Custom luxury home builders in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Biltmore, Phoenix Valley and surrounding areas

Build an Accessory Dwelling Unit that becomes a visual asset, not just an additional space.

Luxury homeowners want more than extra space—they want a structure that enhances the property’s architecture, boosts functionality, and feels like it was always meant to be there.

Your ADU should add beauty, function, and long-term value...

not be a “tacked-on” structure that clashes with the home’s aesthetic or feels lower in quality than the main residence. At Emery Lane Homes, we design and build luxury ADUs that blend stunning architecture with high-end functionality for guests, family, or flexible lifestyle needs.

There are many reasons why homeowners want an ADU

But none of it matters if it diminishes the property’s aesthetic appeal. That’s why our mission is to create ADUs that look intentional and offer luxury-grade functionality.

Truly a remarkable company. The attention to details is an understatement. Quality is definitely the norm and price is not apart of the equation. From the moment you sit down and begin your relationship with them, you feel at ease and just know you are in amazing hands. From exceptional customer service to rock solid hands on work ethics, I cannot recommend them more. Until the next project to be completed, I can’t wait.

I built a custom home with Emery Lane Homes in 2020. I decided to sell that home, and am in the process of building my second home with them! The process is so smooth and the team was really professional and easy to work with. I could not recommend them enough!

Emery Lane Homes & Development has been an incredible company to work with! They designed and built us an incredible home, connected us with various vendors and organized warranty repairs. Paul, on the warranty team, is quick to respond and always remedied any issues we had ASAP. Couldn’t recommend them more!

As with any new custom build, issues come up. The organization worked with us fairly to resolve all issues. The final mile is also the toughest part, Emery’s QA/QC specialist, Paul worked with us to bring things to completion. I would recommend them if you are considering taking on a monumental project like this.

Paul Drake has been fantastic to work with. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about helping homeowners. When we had a water leak from our roof, Paul even assisted us outside of business hours, which gave us great peace of mind during a stressful situation. His professionalism and dedication to customer service are outstanding. We greatly appreciate all of his help.
