Vaughan, Ontario, July 14, 2025 – Empire Communities, one of North America’s largest privately held homebuilders, is proud to announce its rebrand to Empire Homes. The name change marks a natural evolution for the company—one that puts home at the centre of everything it does and reaffirms its role as a trusted partner in the homebuying journey.
As part of the agreement, Sunrun will serve as a “one-stop shop” to provide solar as a standard feature in all Toll Brothers communities in California, including sales, design, permitting, installation, customer care, and warranty. Sunrun also provides home buyers with the choice of a third-party battery storage system, including EnPhase or the Tesla Powerwall 3, to integrate with their provided residential solar system.
With over 30 years of experience, Empire Homes has helped thousands of homeowners take meaningful steps forward. Whether upsizing, downsizing, buying for the first time, or putting down roots in a new city, the company is grounded in one purpose: to guide growth every step of the way.
Empire’s evolution is guided by the belief that home is a catalyst for growth—for individuals, families, and communities. That’s why every home is built with care, designed for how people live today and into the future, and backed by a customer experience that supports you through every step of the homebuying journey and what comes after.
The brand refresh includes a new visual identity, updated messaging, and an enhanced digital experience—including a wholly revamped website—that bring this vision to life. What remains constant is the company’s dedication to attainable housing, quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and creating places where people feel a sense of belonging.
Empire Homes continues to build across key markets in Canada and the U.S., with a focus on communities that prioritize livability, connection, and long-term value.
