Two reputable homebuilders come together
With 30 years of local homebuilding experience, Village Homes enters its next chapter with William Lyon Homes In a year when Denverites are pretty much in awe at the pace of change they see happening around the Mile-High City, one more alteration is about to occur: Colorado born-and-bred builder Village Homes, a storied builder that created namesake communities from Littleton to Arvada, Denver, Aurora and Parker, is transforming into an even more storied one, William Lyon Homes. William Lyon Homes was launched in 1956, when a com-
WHERE: Village Homes, Colorado bornand-bred builder, changing its name to that of its parent company, William Lyon Homes, with current communities including Candelas & Leyden Rock in Arvada, Southshore in Southeast Aurora, Greenfield in Centennial, Cliffside in Castle Rock, The Lakes at Centerra in Loveland, and West Village in Timnath.

bat pilot returned to California from the Korean War and built his first homes near Los Angeles. Last year the company turned 60 years old, with over 75,000 homes to its credit, and is now ranked as one of the largest Western regional homebuilders in the nation and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition to acquiring Village Homes in 2012, William Lyon Homes builds homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. “William Lyon Homes sees Village Homes as a creative company that built a strong reputation by selecting great locations, as well as pioneering design innovations with an attitude toward precision and operational excellence,” says Jeff McGovern, William Lyon Homes division president. “William Lyon Homes and Village Homes share a common character built upon pride and integrity, along with a high level of quality and customer care. Two reputable homebuilding companies come together. It’s a perfect fit.” That alignment creates lots of opportunities for its customers and team members, they add. A broader range of products at attainable prices can be offered, and some of the best trade partners and consultants can be secured. While Village’s name may change, William Lyon is expected to keep Village’s presence in key markets around metro Denver, including in Arvada, where it builds in Leyden Rock and Candelas;

at Aurora Reservoir, where it created the master-planned community Southshore; at Greenfield near Saddle Rock in Centennial, ranked by Redfin as the ninth-hottest neighborhood in the nation for 2017; and in Douglas County, where Village won the coveted award for “Best Community” in the DenverBoulder area repeatedly. Throughout these communities in metro Denver and Northern Colorado, current Village Homeowners will see no changes in the quality of Village’s services and warranty protection. Realtors, always a strong connection for Village, are anticipating two new com-
munities that will show the investment strength of William Lyon Homes as they take shape. In Erie, William Lyon Homes is preparing two new lines of family sized homes for Flatiron Meadows. And in the “Aerotropolis” corridor between Denver and DIA, William Lyon Homes has broken ground on Avion at Denver Connection, a 115-acre masterplanned community west of Peña Boulevard at Green Valley Ranch Boulevard. Avion will offer new-urban designs for townhomes, as well as singlefamily residences, amid 40 acres of uniquely designed parks. They’ll create affordability that hasn’t been seen for years in
the city of Denver – from the $200,000s on some plans. Buyers looking for a quick available home have choices up and down the Front Range, including Arvada’s Leyden Rock and Candelas communities from the high $400s; in Greenfield in Centennial from the low $500s; at Southshore in Southeast Aurora from the low $500s; and at Cliffside in Castle Rock from the mid$600s.
