THE SIMONINI STORY
Simonini has a rich history that it is honored to carry on into the homes they build today. Read below for some important dates and accomplishments of the Simonini business and family.
1983
Alan’s brother, who was a salesman for Oscar Mayer, came to work on the family business. With his brother’s salesman eye, lots were purchased and spec homes developed.
1973
Simonini Builders was founded by Alfred Simonini, after he retired and moved from Chicago to Lake Wylie and started building houses as a rather ambitious hobby. He brought his son Alan with him and built four homes – Alfred as the builder, young Alan serving as the cleanup guy.
1980s-2000
Simonini invested in the new neighborhoods of Lake Norman in the late 1980s, which led to more and more work in nearby luxury neighborhoods like The Peninsula and The Point. It also expanded to Ballantyne and The Farm.
