Darling Homes will join Taylor Morrison’s two Bonterra 55+ communities in Houston this spring, the home builders announced Wednesday.
Darling is expected to build its Sanctuary Collection of homes in the 55+ Bonterra communities. The Sanctuary Collection is designed for entertainment and convenience, with relaxed features like wine storage grottos, panoramic patios and flexible living spaces throughout the homes.
A total of seven home designs will be available in each Bonterra community and will offer flexible options like media rooms and guest suites with walk-in showers in addition to the refined standard features the builder already offers. Three elevation styles – Traditional, Mediterranean and Modern – will be offered and, as always with Darling Homes, the ability to personalize each home will be available to home buyers.
Currently, there are two Bonterra 55+ communities in Houston: Bonterra at Woodforest, which opened in 2014, and Bonterra at Cross Creek Ranch, which opened in 2016. Darling’s collections of homes range from approximately 2,386 to 3,149 square feet in size and are expected to start from the upper $300,000s in Woodforest and the mid $300,000s at Cross Creek Ranch. Construction on models begins this spring as well.
Both Bonterra communities are designed to represent what today’s home buyers are requesting in 55+ communities, said Amy Rino, president of Taylor Morrison’s home building operations in Houston.
“Today’s 55+ home buyers are looking for homes that fit their active lives, communities that deliver a meaningful experience and a value they can’t find anywhere else,” she said. “At Bonterra, we’re delivering on all three of those desires. Adding Darling Homes to that mix gives our home buyers even more options.”
The Darling Homes announcement adds to an already impressive lineup of homes by Taylor Morrison. Currently, buyers can choose from 11 new home designs in three distinct collections – the Landmark, Summit and Pinnacle. Each home is crafted for entertaining ease and living comfort and offers approximately 1,582 to 2,878 square feet of living space. Home designs with up to three bedrooms are available in both communities.
The two brands have combine for four of the last eight “Builder of the Year” awards from the Greater Houston Builder’s Association Houston’s Best PRISM Awards. In January, Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes were also collectively awarded the 2017 Builder of the Year by the Greater Houston Builder Association. In addition, Taylor Morrison was recently named America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder by Lifestory Research for a third consecutive year.
“Our commitment every day is to deliver the best possible homes and communities to our customers,” Rino said. “It’s that commitment that keeps us one of Houston’s top home builders.”
