Share Something: A Developer's Perspective
Stephen J. Gillis, Gillis Homes

"Residential developers need to look for ways to benchmark their development, operations, marketing, and sales.  Sharing information on a regional and national level helps you find the standard in the industry and allows you to work to exceed it.  I benchmark my operations with like kind development companies across the nation and utilize PrimeTime Communities' base line data collected for communities they represent.  The approach pushes us to be better at delivering  homes to our customers." 

 

Gillis Homes, Inc. is a company specializing in the development of custom home subdivisions and active adult condominium communities throughout Massachusetts. Formally known as J&CSG Corp, Gillis Homes was founded in 1985 by Stephen J. Gillis and the late Charles R. Gillis, Sr.  Since then, Gillis Homes has built more than 700 single-family homes and active adult condominium residences.
