Hendel Homes Excelsior, Minnesota

Rick Hendel founded Hendel Homes in 1999, establishing it as a luxury home builder known for architectural authenticity and meticulous attention to detail. Originally pursuing medicine with a B.S. in Biology from Bethel University, he discovered his passion for homebuilding. His experience—from carpenter to project manager—ensures each home is structurally sound and aesthetically refined. Rick’s philosophy integrates historical integrity with contemporary innovation. His ability to sketch intricate details in client meetings reflects his keen eye for architectural proportion and materiality. Committed to philanthropy, he co-founded Educate Rwanda with his wife, Amy, helping develop sustainable infrastructure. Amy Hendel, Principal of Marketing & Design, blends business acumen with artistic sensibility. A summa cum laude graduate of Bethel University, she studied at Altos de Chavón School of Design.
