In February 2023, Academy Development unveiled refreshed branding that better aligns with its parent brand, Camillo Companies. The new look includes a revitalized set of colors and logo that reflects Academy’s connection to Camillo Companies and its affiliate brands, Legend Homes and SimplyHome.


Academy development looks to the future under new parent brand


Founded in 1989, Academy Development is one of the largest private land development companies in Texas. Throughout its 30-plus years in business, Academy has developed more than 50 communities across the Lone Star State. 

 

This enduring heritage has fueled the growth of Camillo Companies' residential building operations, including build-to-rent innovator SimplyHome and new construction homes operation Legend Homes. Through this partnership, Academy Development creates communities that support Camillo Companies’ shared purpose of bringing home ownership within reach for all. 

 

In spring 2023, Academy Development, Legend Homes, and SimplyHome announced they would operate under the newly created parent brand, Camillo Companies. This strategic unification will streamline operations that will provide more value and better customer experiences. 

 

Part of this historic alignment includes a brand refresh and refocus for all three affiliates. Now, with fresh sets of logos, colors, and branding, the connections between Academy Development, Legend Homes, and SimplyHome are stronger than ever — and united under a singular vision for the future championed by Camillo Companies.


What's next for academy development


Academy Development’s integrated approach to community development and homebuilding unlocks significant product enhancements for customers while maintaining superior quality in markets around the region, from Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth to San Antonio and beyond. 


Moving forward, the team at Academy will continue to work closely with teams across Camillo Companies affiliate brands at every step of the design and development process. This commitment to cross-function collaboration ensures that communities are thoughtfully designed, beautifully connected, and carefully maintained.
