Montgomery, Alabama.  July 14, 2017.  Lowder New Homes will begin building 55 new homes at Bristol Park Place located in New Park, a residential planned unit development by Jim Wilson & Associates, LLC in east Montgomery, Alabama. The venture marks a new relationship between two long-respected developers who have shaped the residential landscape of the River Region and beyond over the last six decades.  “We are excited about this new relationship with Jim Wilson & Associates and the opportunity to build homes in New Park.  I began my career in this business with the Wilsons and have great respect for their family and the developments they have brought to Montgomery like Wynlakes, and now New Park.” said Jimmy Rutland, President of Lowder New Homes.  New Park was started in 2008 with a master plan of 1,160 acres and a projected 2,700 homes.  Will Wilson, President of Jim Wilson & Associates, said, “The addition of Lowder New Homes to the builder mix brings a totally new concept of home styles to New Park.  Lowder’s history of success is a great compliment to our company and to New Park.  We think it is a powerful combination giving the homebuyer additional value to a home in New Park.”

Lowder New Homes will introduce new floor plans and designs of what it calls a “new generation of homes” to their New Park portfolio of plans developed by internationally recognized residential architectural firm BSB Design. Known for their innovative floor plans that capture the changing trends in living styles, BSB has designed floor plans and homes for Lowder New Homes in New Park that will live like today’s homeowner.

Dan Swift, president of BSB Design, and Senior Partner Stephen Moore built a process to design for what the firm calls a Thoughtful House.  Swift commented, “We have taken a fresh look at both existing designs and living style trends to develop plans that have spaces that are easy, relaxing and rejuvenating while being accessible, flexible and convenient to those that live in the home.”  Jimmy Rutland, president of Lowder New Homes, said, “Our new floor plans and elevations in New Park will reflect the ‘Thoughtful House’ concept with features like a private owner’s entrance, laundry rooms accessible from multiple entry points, chef inspired kitchen-centric plans, flexible spaces, deeper and bigger garages, and the always needed additional storage spaces.”  Rutland says the exterior of the homes “will vary in style from the traditional to craftsman to modern farmhouse.” Some of the exterior architectural elements will include board and batten, stone, cedar shake, prairie grid style windows, metal roofs, and front porches.

Floor plans will be available for homebuyers at the Lowder Parade home, 9230 Sheraton Park Way, in New Park during the Greater Montgomery Home Builders Association 2017 Parade of Homes on the weekend of July 15th and 16th and at the New Park Sales and Information Office, 9430 Park Crossing.   Construction of these new plans will begin this month with move-in dates in the Fall.

Lowder New Homes is a part of a large family of companies called The Colonial Company, known throughout the Southeast for its financial strength, organizational strength and quality products.  Founded in 1956, the Lowder New Homes name has become synonymous with quality homebuilding, value and customer satisfaction.  In conjunction with Lowder Construction Company, Lowder New Homes repeatedly ranks as one of the nation’s largest homebuilders by numerous national trade publications.  One of the largest homebuilders in the state of Alabama, Lowder New Homes produces in excess of 200 single-family homes annually, including home styles ranging from custom-built executive estates to garden homes.  www.lowdernewhomes.com

New Schools Make New Park Popular

Paul Sullivan of the Montgomery Advertiser wrote a wonderful article about New Park and we wanted to share it with you!  Please read below:

East Montgomery’s New Park is more than 1,400 acres of a master-planned community located off Park Crossing between Taylor and Ray Thorington roads.

The overall master plan consists of a wide variety of single-family residences, retail or commercial sites, assisted living and church locations and a multifamily area, said Anita L. Carter, vice president and associate broker, Jim Wilson & Associates LLC.

“With the vision of our founder, James W. Wilson, Jr., New Park is positioned to be the premier location in east Montgomery for years to come,” Carter said. “Real estate is location, location, location. New Park is the smartest address in town.”

New Park is having an Open House Weekend from 1 to 5 p.m. on Oct. 18–19. Also, the New Park Information Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, or call 215-9215 for an appointment.

New Park is situated within walking and biking distance of the newest schools in the city — James W. Wilson, Jr. Elementary, Johnnie R. Carr Middle School and the new Park Crossing High School. In addition, James W. Wilson YMCA is located in the center of the neighborhood. Also, near the neighborhood are baseball and softball fields. New Park is just minutes away from east Montgomery’s excellent shopping and dining.

New Park offers new homes starting in the low $200,000s. Its builder’s guild offers buyers the nation’s top builder, DR Horton, along with six premier local custom builders: Elegant Homes, Excel Construction, Hugh Cole Builder, Milton Strickland Builders, Nathan Watson Builder and W. J. Sellers Custom Homes, all with years of experience, Carter said.

”By showcasing our local builders and D.R. Horton, New Park is able to offer a wide variety of builders, creating an appealing streetscape and curb appeal along with comfortable, livable and beautiful homes in a park-like neighborhood,“ she said.

Homebuyers so far represent a cross section of the River Region, and include young families, retirees, military, out-of-towners relocating, and buyers moving within the city because of what the New Park concept offers, and the newer schools.

Carter said many new homebuyers want open floor plans, outdoor living, energy-efficient features, and flexible space and rooms.

”Our buyers are seeking a community that gives them a good quality of life, convenience to work, recreation and entertainment, and a great school system,” she said. “But also a home that works within their budget and lifestyle.”

Carter said New Park is in the midst of a great year, and she expects the momentum to carry into the fall. Phase one of the development is almost sold out, and phase two opened earlier this year and its expansion is already underway.
