Celebrating Industry Leadership: HBA of SE Michigan Honors Bob Doil and The Reserve at Crystal Lake

Bob Doil, COO of Robertson Homes, was honored with the Distinguished Service Award – Urban Home Building, recognizing his dedication to advancing thoughtful, high-quality residential development throughout Southeast Michigan.

Under Bob’s leadership, Robertson Homes has continued to grow its presence in urban and infill communities, delivering well-designed homes that respond to evolving lifestyles while strengthening the neighborhoods they serve. His commitment to industry leadership, collaboration, and responsible development reflects the core values of HBA and the broader homebuilding community.

This recognition is a testament not only to Bob’s leadership, but also to the entire Robertson Homes team who support the company’s mission every day.

Development of the Year: The Reserve at Crystal Lake

We’re also proud to celebrate our development partner, Franklin Property Corporation, who received HBA’s Development of the Year Award for The Reserve at Crystal Lake, located in Commerce Township.

The Reserve at Crystal Lake was recognized for its thoughtful planning, quality execution, and contribution to the local community. Developments like this set a benchmark for how residential neighborhoods can balance design, livability, and long-term value—principles that align closely with our approach at Robertson Homes.

Being part of an award-winning development underscores the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to creating exceptional places to live.

Honored Among Industry Leaders

Both honors were announced as part of HBA’s 2025 Industry Leadership Awards, which recognize builders, developers, associates, and public officials who demonstrate outstanding service to the housing industry across Southeastern Michigan.

We’re grateful to HBA for these recognitions and proud to stand alongside so many respected peers. Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees, and a special thank-you to our partners, homeowners, and team members who make achievements like these possible.
