About Us

Azori is a luxury home builder founded in Bellevue, Washington, in 2011 by Shaun McFadden and Joe Naeseth.

We design and build new construction homes in established neighborhoods throughout the greater Seattle area and the Scottsdale-Phoenix region, with a focus on infill development in established, high-demand neighborhoods. In addition to building new construction homes, Azori purchases properties in highly sought-after neighborhoods directly from homeowners—creating opportunities for new homes while offering sellers a clear and streamlined process.

Originally called MN Custom Homes, the company rebranded as Azori in 2026 to reflect its expansion and our commitment to providing exceptional customer service. Our approach: Combine thoughtful design, consistent quality, and a structured, transparent experience—with the highest level of service.

What we build

Find your home

Each home is built to balance

  • Thoughtful layouts that make everyday life feel better
  • High-quality, curated materials so your home is made to last
  • A clear design vision where every detail tells a story

Azori’s luxury homes include:

  • Move-in ready new construction
  • Homes available to purchase and personalize during construction through our presale program

These homes are located in desirable greater Seattle and Scottsdale-Phoenix area neighborhoods near schools, dining, and daily amenities.

Our goal is simple: create home experiences that are crafted with care and intention.

What makes us
different

We believe a home is far more than a transaction or even a place to live. It’s where the chapters of life unfold. That’s why we craft beautiful homes with care and bring a commitment to genuine hospitality well beyond the build.

And it’s how we developed the four core pillars that form the foundation of everything we do:

Community investment 

We understand that we’re part of a vibrant local community, and we care deeply about having a positive impact that goes beyond the homes we build.
 
That’s why we created the Azori Cares program, an ongoing commitment to giving back. We partner with local nonprofits, including Jubilee REACH and Imagine Housing, and donate a portion of our profits every year. We also invest in the environment with innovative eco-friendly practices, so our neighborhoods can stay beautiful and healthy.
