Thorndike Development

A tradition of excellence

Building New England Neighborhoods For More Than Forty Years.

Thorndike Development is Massachusetts' leading locally owned fully integrated residential design, development, and construction firm. Since 1983, Thorndike has been building quality homes and neighborhoods at every price point. We believe first and foremost in building communities that encourage its owners to become neighbors and allow our developments to become neighborhoods.

a builder you can trust

Few decisions that we make impact us more than the neighborhood in which we choose to live and the house we choose to call home.  For these reasons, Thorndike has developed an inter-disciplinary approach to development.  Design, permitting, land development, home construction, sales and customer service are all done in-house.  The only finger pointing we get to do is at ourselves.

the gold standard for excellence in new england

Thorndike Development has been delivering qualities homes and creating new neighborhoods in Greater Boston continuously for more than forty years. Thorndike is the proud recipient of more than forty-five national and regional awards for excellence including Best in the Nation honors on three different occasions.

commitment to customer service

We know that when things are not quite right, it can drive you nuts. That is why we have a separate customer service department run by a Thorndike team with decades of experience solving customer service problems.  Big or small, they are here to address items that come up once you own your home.
