Lewis Group of Companies

As the Lewis Group of Companies begins its 62nd year, many long-tenured employees under the direction of a second and third generation management team continue the tradition of quality, integrity and stability that was of paramount importance to Ralph and Goldy Lewis when they founded their home building firm in Claremont in 1955.

Strict adherence to this philosophy has resulted in the development of more than 57,000 homes, approximately 11,000 apartments and 19 million square feet of retail, office, and industrial space.

Since 1955, the Lewis organization has developed new communities in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, totaling in excess of 25,000 acres and housing more than 88,000 families.

In 1999, the Lewis family sold a portion of its business, Lewis Homes, to Kaufman and Broad (KB Home), creating the largest homebuilder in the United States at that time.
