SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today, KB Home (NYSE: KBH) unveiled the nation's first HomeKit-enabled
community at its Promenade
at Communications Hill in San Jose. KB Home is the first homebuilder
to make a HomeKit smart-home package available to homebuyers. Along with
its introduction at Promenade at Communications Hill, the Apple HomeKit
package will also be available for buyers at KB Home's Magnolia at
Patterson Ranch community.
A model home showcasing how KB homeowners can simply and securely
monitor and control Apple HomeKit-compatible accessories, such as
lighting, door locks and other security features, and more, conveniently
from their iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, is now open at Promenade at
Communications Hill.
Apple's Home app delivers a simple and secure interface to manage
HomeKit-integrated home automation products in one place, allowing
homeowners to connect and control their environment whether at home or
away. For example, the Home app allows users to set customized scenes,
such as "Leaving Home," which could turn off lights, lock the doors, and
lower the thermostat.

Communications Hill offers convenient city living close to San Jose's
shopping, dining, nightlife and cultural attractions, as well as to the
area's major Silicon Valley employers. The community also provides easy
access to Interstates 880, 680 and U.S. Highway 101.
The three-story floor plans available at Promenade range in size from
2,148 to 2,178 square feet, and can be built with up to five bedrooms,
four baths, and a two-car garage. Pricing begins in the low-$900,000s.
