The vision behind Legacy Village
Legacy Village brings together a development vision with deep local and construction roots. The community is being developed by B&G Developers, formed by longtime friends who grew up in Van, with homes built by Triple-E Builders.
The vision for Legacy Village is to create more than a collection of new homes. It is a thoughtfully planned neighborhood designed to feel welcoming, connected, and at home in Van from the very beginning.
For B&G Developers, Legacy Village is an opportunity to create something lasting—a community that residents are proud to call home and that becomes part of Van for years to come.
What makes Legacy Village special?
Legacy Village is designed to offer the character and sense of place of an established neighborhood with the benefits of a brand-new home. Thoughtful streetscapes, sidewalks, street lamps, attractive homes, and a variety of floor plans will create a community that feels welcoming rather than cookie-cutter. The goal is a neighborhood that feels comfortable, well cared for, and desirable for years to come.
The builder behind the homes
Triple-E Builders is the builder behind the homes of Legacy Village. Named for brothers Evan, Elia, and Eric, the family-owned company grew from a shared background in construction and their father's dream of seeing his sons build something lasting together.
With more than 85 years of combined construction experience across the family, Triple-E brings generations of hands-on knowledge to Legacy Village. For the family, the project is especially meaningful—the homes they build here will carry not only the Triple-E name, but their reputation for years to come.
