About Aspire Fine HOmes

Your Home Should Reflect the Life You’ve Worked Hard to Build

At Aspire Fine Homes, we see you as more than a dreamer; you’re an achiever with a vision for how life should feel.

The home building or buying process too often leaves people overwhelmed, uncertain, and settling for less. That’s why we created a better way.

NOUN

 A flexible construction model in which a home builder offers both full in-house architectural and design services and the ability to collaborate seamlessly with independent architects or designers hired by the client. Ideal for clients who want the streamlined continuity of a design-build firm without sacrificing the freedom to bring their own creative partners to the table.

Our Story

The Foundation of Aspire

Aspire Fine Homes began as Whitestone Builders, founded by Houston native David Gordon in 2004. Inspired from a young age by the homes being built around him, David pursued a degree in engineering at Texas A&M before realizing homebuilding was his passion. He finalized his Construction Management degree at the University of Houston and set out to design and build high-end luxury homes.

Early on, he saw how traditional custom homebuilding often led to delays, complexity, and client frustration. Determined to change that, he reimagined the process itself.

The result was The Aspire Approach™—a more efficient, transparent, and enjoyable way to bring dream homes to life. With the launch of Aspire Fine Homes, that vision became reality. And today, it continues to guide everything we do.
