Our Story

Ottawa Home Builders
Since 2013

As one of Ottawa’s most trusted home builders, HN Homes carries forward the vision of the late Herb Nadolny, one of Ottawa’s most celebrated real estate pioneers.

In 1958, Herb co-founded Urbandale Corporation and spent decades acquiring land across Ottawa, growing it into one of the city’s largest landowners within the urban boundary. The corporation earned multiple awards for both construction quality and the exceptional care shown to homeowners when issues arose.

In 2013, the Nadolny family chose to honour that legacy by founding HN Homes, carrying Herb’s initials as both a tribute and a commitment to the values he built his career on. Read the full story in the Ottawa Citizen.

HN Homes represents a legacy of excellence in Ottawa’s home building industry, founded by the family of late real estate pioneer Herb Nadolny.

In 1958, Herb co-founded Urbandale Corporation and began buying large tracts of land to be used for homes and commercial properties around Ottawa. The corporation went on to become one of the largest landowners inside the urban boundary and won many awards for the way it built homes and the way it kept its homeowners happy when problems did arise.

In 2013, the extended Nadolny family chose to renew his legacy by establishing HN Homes, carrying Herb’s initials, to honour his passion for community building.
