From Soldier to CEO:
The Man Behind Santiago Communities
At Santiago Communities Inc., everything begins with a sense of purpose, and that starts with our founder, Richard Simonian.
A proud U.S. Army veteran and member of the historic 10th Special Forces Group, the unit that would go on to become today’s elite Green Berets, Richard’s life has been shaped by discipline, duty, and a deep commitment to service.
In this special video, Richard shares the story behind Santiago: from his early years and military service to his entrepreneurial journey and unwavering mission to create stable, affordable housing for working families.
This isn’t just a business. It’s a legacy built on service, honor, and the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home.
Our Story
From 1975-89, Richard Simonian was establishing himself and his businesses as the leader in building manufactured home communities on the West Coast. With more than 50 communities developed under his leadership, Mr. Simonian’s company was purchased, and soon after, he launched Santiago Communities Inc. (SCI).
SCI now owns and operates over 35 communities, approximately 6,000 home spaces, throughout the western United States and is widely considered the West Coast’s premier provider of integrated services for manufactured home living.
SCI’s corporate headquarters are located in Orange County, CA, with a full-service Sales Center in Riverside, CA. Their owned and managed communities are throughout Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington.
