/ About Us

TRUE TO OURSELVES

Our founder, President and Design Team Leader, Michael Markel
says it well.

Markel Homes was founded on the belief that good design is a way of thinking, seeing and doing things. We think design first: authentic design, smart design… TrueDesign. Always have.

When you work with our team, you will experience our passion for design, every time, and with every one at Markel Homes.

Our insistence on TrueDesign goes back to our roots and the personal passion of our founder, Michael Markel. With Michael continuing at the helm, and with the support of our loyal staff who are passionate and committed to the company – we are in our fifth decade as a leader in Colorado’s home building industry. As a family-owned business, we make our own decisions about where to put our energy, attention and resources.

TrueDesign means honoring every relationship by extending respect, appreciation and intentionality because we know trust is the most important thing we can build – for both our buyers and our Markel team. This also means having a sense of shared aspirations with all our relationships – because that is where TrueDesign opportunities begin.

TrueDesign in everything we do – because it is who we are.

Building Process

Building a Better Tomorrow

As a local home builder in Boulder County for over 50 years, we are dedicated to amplifying the missions of the crucial organizations in our community. Markel Homes is proud to support the work of TGTHR & YWCA Boulder County.

TGTHR is a Colorado nonprofit fighting to end youth homelessness. Homelessness is more than lack of shelter – it’s the lack of safety, comfort, security, and value. These are the principles we help build every day for our homebuyers and are the principles that TGTHR extends to our youth experiencing homelessness. Learn More

YWCA Boulder County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Since 1922, YWCA has been at the forefront of local social movements, and their work has evolved to meet the needs of underserved populations in our community. Learn More
