About Prominent Homes

Prominent Homes is a family-owned residential homebuilder based in Calgary, Alberta, founded in 1990. We've grown from a small local builder into a company building 120+ homes a year across single-family, duplex, and townhome communities — with a clear plan to scale past 150+ homes next year. We're led by our second-generation President, Pal Shergill, who has spent 30+ years in every part of this business before taking the seat.

Decisions here are made close to the ground, hands-on, and accountable — not layered in bureaucracy.

Our current employee engagement score (eNPS) is 75+, a level most companies never get close to, and it's a company-wide goal every leader is accountable for.
