SPOTLIGHT: CAMPBELL HOMES
Campbell Homes’ President Mel Shade celebrates 40 years with the company SPONSORED FEATURE
There are many pieces to the puzzle of top-quality homes, and one of those pieces is outstanding management. Campbell Homes’ President Mel Shade is celebrating 40 years with the company, which is a testament to his home building expertise and excellent leadership. Campbell Homes specializes in building beautiful homes for residents throughout the Pikes Peak region and has done so since the 1960’s. Shade joined the organization in 1977. “A lot has changed in home building since I started, but it’s been amazing to watch the city grow and to continually improve the quality of our homes,” said Shade. He moved to Colorado Springs in 1962, got married to his wife of 54 years in 1963 and began working for a concrete company in 1964. In 1977 he was hired by Campbell Homes’ founder Jon Campbell, and he’s been with the company ever since. He began by overseeing the foundations for homes, thereafter was appointed as field supervisor, and later moved into the office to prepare paperwork and construction schedules for job superintendents to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of all home builds. “There have been a lot of ups and downs in the housing industry over the past 40 years, but we’ve always been able to weather the storm and maintain our high-caliber reputation,” said Shade. On May 1, 2006 Shade and two
other partners, all of whom are native to Colorado, bought the company from Jon Campbell, and the three of them have been growing the company since. While Shade continues to handle distribution of paperwork for construction sites, partner and CEO Randy Deming handles sales and marketing and partner and CFO Mike Hausman manages the financial and land acquisition side. “The company continues to expand, and business is as good as I’ve ever seen it,” said Shade. “We like to have happy home buyers and are committed to turning out quality products.” As El Paso county’s oldest locallyowner home building company, Campbell Homes promises to treat their customers’ homes with utmost care and dedication. Named “Builder of the Year” three times by the Housing and Building Association of Colorado Springs for continued service and contributions to the community and commitments to the housing industry, Campbell Homes prides itself on being a fantastic builder and a good neighbor. “Much of our success as a builder can be attributed to our loyal and talented subcontractors and suppliers. We’re happy to say that we’ve maintained long-standing relationships with our tradespeople and they share our passion for quality construction,” said Shade. Exemplary service has been a cornerstone of Campbell Homes and
has created customers for life with many of them on their second and even third purchase of a Campbell Home. With homes starting from the $300’s and 22 ranch and two-story plans to choose from, customers are afforded with near-endless options. The beautiful open concept floor plans are highly customizable to fit the unique needs of each buyer, and range from 2300 to 4500 square feet. Location is key when it comes to real estate, which is why Campbell Homes builds in some of the most sought-after communities in northern Colorado Springs. Whether you would like to enjoy the trails and heated outdoor swimming pool at Cordera; the low maintenance advantage of patio homes at Hidden Brook at North Fork; the small-town vibe and lively recreation of Meridian Ranch; the stylish comfort and convenience of Quail Brush Creek; or the high demand location of Monument’s Village Center at Woodmoor, Campbell has the perfect lot reserved just for you. “People want options — and we provide them. We assist our clients in choosing the right neighborhood, selecting an optimal lot, picking a desired plan, and within that offering customization options for each and every room to handcraft the ideal home,” said Shade.
