Our Story
Cresleigh Homes History
With an undergraduate degree in civil engineering from U. C. Berkeley and a Master of Science degree from MIT, Lawrence Lui launched Cresleigh Homes Corporation in 1991. Cresleigh has been constructing new homes in the Sacramento Metropolitan Area continuously for over 35 years.
Following three years of successful homebuilding throughout the Sacramento region, Cresleigh Homes expanded into the Arizona market in 1994. Our entry into the Texas market followed in 2012, and we continue to create exciting and successful new communities in all three states.
In 2012, Cresleigh Homes entered the Northern California multi-family housing market with Adora, a luxury townhome community in Roseville, followed by Towpath Village in Napa. In 2015, Cresleigh’s next multifamily community, Pearl Creek, was constructed, also in Roseville, followed by Garnet Creek in Rocklin, HUB in Folsom, and most recently, SoCo, marking our second Napa community.
In 2019, Cresleigh began seeking out urban, transit-oriented sites and acquired 2918 Mission, making it the first San Francisco project for the company. 2025 marked a major milestone for the company with the groundbreaking of Sierra Park. A 450-unit community in Rocklin, CA.
Most recently, Cresleigh celebrated the re-approval of a re-envisioned mixed-use community in the heart of downtown Campbell, nestled in Silicon Valley. This thoughtfully redesigned project reflects our continued expansion across a diverse range of residential product types - from single-family homes and walk-up apartments, to mid-rise mixed-use communities.
Across every product type, Cresleigh remains committed to the same founding principle that has guided us since 1991: we build each home like our own.
What Sets Us Apart
We Build Each Home Like Our Own
We build the place you call home, the home where you build a lifetime of memories. Within each Cresleigh neighborhood, you'll find homes thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of any generation and any lifestyle, with style, livability, and reliability at their core. Every Cresleigh team member is passionate about building a home you can rely on and a home that helps you to focus on what truly matters: creating memories with the people you love.
In building our homes, we care for the families who live in our homes, for the team of people who build them, for the land, and for the community we’re proud to be a part of. There’s something else you might notice about our communities, all have Cresleigh in their names. We are so proud of the homes we build, we stamp our name on it.
Decades of National Experience - The Heart & Soul of a Local Builder
Since Cresleigh’s founding in 1991, our team has designed, built, and delivered over four thousand homes nationwide.
