WELCOME TO EMERY LANE
MEET OUR TEAM
Emery Lane is not a place but a feeling.
The name Emery Lane was created by co-founder Chad Klock.
A South Dakota native, Emery is the name of the small town where Chad grew up. It’s a tight-knit, small community where everyone knows each other and relationships are formed to last a lifetime. When trying to decide on a name for their newest venture, it was Chad who suggested Emery Lane Homes, as he wanted the brand to evoke the same honest, small-town feel of where he was raised.
Whether it’s a remodel or new build, Emery Lane creates homes that honor neighborhoods with impeccable craftsmanship that are designed for the lifestyle of the modern family. Which is why we want all our clients to “live life on the lane”.
