A Family Tradition: The Generations Behind Grant & Co.

March 4, 2025

For over 75 years, Grant & Co. has been more than just a home building company—it has been a legacy of dedication, craftsmanship and family values. From humble beginnings to becoming one of the most respected names in home construction in the Mid-South, they have evolved with each generation at Grant & Co.—incorporating fresh ideas while staying true to their core mission: building quality homes for families. 

The Strength of a Multi-Generational Business

At the heart of Grant & Co. is family. Unlike national home builders, where decisions can feel distant and corporate-driven, every aspect of the company is personal. 

“Since we work for a family, family is important to our company,” the Grant & Co. team shares. “We strive every day to make sure we put God first, family second and our company third in all decisions we make.” This deeply rooted commitment to faith and family has been the guiding principle that influences every home the team builds. 

The Evolution of a Legacy

With each new generation, Grant & Co. has grown, adapted and embraced new challenges, and they’ve recently welcomed their fourth-generation builder, Conner Grant, with the launch of Conner Grant Homes, LLC. 

“Every generation has brought in new innovations, ideals, dreams and progressive strategies to make the company better and more efficient while providing an excellent customer experience,” the team explains. This evolution has allowed Grant & Co. to stay ahead of the industry while preserving the values that set them apart. 

Lessons Passed Down Through Generations

Some lessons stand the test of time, and for Grant & Co., integrity remains at the forefront of their business. 

“Integrity is the most important part of being successful. Customer satisfaction is our ultimate goal, no matter what. Giving back is one of the most important things that we do,” they emphasize. These principles shape not only the way they build homes but also how they interact with their employees, customers and community. 

The Rewards and Challenges of a Family Business

Working alongside family members comes with unique dynamics, but for Grant & Co., it has been one of their main advantages. 

“Every member of the Grant family has a vested interest in making sure that all employees are doing well—not only in their business lives but also in their personal lives,” the team shares. Every decision is made with the entire Grant & Co. family in mind, ensuring that both employees and customers feel valued and supported, no matter what. 

Building Homes with Families in Mind

For Grant & Co., building homes is more than just a business—it’s a responsibility. 

“All families look different, and they all have special needs or circumstances that require each home to be unique to that family in some way,” they explain. This perspective drives the company to create diverse home plans that accommodate a variety of lifestyles, ensuring that every family finds a home that truly fits their needs. 

Looking to the Future

As Grant & Co. moves forward, innovation remains a key focus. The company is excited about multi-use developments—walkable communities that blend residential, retail and entertainment spaces. Their newest project, Union Depot in Bartlett, TN, is the company’s first venture into this modern community concept, allowing homebuyers to live in a community that includes restaurants, retail establishments and entertainment—all walkable from their home. At the same time, tradition remains a cornerstone of Grant & Co.’s success. 

“We will always maintain our core values of pursuing excellence, serving our community in a manner that honors Christ and continually expressing gratitude while also listening to our homebuyers’ to know what they need and want in their new homes,” the team affirms. By blending time-honored values with forward-thinking strategies, the company continues to build not just homes, but lasting communities. 

Continued Success With the Next Generations

For those stepping into the family business, the advice is simple yet powerful: “Expect to work hard and smart. Expect to always be learning and growing. Surround yourself with good people that add to our company culture. The best answer is not always the right answer—choose the right thing to do.”

With a strong foundation and a future shaped by new generations, Grant & Co. continues its journey, providing that a family business built on integrity, innovation and tradition is truly built to last.
