For 20 years, we have been committed to building quality homes in Charlottesville and supporting our local community. Charlottesville is our home and being a good neighbor is a core value of our company. As we face the current COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our employees, customers, realtor partners, trade partners, and community are paramount in our decision making. We want to share with you some of the ways we are adjusting our business operations to serve customers, support our team members, and serve our local community.
Supporting our Local Charlottesville Community
During these uncertain times, it is more important than ever that we support each other. We have made recent donations and are proud to support several local organizations that are focused on providing food and shelter to those most in need in our community, including The Haven, the Salvation Army , Meals on Wheels and Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry.
Model Homes + Design Center
Our model homes and design center are now OPEN! We are limiting the number of potential homebuyers to 4 in addition to their realtor (if applicable) for in-person meetings along with requiring masks and the use of hand sanitizer. This allows for proper social distancing in our model homes and completed speculative homes. We will continue to offer the option of virtual appointments for all our model homes and design center.
