Luxury Homebuilder Sitterle Homes Turns Dirt at Riverstone; New Master-Planned Community in Houston Officially Being Built
Houston (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- High-profile, luxury homebuilder Sitterle Homes held its official groundbreaking for Riverstone, a spacious master-planned community featuring luxury garden home living in Sugar Land, Texas, on June 19. Riverstone is the first Houston development for Sitterle, but its 22nd in Texas with 14 in San Antonio and seven in Austin.
“Homebuyers have been waiting for a community like this to develop in Sugar Land, which is evident from the three homes sold before we turned dirt,” said Steve VonHofe, Houston division president and partner. “We’re proud to be a part of this new community with the Johnson Development Corp., a national leader in land development.”
“After touring Sitterle’s homes in San Antonio, we knew that we had to bring this special builder to Houston and Riverstone,” said Tom Wilcox, Johnson Development general manager of Riverstone. “Garden homes fill a segment of the market that we did not have, and we look forward to increased sales for the overall community and success to a new builder that we hope to include in other JDC communities.”
With its steady growth in San Antonio and Austin, Sitterle didn’t initially plan to expand into Houston. With nearly 30 years of experience in the homebuilding industry in Houston, VonHofe had valuable insights into the area’s real estate trends, including land acquisition, and established the connection between JDC and Sitterle that lead to Riverstone.
“After spending one day with Steve and learning more about this community, we saw the potential of the land and recognized the needs of Houston homeowners,” said Frank Sitterle, Jr., co-owner of Sitterle Homes. “We want to help people build their dream homes in Riverstone and other new communities this fall.”
“I’ve known and worked with Steve for a couple of decades,” said Jeff Buell, Sitterle’s co-owner. “When he contacted me about this opportunity and described how we could be part of people’s lives in this thriving community, I introduced him to Frank. Within a year, we’ve broken ground and are already planning another community in the area.”
Sitterle Homes was recently honored for its outstanding designs with several awards during the Greater San Antonio Builders Association 2013 Parade of Homes, including Best Front Elevation, Best Site Design, Best Landscaping, the Spirit Award, Realtor’s Choice and People’s Choice. Sitterle was also a finalist in the Texas Association of Builders’ 2013 Star Awards. For more information about Sitterle Homes, visit http://www.SitterleHomes.com.
