KB Home Introduces New Home Designs at Stapleton
New Customizable, Energy-Efficient Homes Are Designed to Make
Homeownership Affordable
DENVER, Sep 15, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of America's premier homebuilders, has opened a
new community of paired homes at Stapleton in Denver. Starting in the
low $200,000s, the homes are among the lowest priced new homes offered
at the popular master plan community just minutes from downtown Denver.
KB Home celebrated the grand opening at Stapleton this past weekend, and
the new community and four beautifully decorated model homes are now
open daily for tours.
The paired home designs are part of The Open Series(TM), KB Home's new
generation of affordable, flexible and energy-efficient homes that offer
buyers extraordinary choice and value. These Built to Order(TM) homes are
affordably priced to compete with resale and foreclosure homes. The
centerpiece of these new designs is the great room, an open space in the
part of the home where people spend most of their time--the kitchen,
dining and family living area. The new floor plans also incorporate
higher bedroom counts to accommodate growing families or multiple
generations living together, as well as plenty of storage.
"These new paired home designs offer tremendous value to homebuyers in
Stapleton," said Rusty Crandall, president of KB Home's Colorado
division. "The combination of affordability, flexibility and energy
efficiency is exactly what today's homebuyers are looking for in a new
home. And they are thrilled to discover that they can afford to build a
brand new home just the way they want it."
The Open Series homes are built to exacting ENERGY STAR(R) guidelines,
making them among the most energy-efficient new homes available today.
ENERGY STAR qualified homes are up to 45% more energy-efficient than
homes built as recently as 10 years ago, allowing buyers to reduce their
carbon footprint and monthly utility bills for years to come.
KB Home's new community of paired homes is located within the Stapleton
master plan, which offers a live, work and play lifestyle and hosts a
variety of activities throughout the year, including concerts and
farmers' markets. The two-story paired homes provide homeowners between
1,159 to 1,667 square feet of living space and offer two to three
bedrooms, two baths and attached two-car garages.
All of the homes from The Open Series, including those at Stapleton, are
efficiently designed and feature open, airy spaces with an abundance of
natural light. In addition, KB Home's Built to Order experience provides
buyers a level of choice in designing their new homes that was
previously available only with high-end custom homes. Buyers choose from
a variety of brand-name design options at the KB Home Studio, so their
home reflects their personal taste and lifestyle, as well as their
budget.
Consistent with KB Home's standing as the only major homebuilder to
achieve national certification through the NAHB Research Center's
National Housing Quality program, The Open Series homes are built using
high quality materials and components and are backed by KB Home's
10-Year Limited Warranty. KB Home homebuyers, the majority of whom are
buying a home for the first time, appreciate the peace of mind that
comes from choosing a company that has been building quality homes for
more than 50 years.
