Phoenix-based Camelot Homes has won a national honor for constructing the best home of the year. MARK BOISCLAIR

Camelot shines in Scottsdale Catherine Reagor Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

One of the first builders to bring garages, sunken fire pits and Roman columns to metro Phoenix’s housing market recently won several awards at a top industry competition for constructing the best home of the year. Scottsdale-based Camelot Homes built the award-winning house in north Scottsdale in a community called White Horse. Camelot, founded almost 60 years ago, has set many trends for the Valley’s housing market, including having women leaders. It was founded by Arizona’s first licensed contractor, J.W. Hancock, and his wife Maggi, who became the company matriarch. The Hancocks started in the 1960s by building semicustom homes near 32nd Street and Shea Boulevard, where tract homes were then the only option.

ing the happiest place to live. Maggi Hancock agreed. Camelot is one of Arizona’s oldest family-owned homebuilders. Maggi Hancock, who was highly respected in

the real estate industry, died this past summer at age 97. “She was a dynamo and took me in. She taught me so much about real estate,” said Mark’s wife, Julie Hancock, also a managing director of Camelot. “I often turned to her over the years, and she shared her great wisdom.” It seems fitting that a homebuilder named Camelot would take top honors for a new community called White Horse. The development, on former Arizona state land near DC Ranch, won for Home of the Year, Best Single-Family Detached home and Best Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home at this year’s Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference in San Francisco. The competition is tough at the annual conference, which has been around for 56 years. Judges described the award-winning house as “a project that’s not only architecturally beautiful, but one that would See CAMELOT, Page 3R
