Land Acquisition

Williams Corporation is committed to building 400 high-quality homes per year and has strong growth plans to exceed this going forward. With 35 new homes every month, land-acquisition is a key component of the process. If you have a site that meets our criteria, talk to us today.

How it Works

Review

We review your site to determine whether it’s suitable. You can check below to see if your site meets our criteria.

Purchase

We always pay at or above fair market value for your site, as well as referral fees for purchased sites on a case-by-case basis.

Transform

We buy your site and transform it into 5–50 townhouses. As we build 400 homes a year, we buy 4 sites every month.
