President & CEO

Within the Coachella Valley, GHA Communities has redefined what the desert calls standard. With over 30 years of experience, GHA has developed an outstanding reputation for including as “standard” many of the exceptional features, eye-catching details and valuable options that other builders include at an additional cost.

With more than 100 years of combined experience, GHA and its partners, skilled developers John Wessman, Dan Arthofer, and Dan Starkey, are veterans of the trade, possessing a special understanding of the unique desert environment.

Headed by Chief Executive Officer and President Mario Gonzales, GHA Communities is the largest privately-owned homebuilding company in the Coachella Valley. Within the last three decades GHA has fulfilled the promise of the American dream with new homes for over 2,500 families and a determination to provide outstanding quality and enduring value for homeowners.

GHA Communities offers a wide variety of home styles, price ranges and locations. With homes priced in the $300,000s to well over $2 million, GHA Communities believes that buyers deserve and appreciate special details and features, including front yard landscaping and automatic sprinklers, window coverings, trellis-covered patios, tile flooring. And once buyers select a home, GHA has the resources to help them tailor a financing program to meet their individual needs.

Mario Gonzales is actively engaged in the construction process. He is laser focused on the details, and he’ll tell you that this focus has been the secret to his success. “I have always tried to design and build our homes as if I were going to live in them myself,” said Gonzales. GHA Communities has already redefined what the desert calls standard.
