Corman Leigh

About us

A Temecula-based developer and homebuilder working across Southern California. Here is who runs it, what the company does, and what it has built.

The most experienced team we could put in a room.

Corman Leigh Companies is focused on delivering the highest levels of service and value to its customers and investment partners. With operations in California, Colorado and Nevada, the company has produced numerous award-winning projects, including recognition as Builder of the Year several times over.

It began with the vision of founder Daniel R. Leigh, whose real estate roots trace back to the mid-eighties. Location and land use planning that sits in line with market and jurisdictional realities are what make a development work, and the company has never pretended otherwise.

The rewards of a successful development can be found in properties that face a variety of challenges, not only in the ones that don't.

Underutilization, functional obsolescence, distressed economics, public resistance: where others see obstacles, the work has been to see the issue clearly, craft a strategy, execute, and pull out the diamond in the rough.

Meet Dan Leigh

Three decades on, the company he started is still building within an hour of where it began.

Dan Leigh founded Corman Leigh and still runs it. The company builds in Bonsall, Murrieta and Temecula, and the way he goes about a deal has not changed much since the first one. His own account of how it began, including the parts that did not go to plan, is worth reading.
