For more than two decades, Shawn Hicks has been building more than structures—she has been building communities, opportunity, and generational impact.

Long before becoming a custom home builder, Shawn established herself as a respected real estate developer, leading large-scale mixed-use, multifamily, and community revitalization projects across multiple states. Over her career, she has helped develop and manage thousands of housing units and oversee hundreds of millions in public and private investment.

Today, she brings that same vision to custom home building alongside her daughter, Denisha Garland, an architect, uniting development expertise with intentional design.

For Shawn, it was never just about numbers—it has always been about people, purpose, and creating places families are proud to call home.
