Harrison Polsky is the Principal of Development & Sales at Catēna Homes, a Dallas-based luxury residential builder focused exclusively on designing and building architecturally significant homes throughout Texas. Every Catēna home is intentionally one-of-one, no two projects are the same, reflecting a deeply personalized approach that prioritizes the homeowner’s lifestyle, well-being, and long-term experience of the space.

Under Harrison’s leadership, Catēna Homes has built a strong reputation in the Texas luxury home market for delivering residences that balance architectural integrity, thoughtful innovation, and disciplined execution. The firm specializes in custom and high-end spec homes, with a clear focus on the experience of living in the home, not just the finished product, including a strong emphasis on wellness-driven design. From natural light and indoor-outdoor flow to material selection, acoustics, and spatial wellness, Catēna integrates design elements that support comfort, longevity, and daily quality of life.

Harrison brings a unique dual perspective to Catēna Homes, pairing hands-on development leadership with extensive luxury residential sales experience. With team career sales exceeding $1 billion and advisory experience on development projects totaling more than $500 million, he leverages real-time market insight to shape Catēna’s development strategy, pricing, and go-to-market execution—ensuring each home aligns with buyer demand while maintaining financial discipline.

Beyond individual projects, Catēna Homes serves as a strategic partner to landowners, private investors, and capital partners seeking well-executed residential development across Texas. The firm’s model emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and proactive communication, allowing clients and partners to feel informed and confident throughout the build process. In parallel with his work at Catēna Homes, Harrison is an emerging voice in real estate and development, mentoring aspiring professionals and advising developers, investors, and agents on construction economics, market strategy, and the evolving expectations of the luxury homebuyer.

Harrison earned his undergraduate degree and MBA from Southern Methodist University, where his academic foundation in economics, strategy, and management continues to inform his disciplined, experience-driven approach to residential development.
