Builders Begin Work on First IronHorse Neighborhoods
February 6, 2007IronHorse today announced that Sun Forest, SunWest Builders and Viking
Construction have purchased the initial lots in IronHorse, the new
Brooks Resources Prineville development. These several lots make up the
first three neighborhood "pods", located near Hudspeth Road as it
enters IronHorse, in which each will respectively build. Each company
will be constructing a model home, with the first completed homes
expected to be available in late spring.
"This marks a major
stride toward making IronHorse 'real'—both real on the ground and real
for the folks who will live here soon," said Randy Jones, project
manager for IronHorse. "The bulk-purchase of lots by these three
excellent, experienced companies is a clear indicator of the confidence
they each have in IronHorse."
All three builders have committed
to a neighborhood production schedule, and to meet and respond to
market demand, and the build-out of this initial area is expected to be
substantially completed by the end of 2007. Construction will begin on
the lots this month.
Jones continued, "This step is certainly
reflective of the optimism that all involved feel about the future of
Prineville and IronHorse."
Each builder is required to have
several different facades and floor plans for its homes in order to
maintain IronHorse's commitment to architectural diversity. All have
completed an initial architectural review process for their home
designs. Having these builders begin several homes at once early in the
development process helps to create visible streetscapes and
neighborhoods within IronHorse, and form infrastructure and momentum
for community amenities and connectivity.
