SACRAMENTO, Calif. (August 13, 2013) – Recently named 2012 Builder of the Year by BUILDER, the leading media brand for residential construction, local home shoppers now have more opportunities to experience Taylor Morrison’s commitment to quality and modern home designs first-hand at several new Bay Area communities. These new communities feature the latest trends in the Bay Area’s most sought-after locations including Lafayette, Morgan Hill and San Jose. Highlighted by sophisticated architecture, sleek lines and unique amenities, these stylish contemporary designs feature an open living concept that fuses urban and traditional styles, creating the perfect living space for nearly every homebuyer in every region of the Bay Area.

Marquis in Lafayette recently opened for sales and offers homebuyers the opportunity to live in one of the Bay Area’s most sought-after locations. Priced from the high $700,000s, the community’s 23 townhome-style residences are well underway and will be ready to move-in this fall. With craftsman-style exteriors and equally impressive interiors, each of the three floorplans provides approximately 2,000 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms, three-and one-half bathrooms and a two-car garage. Conveniently located just a couple of miles from La Fiesta Square and a short bike ride from the Lafayette BART station for quick transit access to the area’s Farmer’s Market for fresh produce. Plus, residents will also enjoy nearby recreational opportunities at Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail and Lafayette Reservoir.

Taylor Morrison recently expanded their San Jose line-up to include the premier location of Morgan Hill. Madrone Plaza offers both two-story detached home designs and stylish, three-story townhomes in its two distinct product lines – The Arbors & The Villas. Each detached home features up to four bedrooms, two-and-one-half bathrooms and 1,617 square feet, while each spacious townhome design boasts up to five bedrooms, three-and-one-half bathrooms and 1,929 square feet. Madrone Plaza in Morgan Hill offers homeowners the perfect escape from the Silicon Valley along with onsite amenities including a community clubhouse, swimming pool and hot tub, bocce ball and basketball courts, a putting green and tot lot. Models are currently under construction and are expected to open late 2013. Pre-model pricing is available from the low $500,000s.

Taylor Morrison’s second San Jose community open for sales is Parc 22, which offers 62 townhome-style and five detached, single-family homes to choose from. This stylish collection of all new home designs ranges in size from 1,444 to 1,837 square feet and offers three to four bedrooms and up to three and-one-half baths. Conveniently located in the heart of San Jose, Parc 22 is situated less than a mile from I-280, I-680 and Hwy. 101. Residents will also enjoy access to two nearby parks located within easy walking or biking distance – William Street Park and Selma Olinder Park. The sales office is now open and pre-model pricing is available from the high $400,000s.

Taylor Morrison plans to open additional communities in the Bay Area later in 2013 and first quarter of 2014. Each community is designed with future residents in mind, with multiple floor plan options and competitive pricing.

With a wide selection of new and existing communities to choose from, Taylor Morrison is positioning itself as the go-to builder in the Bay Area in 2013. To learn more about these new communities or any Taylor Morrison community, please visit their website at www.TaylorMorrison.com or visit
