Pardee Homes has earned multiple Finalist honors in the 2008 MAME (Major Achievement in Marketing Excellence) competition, all for Waverly Place in Moorpark Highlands, the company’s master-planned community in Moorpark. A finalist for the coveted Attached Community of the Year designation, the stylish new townhome community was judged among hundreds of entries submitted to MAME from throughout Southern California.

“We sincerely thank the MAME judges and we share these honors with the superb consultants who serve on our new home project teams,” said Bob Clauser, senior vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes.  “Their creativity and expertise contributed to every element of Waverly Place, and thus to its success with the MAME judges—and with area new home buyers.”

Waverly Place earned its finalist honors as a community because of cumulative scores in categories required for project consideration. It is a MAME Finalist for architectural design for Plan One; for model complex landscape architecture; for sales office design; and for project brochure. Consultants for these categories are Bassenian/Lagoni Architects for architectural design; the LA Group for model complex landscape design; Color Design Art for sales office design and Zukor Design, Inc.  for community brochure.

MAME finalists and grand winners will be celebrated April 19 at “The Shining Stars” Awards Gala, staged at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. The Sales and Marketing Council of Southern California, a council of the California Building Industry Association, sponsors the MAME program. 

Opened in late 2007, Waverly Place has also proven itself a winner in the Ventura County marketplace, with steady sales to young singles and couples, as well as to empty nester and active retiree profiles. Priced from the $400,000s, Waverly Place features three townhome designs of approximately 1,136 to 1,819 square feet of living space; Plan One is a carriage unit with ground level entry and two-bay tandem garage plus private deck. Plans Two and Three are two-story plans with two-bay garages and private yards. The energy-efficient, money-saving features of Pardee Homes’ EnergySmart™ program enhance each Waverly Place home.

Traditional architectural styles enrich Waverly Place exteriors and well-defined entries highlight the individual character of each plan. Waverly Place features its own recreation center with pool, spa and children’s play area. As part of Moorpark Highlands, it is situated among some 400 acres on an elevated site that combines enclave character with convenience to freeways, schools and shopping.

Waverly Place is east Ventura County’s most popular attached home neighborhood, according to data compiled and analyzed in the Siracusa Report. The Siracusa Report studies sales performance throughout the Ventura County new home market.

“Pardee Homes is a consistent winner in MAME/Southern California, with recognition that frequently highlights the overall excellence of a community honor,” said Peter Mayer, judging chairman for the competition. “We congratulate this fine homebuilder on another job well done, this time at Waverly Place in Moorpark.”
