HALL OF FAME

CLARK IVORY IVORY HOMES

This year's Hall of Fame recipient, Clark Ivory, is the CEO of Ivory Homes and is engaged in several initiatives to help build our community and industry. Since 1988, Ivory Homes has led the Utah market and was recently recognized as the 2021 National Homebuilder of the Year by ProBuilder media. Under Clark's leadership, Ivory Homes has diversified the company's product offering completing more than 26,000 single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments.

As our community has faced increasing pressure from rising housing costs, Clark and his wife Christine have put his company, foundation, and civic resources to work to bring innovation and greater affordability to Utah. These efforts include reserving over 500 homes for Utah's critical workforce, helping establish the Utah Housing Preservation Fund to preserve our community's most affordable housing, and; establishing the Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability, a national prize that sheds light on the most innovative ideas for housing affordability.

Clark and Christine also have committed to helping the next generation of industry professionals through his support of the Ivory-Boyer Real Estate Center at the University of Utah, various construction and trade programs throughout the state, and sponsoring Hack-A-House, a 24-hour entrepreneurial hack-a-thon focused on housing affordability.

Most recently, Clark and Christine established the Ivory Innovations Operating Foundation that will take best practices from across the country to build innovative, affordable housing in Utah.
