I live in the Estates of Willow Crest here in Plano. I was the first to purchase a home here and the builder was Portrait Homes. Just recently, Portrait had to file bankruptcy and am delighted to say that CB Jeni will come and complete the neighborhood.
I was concerned considering there are 15 specs on the ground and were with the bank, but now the community will hopefully get back to normal with CB Jeni coming in.
Portrait Homes is an alternate brand of Pasquinelli Homes, a Chicago, Illinois based homebuilding company, founded in 1956 by brothers Bruno and Tony Pasquinelli. It was the 5th largest privately owned homebuilding company in the United States (per number of units sold) according to Builder Magazine’s 2007 Builder 100 report.
Portrait Homes initially built only in the Chicago area under the name Pasquinelli Homes, but expanded to the Charlotte, North Carolina market under the name Portrait Homes in 1988. Since that time, the Portrait Homes brand has expanded to markets in South Carolina, Indiana, Texas, Ohio, Georgia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
In 2009 Portrait Homes had stopped operations in the Greensboro and Charlotte, North Carolina, and Texas markets.
Bruno Pasquinelli will be the owner and builder of CB Jeni, named after his children, and will be hopefully having identical product to save the community. Way to go Bruno!
