WELCOME TO
LUXOR HOMES

Luxor Homes is a family owned custom homebuilding company that was founded in 2001. Gary Haarer, who founded Luxor Homes together with his wife and three adult children, has been building homes in the Phoenix market since 1976

During its first fifteen years, Luxor Homes has delivered more than sixty-five custom homes in North Scottsdale as well as many casitas, wine rooms, home gyms, rec rooms, additional garages and other major additions to existing homes making us one of the largest builders of custom homes in Scottsdale. Luxor Homes has designed and built homes ranging from 3,500 to 8,000 square feet. The Luxor team is highly experienced in working with customers to turn their dreams into reality. Each of us has built multiple custom homes for our personal use so we have all “walked a mile in your shoes”! Luxor maintains an 8,000 square foot fully decorated custom model home that is designed to help buyers visualize the end product.

Luxor Homes has completed the design and structural engineering in-house for most of the homes it has built making it a great one-stop-shop for people wanting to design and build a custom home. We complete the design and engineering at well below market rates which results in great savings for our customers. We also competitively bid and build homes for customers who come to us with a plan designed by their architect.

In addition to its building activities, Luxor Homes has developed two custom home communities, Sonoran Crest, with fifty-eight custom home sites and Estates at Miramonte with twelve custom home sites. Both communities are contiguous to Troon in north Scottsdale with a typical drive time from the 101 loop of fifteen to eighteen minutes. There are still a few premium, three-acre, mountainside, custom lots available at Estates at Miramonte with breathtaking views from a nearly 3,000 foot elevation.

In addition to building in communities that it has developed, Luxor Homes has built on lots owned by individuals in many other custom homes communities in north Scottsdale and Fountain Hills. The Luxor Homes team stays current on all available custom lots for sale in the area and helps many of its customers locate and acquire their ideal lot.

Our goal at Luxor Homes is to make the design and building process of your new home as exciting and rewarding for our customers as it is for us.

Steve Cyr joined Luxor Homes in 2003, and has a BS degree in business from the University of Chico California. His early start in home building began his sophomore year in high school where he was part of a roofing crew, loading and installing clay and concrete tiles throughout his summer break. This was his first time around new construction and really enjoyed the whole process of seeing a home go from sticks and bricks to a polished finished product. Steve’s duties are spread out like most small businesses and are responsible for the development of new business, budgets, purchasing, and project management. I look forward to many more years with the Luxor team, where we turn our client’s dreams into homes.
