NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 27, 2015) - During The Nationals 2015 Awards ceremony, The National Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC), a council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), honored Trumark Homes with three Gold Awards -- including the prestigious national Community of the Year for SL70 in Silver Lake, Calif. -- as well as six Silver Awards. The Nationals Awards ceremony, held on January 20 in Las Vegas, is one of the highlights for the NAHB's annual International Builders' Show (IBS), the premiere show for home building industry professionals for North America.
"Receiving this type of recognition from the nation's largest competition for new home sales and marketing professionals and communities is truly an honor," said Mark Higgins, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Trumark Companies, who also won a Silver Award for Marketing Director of the Year.
Trumark Homes' SL70 community, a new development of 70 three-story single-family homes, won two Gold Awards for Detached Community of the Year and Best Architectural Design of a Single-Family Home Under 2,000 Square Feet. In addition, SL70 won three Silver Awards for Best Brochure, Best Interior Merchandising and Best Website for a Community.
"SL70 represents everything Trumark stands for as a new-generation builder," said Michael Maples, principal and CEO of Trumark Homes. "This development, showcases Trumark's ability to dive into a niche market and create a community that is uniquely designed for the target buyer. It's gratifying to see SL70 get the recognition it deserves."
Trumark also won a Gold Award for its sales center at the PACE community, an eight-acre residential development in Milpitas, Calif., offering 134 homes designed to appeal to Silicon Valley's young professionals, couples and growing families. The development includes two communities, Velocity and Momentum, with a mix of detached single-family homes and attached townhomes.
Trumark teamed up with long-term equity partner The Resmark Companies in developing both design-centric developments: SL70 and PACE.
In addition, Trumark Urban's AMERO project won a Silver Award for Best Outdoor Living Space/Landscaping Design Features. AMERO, located in the heart of San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, is a rare collection of two and three bedroom condominium residences offering spectacular views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.
"Thanks to all our Gold and Silver winners as you are the creative spirit that fuels our industry to move forward and innovate," said NAHB Nationals Chair Christy Beck of the 2015 awards.
