Highland Homes was founded in 1985 by brother and sister team Rod Sanders and Jean Ann Brock. The company has grown quickly since then and now builds 1,800 homes a year in the Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio markets. Highland has remained a family-owned business and has won many industry awards, including consistently high rankings by J.D. Power and Associates and a 2009 Excellence in Energy Performance Award from Oncor Electric Delivery for building 28% percent above minimum ENERGY STAR® specifications.
