Residential Sector

In-house design, custom luxury homes, multifamily developments, JAVER apartment towers, and HUD/Infonavit housing rehabilitation — AGC designs and builds residential projects on both sides of the border, from single-family to 200-unit programs.

Residential Overview

Built To Live In.

From the Valencia Residence in Harlingen to a $16.5M HUD rehab program covering 200 units across Mercedes and Mission, to multifamily towers for JAVER in Jalisco — AGC’s residential portfolio spans single-family luxury, multifamily, and large-scale subsidized housing programs.

Every project can start with us at the drawing board. Our in-house design team works alongside construction from day one — concept, schematic, and construction documents — so the home you envision is the home we build.

Residential Capabilities

What We Build Residential

Custom homes, multi-family, Infonavit, HUD rehabilitation — residential construction across U.S. and Mexican programs.

Design Services

In-house residential design — concept development, schematic design, and full construction documents. We design what we build, so every home is coordinated from the first sketch to the final walk-through.

Custom Homes

Single-family custom builds from raw land to certificate of occupancy — architectural coordination, site, structure, MEP, finishes.

Multi-Family Housing

Apartment, townhome, and condominium developments — site civil, building structure, common areas, and unit finishes.

Infonavit Housing

Mexico-side residential developments under the Infonavit federal housing program. Volume builds with rapid turnover and standardized unit types.

HUD Rehabilitation

U.S.-side renovation and rehabilitation of HUD-supported multi-family stock — code modernization, accessibility, finishes, and life-safety upgrades.

Senior & Assisted Living

Independent living, assisted living, and memory care — specialized layouts, ADA compliance, and life-safety design built in.

Site Development

Subdivision site work — grading, utilities, roads, drainage, and lot delivery to home-building schedules.

Why Araiza

Residential, Both Sides Of The Border

Residential construction looks different in the U.S. and in Mexico. We work fluently in both — and adapt to whether you're building one home or two hundred.

01 / Volume & Custom

Scale Both Ways

Whether you need one custom home or 200 production units, our crews scale and adapt. Standardized processes for production, full attention for custom.

02 / Cross-Border Programs

Infonavit + HUD

Track record on both Infonavit (Mexico) and HUD (U.S.) residential programs. We know the documentation, draw-schedule, and inspection requirements of each.

03 / Owner-Builder Comfort

First-Time Builders Welcome

Many of our residential clients are first-time builders. We educate as we go — what each draw covers, why each inspection matters, what to expect at closing.

Frequently Asked

Questions We Hear Often

Yes. We handle custom single-family builds from raw land to certificate of occupancy. The process includes site work, foundation, framing, MEP, finishes, and landscaping — coordinated with the homeowner and architect throughout.

A 2,500–4,000 sqft custom home typically runs 9–14 months from groundbreaking to closeout. Larger or more complex homes run longer. We provide a detailed schedule at preconstruction and weekly progress updates.
