ASTORIA HOMES began 2002 with the opening of Silverado Place located in the Masterplan of Silverado Ranch. Wanting to brand the concept of Silverado Place, ASTORIA created the new “Triumph Neighborhoods”. This concept will be used as a cornerstone for all future ASTORIA developments, conveying the company’s message that the dream of home ownership can be achieved in premium residential areas. It is the Triumph of home ownership and having a quality place to live.

ASTORIA HOMES was a partner in the Nevada ENERGY STAR Partnership Coalition with Pardee Homes and Pulte Homes. We celebrated ENERGY STAR Month in the month of May thanks to Gov. Guinn and Mayor Goodman that proclaimed May to be ENERGY STAR Month. This time was used to promote the ENERGY STAR program and make future and current homebuyers aware of the benefits of an ENERGY STAR home.

ASTORIA HOMES was recognized by Builder Magazine as one of the nation’s “101 Best Companies to Work For”. This was quite an honor considering we were nominated out of more than 6,000 residential construction companies nationwide. ASTORIA was the only valley homebuilder on the list.

ASTORIA was honored an award of merit for its newest community, Silverado Place. ASTORIA HOMES received the recognition for the “Most Affordable Project in the Western Region” at the Gold Nugget Awards ceremony. The event was hosted by the Premier Building Show, an annual tradeshow and conference serving the residential building industry.

ASTORIA opened its second community, Independence, for the newly formed TRIUMPH NEIGHBORHOODS^® in the Fall of 2002.

ASTORIA HOMES received a first-time national honor for having the most sustained growth rate for a builder. The prestigious Builder magazine “Sustained Growth Award” was presented to ASTORIA HOMES during a “Builder Fast Track Conference” held in Las Vegas. Tom McCormick, president, was among the speakers at the event. The award for most “Sustained Growth” was only created this year by the magazine.
