Model Construction Underway at Pardee Homes' Verana in Coastal North Diego County

    SAN DIEGO, CA, January 15, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Construction is underway in coastal-close Pacific Highlands Ranch where Pardee Homes is building Verana, a new neighborhood of 78 single-family homes featuring luxury, energy-efficient living just east of Carmel Valley. This exciting neighborhood of two-story homes will offer the unique and versatile GenSmart Suite, available in all three floor plans.

"We are pleased to start the new year by debuting Verana in the prestigious master-planned community of Pacific Highlands Ranch," said Liz Ramirez, regional director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "It is very exciting to showcase Pardee's exclusive GenSmart Suite here at Verana, allowing homebuyers to select a floor plan that includes a versatile 'home within the home' that includes a separate living and sleeping area that is ideal for extended living arrangements or visiting family and friends. Verana will also feature the LivingSmart package of standard and optional eco-friendly features that increase energy-efficiency and save water as well as incorporating materials that come from recycled and sustainable resources."

Verana is anticipated to open in late February and will feature three floor plans ranging from approximately 2,645 to 3,518 square feet with three to six bedrooms and three to five baths. These impressive two-story homes, with two- and three-bay garages, will include open, airy floorplans with great room living, covered patios, lofts and options such as den/offices and extended patios to maximize indoor and outdoor living. Pricing is anticipated to be from the low $1,000,000s.

"The LivingSmart program, which is designed to offer added value to the homes at Verana, may provide homeowners with lower energy and water bills and greater indoor comfort," added Ramirez. "Water-thrifty appliances, tankless water heaters, kitchen recycling centers and the use of low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials are among the LivingSmart standards. Buyers can also add such options as photovoltaic systems for in-home solar power on select properties and whole house water filtration."

Master-planned Pacific Highlands Ranch occupies one of San Diego's best coastal-close locations. Surrounded by 1,300 acres of preserved natural habitat, this exciting Pardee Homes community demonstrates the principles of LivingSmart beautifully with remarkably energy-efficient homes, drought-tolerant landscaping and a multi-use trail system for hiking and biking. A proposed private recreation center with swimming pool is planned for this area of Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other outstanding amenities include highly-ranked school districts, convenient shopping and easy access to major high-tech and bio-tech work hubs, UCSD, and the beautiful beaches of Del Mar and Torrey Pines.
