R.G. Apel Development

Founded by the late Robert G. Apel in 1989, we have earned an outstanding reputation for building distinctive luxury homes that combine the finest architectural details with the ultimate in state-of-the-art features. From the outset, Bob Apel’s focus was clear. He would create world-class living environments for an upscale clientele who expected and appreciated building excellence. To do so, he assembled a team of dedicated and experienced professionals who shared his vision. His hard work, combined with the construction expertise of Dennis Auping has helped shape R.G. Apel Development into St Louis’ premier custom home building company. With Bob Apel’s untimely passing in January 2005, the mantle of leadership of R.G. Apel Development is now in the hands of Dennis Auping, Bob's partner from the inception of R.G. Apel. Dennis Auping shares the vision, philosophy, and principles on which the company was founded, and he is dedicated to continuing to provide the same degree of integrity, expertise and personalization that are the hallmark of R.G. Apel Development.
