New off-site building program offers customers the ability to construct their new home outside of an existing Drees community.

Drees Homes, Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, on Wednesday announced it will now offer Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky home buyers the opportunity to build on their own lot in a custom community or via an infill opportunity in historical neighborhoods.

Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, where the company builds more then 550 homes per year, have served as the company’s busiest among its 12 divisions. Due to customer requests, Drees extended its local offerings to provide additional possibilities.

“The new off-site building program offers customers the ability to construct their new home outside of an existing Drees community," said Ben Taylor, general manager. "This even includes land that a customer owns or infill situations where our knowledge of available lots meets their lifestyle and location needs.”

Redevelopment opportunities in neighborhoods such Hyde Park and Oakley in Cincinnati and Fort Mitchell and Fort Thomas in Kentucky are expected to draw new interest and excitement among prospects.

Midwest Regional President stated, “The Build on Your Lot offering is a significant contributor to the sales and profitability of Drees divisions located in other parts of the country, and we’re excited about the potential it brings in Greater Cincinnati," said Steve Tuckerman, Midwest regional president.

The company said the new program is an effort to compete more directly with small custom home builders and will offer many valuable advantages to the consumer, such as a one-stop selection process and a more efficient construction timeline.
