My name is Ray Roben.

As a lifelong resident of the Imperial Valley and a passionate developer, I’ve built my career on turning overlooked land into thriving communities.

A groundbreaking 96-unit multifamily development on land others thought impossible to develop. From securing tax credits to construction, we’re turning vision into reality.

Quail Meadows

My first large-scale residential development transformed raw farmland into 133 single-family homes and 114 tax credit apartments, guiding the project from concept through CEQA approval to full development and market success.

West 70 

I'm developing 70 acres of farmland on the edge of the City of Imperial. The project is currently going through the CEQA process and will eventually contain nearly 700 units of both for sale and for rent detached homes.

The Imperial Valley is one of California’s best-kept secrets, where endless opportunities meet limited competition. From controlling water that sustains our food supply to becoming a renewable energy powerhouse, the region is poised for rapid growth. Calexico's new port is facilitating booming trade with Mexico, and with limited room to expand in Tijuana, Mexicali is the next frontier for manufacturing. I’ve spent my entire life in the Valley and am proud to lead projects that will shape the future of this dynamic region.

Building Tomorrow.
Today.

I’m not just building homes; I’m building the future of housing. I believe in finding smarter, more affordable ways to make homeownership accessible for all families. That’s why I’m excited about the potential of factory-built homes. Over the next 10 years, I plan to build 1,500 homes using this innovative approach, reshaping how homes are constructed in the United States.
