2025: A Year for The Books
/Two significant things happened in 2025 that seemed like the culmination of everyone’s hard work—and recognition of our accomplishments as a premier homebuilder: On the inside, Guild Craft Builder celebrated ten great years building some amazing homes. It’s a remarkable achievement, certainly in no small part for the trust that our clients put in us, but much credit goes to our team, everyone from the office to the field, that made it happen everyday with their can-do enthusiasm. Outwardly, we were privileged that our Palo Alto residence became the cover story in the September-October issue of Luxe magazine. Recognition not only for the architecture and design, but a reflection of the craft and construction. Following the September publication, Guild Craft Builder was named as an honoree in Luxe Magazine’s Gold List 26, with the issue set to release in January—another feather in the company’s proverbial hat for the year.
2025 was a good chapter in our company’s story—let’s see what 2026 will write!
