Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods Atlanta Design Gallery Recognized with National Award

ATLANTA - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods has been catapulted to the national stage thanks to the recent debut of its new Design Gallery – located inside Suite 100 at 2110 Powers Ferry Road. The Atlanta-based new home builder will be recognized at the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) highly revered “The Nationals℠ 2015” Awards Ceremony on January 20 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with a Silver Award for Best Design Center. To help realize the unique vision of company founder and CEO Gregg Goldenberg and Chief Operating Officer Michael Rosenberg, the Acadia team enlisted the collaborative efforts of its Marketing Director, Laura Mahon and respected designers, Jane Meagher of Success Strategies and Byron Sumney of SummDesign, Inc.

In an effort to provide customers with a home buying experience that is second to none, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods first unveiled its state-of-the-art Design Gallery in February 2014. Met with rave reviews from home buyers and industry professionals alike, the innovative and immersive 4500 SF showroom is representative of a sensory-driven, one-stop shopping experience. Guests explore Inspiration Zones – offering a series of vignettes that combine tangible elements, visual images and digital technology to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Museum-inspired interactive stations set this Design Gallery apart as home buyers touch and view samples displayed on pocket door panels for a prospective sneak peek at how the exterior and interior of their new home might appear. Since the Gallery’s opening, option sales revenue has nearly tripled from that of the previous design encounter. In addition to increased profitability, the Gallery will serve to solidify the builder’s standing in the market and redefine the concept of home buying.

“We are extremely flattered by the response from both our peers and home buyers,” said Goldenberg. “The Nationals is considered the pinnacle as the National Sales & Marketing Council for the NAHB collects entries from all over the country in order to celebrate the very best in the home building industry. The Acadia team is delighted to be counted among them. In addition to this win, our Design Gallery also up for consideration for a Gold Award in the same category – the winner of which will be announced at the award ceremony in Las Vegas in January. We knew we were onto something very special – the honor of this award and the recent OBIE Award from the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association serves to validate that belief. Perhaps most important is the daily feedback we receive from our customers who often say the Design Gallery is one of their favorite aspects of buying an Acadia home.”
