History
The company was founded in 1984 by Alan Gillespie, who remains the company's CEO. Marty Gillespie is currently the company's president. Heartland began with one employee, focusing exclusively on the South Hills region of Pittsburgh. In the following years, Heartland exclusively built for townhome communities and volume communities before opening its first master planned community, Meadowbrook, in 1992. The company expanded rapidly during the next fifteen years, first pushing into the North Hills region of the Pittsburgh area, then expanding out of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania into Washington County, Pennsylvania and Butler County, Pennsylvania. Heartland opened 18 new communities in 2005 and 2006.
In 2008, the "Heartland Everywhere" division was created to offer "build on your lot services," that is, the ability to build Heartland homes on lots not located within planned communities.
In 2009, Heartland Homes expanded into its second state, opening a property in Monongalia County, West Virginia.
In 2013, Heartland Homes was acquired by NRV, Inc. bringing formerly Ryan Homes and Heartland Homes under the same umbrella. With this merger, 60% of all new homes built in the Pittsburgh region would be built by one corporation.
Housing slump
Heartland, like other Pittsburgh regional housing companies, has been far less affected by the United States housing bubble collapse than companies in other areas of the country. Its prices have remained relatively consistent, thanks, in part, to the 2% increase in housing values in the Pittsburgh region, contrasted with the 4% decrease in the rest of the country over the same period.
