Luxury Homes Built With Your Vision

Exquisite Homes In Classic Neighborhoods.

My Family has been building Homes in Minnesota since 1941! I’m the 4th generation of my family to carry on this Tradition in Minnesota. I have built thousands of homes in the twin cities over the last 25 years. The Donnay name has always signified quality and craftsmanship that is unmatched in the home building industry. Kate and I started Traditions by Donnay Homes in 2014 because we noticed a very disturbing trend in our industry. Builders charge $400, $500 and even $600 dollars a square foot for Custom Homes in my home city of Edina where I live.

I knew I could build these same homes with the same features and selections with a higher quality finish for a better price. Traditions by Donnay Homes has become the Premier Custom Home Builder in the Twin Cities because of our desire to deliver the Highest Quality Custom Home at a price that sets us apart from our competitors! Please call or e-mail me to set up a time to sit down and learn about the Traditions difference and what your Custom Home experience can look and feel like!

What Our Clients Say

My husband Perry and I are the proud and happy owners of a Traditions by Donnay Homes in Wayzata. To say we truly love our house is an understatement. Our house is filled with details from top to bottom – literally every corner you turn in our house, you see some work of art in the structure of our home.

“When we began talking to builders about building our new home, we were prepared to compromise. We were prepared to share in the misery of clients whose contractors over-promise and under-deliver. We were prepared to be told, “sure — but no1 in your budget.“
