A Six-Spot Climb in One Year
The Triangle Business Journal's Fast 50 recognizes the region's fastest-growing privately owned companies each year. Moving from No. 18 in 2025 to No. 12 in 2026 places Ken Harvey Homes among the Triangle's leading growth companies, alongside local businesses whose growth is helping to shape the region. The 2026 honorees were celebrated at the Fast 50 awards at the Angus Barn in Raleigh.

"Being named to the Fast 50 two years in a row, and moving up six spots, belongs to our homeowners, our team and our trade partners. We have never built a home we would not live in ourselves, and that promise is what keeps people coming to us," said Andy Beaird, partner at Ken Harvey Homes.
