Brian Homes, Inc. was incorporated in 1956, by principals Anthony A. Colella and Thomas M. Colella. The company primarily began building single family homes. The first plan consisted of twelve homes and was located in the 31st Ward of the City of Pittsburgh. In 1964, Brian Homes expanded into track building, which began in Vista Glen Manor, located in Bethel Park. This plan was completed in 1985, and during those twenty years over 800 homes were built.

In the early 1960's in conjunction with the development in Vista Glen Manor, Brian Homes built in sub-divisions in Mt. Lebanon, Scott Township, Baldwin Borough and Whitehall, as well as in other Bethel Park plans. During the early 1970's Brian Homes expanded into both land development and multi- family construction, while continuing construction of single family homes. (Main Street Apartments, Briarwood Garden Apartments, South Park Road Apartment, etc.) At this time Anthony Colella became inactive and Brian Colella joined his brother, Tom, in the corporation.

In the late 1970's Brian Homes further diversified into the construction of townhouses, having completed townhouse plans such as Logan Park and Parkview Manor in Bethel Park, Wallace Park in Whitehall, South Union Estates in South Park, and Hidden Valley in Upper St. Clair. Construction of single family homes continued in Bethel Green Manor, Tall Trees, Cider Lands and Bradley Woods.

Tom Colella continued to purchase and develop land for Brian Homes sub-divisions and in the 1980's began to develop land for other builders. Clearbrook, which consisted of four phases in Cranberry Township, seven phases of Altman Farms in North Huntington Township, four phases of Willowbrook Farms in Rostraver Township, and The Woods at Quaker Heights in Leet Township were all developed for Ryan Homes.

In the 1990's Brian Homes completed Bethel Green Manor, Park Grove Manor and Vista Pointe in Bethel Park, all single family homes. The third phase of McMurray Highlands in Peters Township (upscale single family homes beginning at $350,000) was started. Brian Homes continued to build single family homes in Forest Brook and Southridge Manor in Upper St. Clair, Oakridge Farms in South Fayette, as well as various other locations in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

Beginning in the fall of 1992, Brian Homes Developed Phase I of McClelland Farms North Strabane Township. Construction is now complete in both Phase I and Phase II. Phases III and IV are nearing completion with only 3 spec houses available. Brian Homes is also building in Phase III of Saddlebrook Farms in Bethel Park after completing Phase I in 1995. Phase II of Saddlebrook Farms is nearing completion with only 2 available lots in South Park Township. Saddlebrook Farms has a price range beginning at $321,900.

The new millennium began with the development of a Phase III of Saddlebrook Farms and the fourth and final phase of McMurray Highlands. Home packages are currently available for sale in both of these plans.
