Builder Profile: Boutique Living by Curate

How we started:

Boutique Living by Curate was founded in 2020 in response to the growing demand for customized production and niche custom homebuilding in Chattanooga. Recognizing a gap in the market for homes that blend luxury with personalized design, the company set out to provide a more tailored approach to home construction. At a time when many homebuyers were seeking unique, high-quality homes that reflected their individual tastes and lifestyles, Boutique Living capitalized on the trend toward customization, offering personalized services and design choices that are often missing from larger, more standardized homebuilding operations. With a mission “to be the trusted builder, rooted in quality, integrity, and community,” Boutique Living is redefining the building experience by focusing on client-centric approaches and unmatched craftsmanship.
