Testimonials

The Empire Group has a rare talent for turning difficult projects into enormous success stories. They are as sophisticated as a larger development entity but they are small enough to maintain the focus that allows them to consistently reward their investors.

Founder & Managing Member | Lifestyle Homes

I have worked with Shelby Duplessis as my representative from The Empire Group for years, but more recently in attempting to get a 27-acre parcel ready for building. Shelby has been honest, straight-forward, creative and absolutely tireless in working with me.

VICKI HUNT
Peoria City Councilmember

Developments are not just plans on paper, but the future for families and communities for years to come. The Empire Group has been in the valley for more than 35 years and have built a reputation as leaders in the industry.

MICHELLE R. HESS
Executive Director Leadership West and City of Buckeye Councilwoman

The Empire Group is positioned perfectly to offer all of the services and controls of some of the alternative investment market’s bigger real estate sponsors, but nimble enough to be opportunistic and selective in their strategies/projects.
