M/I Homes

M/I Homes has been a prominent name in the homebuilding industry since its founding in 1976 by Irving and Melvin Schottenstein in Columbus, Ohio. Initially starting as a developer of apartments and one of the first golf course communities in Central Ohio, the company quickly ascended to become the region's top homebuilder. In 1981, M/I Homes expanded its footprint to Tampa, Florida, and subsequently to Orlando, followed by a strategic push into North Carolina, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis during the late 1980s. By 1993, M/I Homes went public and made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange, marking a significant milestone alongside the sale of its 10,000th home the following year.

Under the leadership of CEO Robert Schottenstein, who took the helm in 2003, M/I Homes continued its trajectory of growth while receiving accolades for exceptional customer service, particularly in its Columbus and Tampa divisions. The 2010s saw the company extend its reach further into Texas and establish a new division in Minneapolis, with the opening of its 15th division in Detroit, Michigan in 2018. In 2020, M/I Homes relocated its corporate headquarters to Easton Town Center in Columbus.

The company is renowned for its unwavering commitment to building homes of outstanding quality and superior design, exemplified by its Whole Home Building Standards and industry-leading Transferable Structural Warranty. M/I Homes caters to a diverse clientele, including first-time buyers, move-up, luxury, and empty nester purchasers. To date, M/I Homes has successfully fulfilled the dreams of over 150,000 homeowners across its expansive market presence in 17 divisions, ensuring that every home reflects the highest standard of craftsmanship and innovation. Through M/I Financial, the company also provides tailored financial services to facilitate home purchases, further cementing its status as a leading force in the housing market.
