Not all land is created equal—and not all land is treated with the care it deserves. At EmpireCo., we take a long pause before breaking ground for new home construction. It’s not about how many new homes we can fit. It’s about what kind of neighborhood we’re creating and what kind of legacy we’re building on.
We understand that when someone sells their land, it’s often the first time that land has changed hands in generations. It’s not just real estate—it’s history, family stories, and countless memories wrapped up in acres and acres of South Dakota soil. So when a family entrusts us with it, we don’t take that lightly. Many times, we name the neighborhood or streets after the family as a way to honor that legacy. We don’t just name Sioux Falls neighborhoods—we honor stories. It’s a lasting tribute to the families that came before.
That approach impacts every decision we make. Before any new construction happens, we look at the area of town and ask ourselves: What does this part of Sioux Falls need? What kind of community would actually belong here? We build based on market demand, yes—but also on what makes sense for the neighborhood, the land, and the people around it. That balance of vision and respect is what helps us shape top neighborhoods across Sioux Falls.
Some developers see land as a puzzle—how to fit in the most homes, the most units, and the most density. We see it differently. For us, it’s about making the right decisions to create neighborhoods where future homeowners will truly thrive. Each of our new homes is built with that in mind.
Every EmpireCo. Neighborhood has a personality of its own. That’s not a coincidence. We work hard to make sure the layout, green spaces, and flow of the streets support the kind of lifestyle homeowners want. From first-time buyers to growing families, our neighborhoods might be freshly built, but they’re designed with future roots in mind—places that feel intentional, connected, and easy to grow into from the very beginning.
And now, we’re excited to welcome our newest addition to that story:
SouthLoop
Located in one of the fastest-growing areas of town, SouthLoop brings something fresh to the table—a mix of modern new construction homes, thoughtful planning, and an unbeatable location on the south side of Sioux Falls. Tucked near 69th Street and Sycamore Avenue, this community offers a selection of townhomes with smart layouts designed for how people actually live. With room to grow and plans already in motion, it’s a place where today’s buyers can feel confident about what's ahead.
It’s located in the highly rated Harrisburg School District and just blocks from Horizon Elementary—perfect for families with school-age children. You’ll also find coffee shops, walking paths, and a Great Life Fitness center nearby, with more commercial development on the horizon. As Veterans Parkway extends and connects to 69th Street, SouthLoop’s accessibility will only continue to improve.
But beyond location, SouthLoop is being built with long-term livability in mind. Thoughtful street layouts, easy access to nearby amenities, and a plan that prioritizes future connection all point to a neighborhood that’s set up to grow. It’s early days now—but you can already picture the kind of place SouthLoop will become.
SouthLoop is just getting started, but the foundation is already there for a vibrant, welcoming neighborhood in Sioux Falls. If you’re interested in being part of this community from the beginning, we’d love to help you explore the new homes currently available.
