With a reputation for designing and building distinctive homes that embrace the southern Arizona lifestyle, La Quinta Building Company is Tucson's premiere boutique home builder. La Quinta Building Company emphasizes a unique style, gives personal attention to every client, and provides services including site selection and analysis, architectural design and construction, as well as custom furnishings and finishes. We work with skilled professionals and craftsmen in southern Arizona and Mexico to provide detailed touches exclusive to your project.

In 1968 a very talented designer, Howard Franks, founded La Quinta Homes with his building partner and general contractor, Bart Marshall. Together they built quality custom homes in the Catalina foothills for more than thirty years. Their reputation was based on integrity, honesty, and a commitment to many satisfied clients. Michael Franks was inspired by his father's work and at an early age, developed a passion for architectural design and building. While earning his degree in architecture at Arizona State University, he designed many of the homes that his father built.

With an intimate knowledge of the Sonoran Desert and the natural terrain of the greater Tucson Valley, La Quinta can help you find your perfect site and extensively analyze the opportunities and limitations it presents in order to identify the best locations for your home. Our designers and contractors work closely with Seaver Franks Architects to work through all decisions about details during the building process to ensure that the finished home maintains the integrity of the original design concepts.
