WILTON — Trojanski Builders, a custom home construction company based in Saratoga Springs, has begun work on a new neighborhood of high-end homes in Wilton called Grande Highlands.
The neighborhood is located off Edie Road and will feature custom homes, with owner Dave Trojanski saying houses are built to meet the needs of the homeowners. Trojanski Builders has also developed a similar neighborhood, Rose Terrace, located a short drive away off Louden Road.
“It’s a custom development, so all the homes are custom,” said Trojanski. “We basically meet with each homeowner and design the house to meet their needs. It’s all done on an individual basis.”
Trojanski said the neighborhood will consist of 38 custom homes, each with lots of roughly one acre. He said prices will start around $800,000.
“We’re actually building one in there, and we’ve applied for two more permits,” Trojanski said. “I think we have seven contracts in there right now.”
Grande Highlands is located in the Town of Wilton and the Wilton tax base, and receives water from the town. The neighborhood is located in the Saratoga Springs City School District and comes with Saratoga Springs addresses.
“It’s Wilton tax base for the town, which is a big plus,” said Trojanski. “And Saratoga schools. That definitely sparks interest.”
Trojanski Builders is a family-owned company, with Trojanski saying he works alongside his wife, Sarah, who is the head of sales for the company’s developments, and nephew Josh Thomas.
Trojanski said he expects the neighborhood will take roughly five years to build out, and said sale prices for the neighborhood so far have ranged between $800,000 and $1.6 million.
Although he noted that the construction process has been slowed due to labor shortages and increased cost of materials, Trojanski said business has been “steady” for the company.
“We haven’t really seen a downturn,” said Trojanski. “Our intention, in a couple of months, is to have an open house there. … We’re pretty happy with the way it is.”
