And Our New Community Is

Fairview Manor! This beautiful community is located along Church Road near Freeway Airport. We are very excited to start building here. This community will have a similar feel to Woodmore North with its spacious one acre homesites. We are going to start selling the first phase of six lots in the next few weeks. These homes will be starting in the $500,000’s.

We are also excited to be building a new model in the community. Before the end of the year we will be unveiling a beautiful Sierra model, with some very special features. These include: a new health spa suite, an expanded family room with coffered ceilings, and an owner’s suite with a balcony retreat.

If you would like any more information about this upcoming community call 301-352-9111, email me, or come visit our Tara model at Woodmore North

Stay tuned because next week we will be releasing the exact location as well as the name of this exciting new community!

Big Things Are Happening at Mid-Atlantic Builders

The past week has brought an abundance of exciting news.  We are proud to announce that yesterday we sold our beautiful Windsor model at The Villages of Savannah in Brandywine.  Several more homes are under construction and you can get a sneak peek by going here and checking them out.  Remember that you don’t have to wait until they are finished to purchase one — they are available for sale now!

Equally exciting is that we are down to the last homesites at our Woodmore North community in Bowie.  A stunning, custom-designed Somerset that features a large deck off the family room and a special balcony off the owner’s suite sitting room is available now.  If you are looking to live in this premier community, come in today before we sell out!

Mid-Atlantic Builders Management Team Attends Builder Conference

Recently, the leadership team of Mid-Atlantic Builders attended the spring National Association of Home Builders “20 Club Program” conference in Vancouver, Canada.  Known also as the “Builder 20 Club”, this networking event brings together builders from all across the United States and Canada from non-competing markets, giving them an opportunity to share ideas in marketing, construction, design, and customer care.

The Builder 20 Club is comprised of a prestigious mix of builders who individually have been honored with numerous awards, in large part due to the wisdom and advice each has received from their peers which has helped strengthen their business operations.  An active Builder 20 member since 1995, Mid‑Atlantic’s affiliation with the Club has helped us attain Builder Magazine’s America’s Best Builder recognition and dozens of awards from our local building industry association, including many Builder of the Year accolades.  Builder 20 Club members are regarded as leaders in their markets, and each conference also provides updates on new design trends that we can offer to our customers.

Upon his return to Maryland from the Vancouver meeting, Mid-Atlantic’s president, Roger Lebbin, commented, “These conferences help our company learn the best practices from some of the best builders in Canada and the United States, and give us a competitive advantage over local builders who do not participate in these special, invitation-only events.”

Beechtree Swim and Racquet Club

Something new and exciting is coming to the Beechtree community this summer!  In addition to having the beautiful clubhouse and the golf course in your backyard, by the end of the summer you will be able to enjoy a dip in the pool!

The Club will feature several new conveniences for the use of residents.  In addition to the pool, there will also be a fitness center, children’s pool, racquetball court, and meeting/party room.  All of these will have controlled access for residents only.

This beautiful, amenity-rich community keeps getting better and that is just another reason why Beechtree would be the perfect place to call home.  If you are interested in more information about Beechtree, call Toni Dixon at 301-627-9230 or email her.

BUILDER Magazine Features Mid-Atlantic Builders

Credit: BUILDER magazine

Over the years, Mid-Atlantic Builders has been acknowledged as an industry leader for our design trends and our energy-efficiency innovations.  Recently we were recognized again in BUILDER magazine as one of only three builders from across the country chosen to partake in an article about efficiency and design improvements.

Our Executive Vice President, Stephen Paul, was interviewed about a variety of innovations that Mid-Atlantic has introduced over the past year, some of which resulted from our customers’ requests.  We’ve added an optional guest suite design to all of our floorplans to accommodate their multi-generational housing needs.  We introduced a new family gourmet kitchen that features a large work island often used as a household gathering place.  We have also started constructing all of our homes under our Energy$mart program.  This program not only meets the standards of Energy Star, it substantially surpasses them.  We include spray foam under the floor joints at the exterior ban board of every house in order to protect the interior from drafts.  And we also include 95%-efficient HVAC systems that are customized for each home we build.  These are only two of the many energy-efficient designs we have under our Energy$mart program.

We look forward to further refining our products over the next year and thank BUILDER magazine for their recognition and the honor of being chosen for the article.  And, we thank our customers for their valuable input and feedback that helps us design better homes.
