Mattamy Homes Leadership Transition

In a landmark announcement on August 20, 2026, Mattamy Homes disclosed the retirement of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the U.S. division, Keith Bass, effective September 1, 2026. Following his departure, Chris Lindhorst, who has been serving as Chief Operating Officer, will take the helm as the new CEO, ushering in a new era for the company.

Keith Bass’s Impact

Keith Bass joined Mattamy Homes in 2020, driving the company's U.S. operations to unprecedented heights during his tenure. Under his leadership, the company recorded significant revenue growth and increased operational efficiencies despite a tumultuous housing market. Larry Nicholson, Vice Chair of Mattamy Homes, praised Bass’s commitment to operational excellence and his ability to steer the company through challenging market conditions. “Keith has been an exceptional leader during an important chapter in our company’s history,” Nicholson stated, highlighting Bass’s robust leadership qualities and dedication.

Bass’s strategic initiatives have positioned Mattamy Homes for sustained growth, and his contributions will undoubtedly leave a lasting mark on the organization's culture and operational framework. His retirement marks the end of a notable six-year journey that has seen the company navigate through significant industry changes and achieve remarkable milestones.

Chris Lindhorst: A New Vision

Stepping up as CEO, Chris Lindhorst brings with him a wealth of experience in the homebuilding sector, amassed over two decades. His prior role as Regional President at D.R.

“Chris is a proven leader with deep operational expertise and an impressive track record of delivering results at scale,” Nicholson noted, expressing confidence in Lindhorst's capability to guide Mattamy Homes toward future successes. Lindhorst joined the Mattamy team in February 2026 and has already established himself as an integral member of the leadership core, displaying the strategic vision necessary for the company's ongoing evolution.

As the new CEO, Lindhorst will oversee all aspects of Mattamy’s U.S. operations and drive the company's long-term growth strategy. He emphasized his eagerness to “work alongside our teams across the United States to build on that momentum.” Under his leadership, the company aims not only to sustain but also to accelerate its success while continuing to provide outstanding services to its customers.
