For over three decades, optima has been developing, designing and building some of the most striking urban and suburban luxury residential communities in Chicago and Phoenix. The company's founder, award-winning architect David C. Hovey FAIA, believes the best way to achieve "total quality control" is to direct and manage every phase of the development, design and construction processes.

Complete Capabilities under One Roof

Optima carefully considers, manages and controls the thousands of details that go into creating a distinctive quality home . . . that is what makes an optima home something you will value from the day you move in. With a focus on creating powerful cost efficiencies that enable us to be more responsive to the marketplace and the discerning personal tastes of our homeowners, optima handles all aspects of development, design and construction in-house. We are proud to call over 100 professionals — AIA and LEED-certified architects, expert construction managers, sophisticated real estate brokers, experienced accountants and financial analysts — part of the optima family. They all contribute to delivering an unparalleled spectrum of services and communities.

Commitment to Design and Environmental Excellence

While each optima project is very distinctive and customized to its physical location, there are shared aesthetics that have become hallmarks of our architectural vision: strong geometric shapes, simple details reflecting the inherent beauty of quality building materials, large expanses of glass, and open, flexible floor plans. Even the way each building sits on its site is carefully considered to optimize the building's beauty and functionality. We are committed to promoting advances in sustainable building design and construction - green building - by integrating innovative selections, finishes and solutions into the master planning and creative development, including LEED, BIM and Virtual Building Technologies. The result makes optima elite. . . and our homes state-of-the-art: environmentally, aesthetically and structurally.

We invite you to visit one of our properties and see why optima is the nationally-recognized recipient of over 30 prestigious Awards, distinguishing us at the vanguard of development and design. Our remarkable growth will continue to be earmarked by offering beautiful homes and living spaces priced to deliver tremendous value and satisfaction.
