Ashton Woods Homes Breaks Ground On Residential Community In Research Triangle Park

Award-Winning New Home Private Builder-Developer Builds The Townes At Davis Park, Its First Neighborhood In Durham, N.C.

2012-09-26

RALEIGH, NC, September 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) Ashton Woods Homes (http://www.ashtonwoodshomes.com), an award-winning national private home builder, has announced the initial phase of construction for The Townes at Davis Park, conveniently located in the center of Research Triangle Park. The new residential community marks the builder's first neighborhood in Durham and the Research Triangle Park region. Offering chic and stylish three-to-four-bedroom townhomes priced from the mid-$100s, with one-car garages and unique finishes to suit each buyer's individual taste and budget, the community is located just minutes from major shopping, dining, entertainment venues, world-renowned medical facilities and universities. The Townes at Davis Park will feature a private neighborhood pool, a community gathering place, and walking and biking trails. A highly anticipated grand opening is projected to take place in November.

All townhomes in The Townes at Davis Park will qualify for the ENERGY STAR label, which signifies they are substantially more energy efficient than homes built to the minimum code of requirements, and will meet the Environments for Living performance standards, which includes a number of energy-efficient features designed to dramatically lower energy costs. In accordance with Ashton Woods Homes' commitment to green building and design, each home is built to help homeowners save as much as 45 percent annually on utility payments.

Although this is Ashton Woods Homes' first neighborhood in Durham, the company has had tremendous success in neighborhoods throughout Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville and Apex. One of the company's first neighborhoods, Grace Park, which is located in Morrisville, sold out in April 2012, and all homes excluding the model home in Chessington, another Morrisville neighborhood of Ashton Woods, have been sold. Much of the company's success is a direct result of effectively balancing healthy-house features with energy efficiency.

QUOTES:
"Home to more than 170 global corporations, Research Triangle Park is an area of constant growth and expansion," said Rebecca McAdoo, director of sales and marketing at Ashton Woods Homes in Raleigh. "We are incredibly excited to announce the ground breaking of our first Durham community, and we believe The Townes at Davis Park will be a wonderful addition to the Triangle, as it offers buyers a beautiful, affordable and energy-efficient solution to their residential needs. This new community will be unique in that it will be the first neighborhood to blend both work and home life in the Research Triangle Park area. We look forward to hosting a grand opening in the near future."
