Watt Communities is managed by a talented team of professionals with a passion for building new home neighborhoods from entry-level and workforce housing to high-end luxury residences. Established in 2000, Watt Communities has an ongoing commitment to Ray Watt’s tradition of creating companies that are entrepreneurial, innovative and disciplined. Originally conceived as a Los Angeles-based, infill homebuilding unit, Watt Communities has grown into a regional, residential development company.
From the corporate office in Santa Monica, California, operations were expanded into California’s Central Coast in 2002, with the acquisition of the Arborwalk development in Santa Maria. A Bay Area office was established in Danville, California in 2004, with the acquisition of developments in Rohnert Park, South San Francisco and Salinas.
Watt Communities is highly regarded in the home building industry as a premium quality builder. Watt’s core values have not changed in more than half a century, and Ray Watt’s devotion to integrity, responsibility and fairness continue to serve Watt Communities and its home buyers. Watt Communities is widely recognized by industry leaders, financial institutions, and the brokerage community for its expertise in community entitlements, land acquisition and development, home building operations, and financial management.
