According to a recent Denver Business Journal article, national homebuilder PulteGroup Inc. is planning to build 243 new homes at The Aurora Highlands, a master-planned community that's projected to span nearly 4,000 acres south of Denver International Airport along E-470.

The company also has nearly 200 homes in the works at the Sterling Ranch master-planned community in northwest Douglas County, according to past DBJ reporting, and could purchase more home sites there in the future.

A breakdown of housing offerings:

·       Homes are expected to go on sale in September 2021, with the first residents moving in during the first quarter of 2022.

·       Pulte will be offering three different collections, the first of which will begin to be built in September.

o   The Pinnacle Collection will include four detached single-story and two-story home designs, ranging in size from 1,779 to 2,843 square feet and featuring three to six bedrooms.

o   The second collection, the Crest Collection, will also include four detached single-story and two-story home designs, ranging in size from 2,455 to 3,382 square feet. The homes will feature between four and six bedrooms.

o   The third and final series, which will be available in mid-2022, is known as the Summit Collection.

o   All four designs in this collection will be two-story detached homes with two-car garages in clusters of four with a shared driveway.

o   The homes will range in size from 1,400 to 2,100 square feet.

o   All of Pulte's offerings at The Aurora Highlands are expected to be complete by the end of 2022.

One of the major factors impacting Denver’s hot market is that – because of the pandemic – raw materials for home building are becoming harder to come by. However, as more materials become available, home builders are beginning to ramp up production again.

With homes slated to go on sale in fall of this year, it’s a great time to get your finances in order and save up a little more for a down payment or earnest money. If the Aurora Highlands is on your watch list, contact Metrowest – we’d love to show you around this exciting new area!
