Since 2005, Cottage Advisors has led the

1,200 cottage homes.

WHO WE ARE

Cottage Advisors is a family-based home builder dedicated to designing, constructing, and delivering a distinctive lifestyle experience. For over two decades, we have successfully managed approximately $400 million in development projects in New England and Canada, delivering nearly 1,200 thoughtfully designed homes.

At Cottage Advisors, we collaborate with local experts to develop and build innovative cluster communities that align with modern housing needs. Our carefully planned developments blend efficient design, architectural charm, and a strong sense of community—elements often missing in today’s conventional housing options. This commitment to fostering meaningful connections is at the heart of our planning process.

EXPERIENCE

Nearly a decade ago, Howard “Chip” Hall, son of founder Howard John Hall, recognized a growing demand for efficiently designed, environmentally conscious, and community-oriented homes. As demographic shifts have reshaped the housing landscape, this vision has evolved into key megatrends in modern homebuilding:

  • Outdoor Living Spaces – Thoughtfully designed areas that extend the living experience beyond the home’s interior.

  • Higher Density / Cluster Development – Smart land use that creates vibrant, walkable neighborhoods.

  • Integration of Natural Features – Preserving and incorporating the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

  • Pedestrian-Friendly, Walkability – Encouraging a connected, car-light lifestyle.

  • Shared Community Spaces – Fostering social interaction and a true sense of belonging.

  • Environmentally Sensitive Design – Emphasizing energy efficiency and sustainable building practices.

  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Delivering high-quality homes with long-term affordability in mind.

By embracing these trends, Cottage Advisors Home Builders, LLC continues its tradition of creating exceptional communities that offer a sense of place, sustainability, and timeless charm.

CONNECTION

At Cottage Advisors, personal relationships and strong local ties are at the heart of everything we do. As a family-owned business, the company is led by Howard “Chip” Hall, a second-generation builder, alongside his son, Lukas Sumner Hall. Together, they share a deep passion for creating thoughtfully designed communities that blend charm, functionality, and a true sense of place.

Each Cottage Advisors development is brought to life by our core construction team, working in close collaboration with local tradespeople. This dedication to hiring local craftsmen not only strengthens the regional economy but also instills a sense of pride among subcontractors—who take exceptional care in delivering high-quality work within their own communities.
