As part of its long-term succession planning process, Century Communities has promoted Jim Francescon to president, effective January 1, 2027. Francescon currently serves as executive vice president, corporate operations.
“Today’s announcement reflects the implementation of a succession plan that our board, Rob, and I have been planning and executing over the past two years,” says Dale Francescon, executive chairman of Century Communities. “We have been very thoughtful in how we have approached succession, with the goal of best positioning Century for long-term alignment with shareholders, success, and growth.”
Dale Francescon will continue to serve as executive chairman and Rob Francescon, who currently serves as CEO and president, will solely serve as CEO. As president, Jim will oversee the company’s home building operations, land, and related corporate functions and will help drive the company’s strategy and growth.
“Jim has played an integral role in shaping our strategic direction and our growth into one of the largest home builders in the country, including leading our recent acquisitions that have deepened our footprint and strengthened our platform,” says Rob. “I look forward to continuing to work closely with Jim and our entire executive team as we position Century for continued success.”
Before serving as executive vice president, Jim was president of Century Living, the company’s multifamily platform, and prior to that served as corporate vice president. Jim also serves as a trustee of the University of Denver, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, and ACE Scholarships Colorado.
“I am honored to take on this role and grateful to our board, Dale, and Rob for their confidence,” adds Jim. “We have built a strong operating platform and a talented team, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to grow and deliver on our promise of “A Home for Every Dream.””
