Finalists for the 2025 RE Journal Awards

At Centra, we’ve always believed that success is built on accountability, compassion, doing right, growth and humility.

 
That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that both our real estate development company and our Vice President of Operations, David Ruhland, have been named finalists in the 2025 RE Journals Real Estate Awards—Centra Homes for Developer of the Year – Residential and David for Executive of the Year.

A Testament to Our Team’s Expertise

Being recognized as a finalist for Developer of the Year highlights the bold strides our team has made in improving the homebuilding process.

 
In 2024, Centra Homes focused on streamlining efficiencies, reducing build times, and making homeownership more accessible—without sacrificing quality.

 
The result? More families moving into homes sooner and at a more affordable price point in a challenging housing market.

From breaking company records to refining our construction processes, this nomination is a reflection of the hard work, strategic thinking, and relentless drive of the entire Centra Homes team.

David’s Leadership: Driving Change, Delivering Results

At the heart of Centra Homes’ success is David, whose leadership has transformed how we build.

 
His ability to spot inefficiencies, implement solutions, and empower his team has led to dramatic improvements in construction timelines, cost savings, and overall quality.

 
Under his leadership, Centra Homes is now building homes twice as fast as it was just two years ago.

 
David’s recognition as a finalist for Executive of the Year is a testament to his vision, innovation, and the culture of excellence he fosters every day.
