in positive changes for the employees, trade partners and customers of DRB Group Charleston. Joining DRB Group was a natural choice for Mike as his personal commitment to creating lasting value for homebuyers is in perfect alignment with DRB Groups' mission and core values.

Along with Mike, the Charleston Division leadership team brings over 100 years combined experience in homebuilding. DRB Group and Dan Ryan Builders understands that purchasing a home is the largest investment most people ever make, but more than that, it is a life changing decision that deserves a strong commitment to the homebuyer. The entire team at DRB Group Charleston pledges to treat all homebuyers with respect, communicate transparently, and to deliver a quality home in a desirable community, creating lasting value for all homeowners.
