by David Weekley Homes

David Weekley Homes is proud to announce that Newland Communities, the developer of Telfair, Cinco Ranch and Eagle Springs, was recently named the “Developer of the Year” by BUILDER AND DEVELOPER magazine.

Five of Newland’s communities were ranked in the top 15 communities for new-home sales in the nation in 2009, according to an RCLCO survey of over 400 communities. And… three of their developments in the Houston area made the list: #1 nationally ranked Cinco Ranch, Telfair (#4) and Eagle Springs (#13.)

David Weekley Homes has built a strong relationship with Newland, due to a shared goal of Enhance People’s Lives and the surrounding community. Newland also takes the time to understand their customers and the types of new homes and lifestyles they desire in a master-planned community.

"This business needs to start with understanding how people want to live and creating product and community that meets those needs. Secondly, explore innovative ways to create value for your investors, your teams and your customers,” said Bob McLeod, Newland Communities' chairman, president and chief executive officer.
