Craig Ranch Wins Gold Award for Best Information Center
McKinney Development One of Five Finalists for Community of the Year
(January 20, 2010—McKinney, TX) Craig Ranch announced today it received the Gold Award for Best Information Center given by the National Association of Home Builders Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC), known as The Nationals (http://www.thenationals.com/ ). The McKinney development was also one of five finalists in the country for Community of the Year.
“This is like the Oscars for the residential real estate industry,” said David Craig, president and CEO of Craig International. “Craig Ranch offers a unique, urban opportunity with amenities that are hard to find anywhere else. To be recognized as the Best Information Center in the country and a finalist for Community of the Year shows that our industry and consumers like what we have to offer: urban walkability with convenience, small-town values and a healthy lifestyle.”
Located at one of Collin County’s primary crossroads and at the center of the fastest-growing area of North Texas, Craig Ranch is between Custer and Stacy Roads north of Highway 121 at the convergence of Plano, Allen, Frisco and McKinney and across the highway from the planned Collin County Performing Arts Center.
"The Nationals is the most prestigious awards of its kind, setting the benchmark for innovations in new home design, marketing and sales," said Sheri Jackson, chairperson of The Nationals. “NAHB's commitment to recognizing originality, imagination and success has been exemplified by its award winners since the competition's inception."
The Gold Award was presented at The Nationals Gala, held last night at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas as part of the International Builders’ Show (IBS).
Craig Ranch also received Silver Awards last month from NSMC for Best Virtual Reality Experience and Best Brochure for The Residences at Grand Lodge. In 2009, Craig Ranch received the National Silver award from the International Builder’s Show for its planned Information Center, the prestigious Community of the Year award from The Homebuilders Association of Greater Dallas' 2009 ARC Awards Program and two McSam Awards for Best Builder Brochure for the Residences at Grand Lodge and Best Sales Office.
