Midtown at Clear Creek are open.
Midtown, a boutique community from
Brookfield Residential, is positioning itself as a unique alternative to the Highland, Berkeley and Sunnyside neighborhoods, providing new home construction in close proximity to those areas and just minutes from downtown.
When complete, the 184-acre development will include a 47-acre park and about 1,300 single-family homes, with prices starting in the high $200,000 range.The Garden Shed community center will serve as a gathering place for residents with an indoor venue, outdoor plaza and community gardens. Midtown also will have an off-leash dog park.
From tankless water heaters and 92 percent efficient furnaces to the Blue Stained studs used in framing, the homes were designed with energy efficiency in mind. All homes at Midtown will be Energy Star 3.0 verified.
Two builders are currently building at Midtown:
Brookfield Homes and
David Weekley Homes.
"We jumped at the chance to help build the Midtown community," says Rod Staten, project manager for David Weekley. "For our company, being environmentally friendly is more than a buzzword -- it’s the future of building, and we’re excited to align with Brookfield Residential, which shares the same values."
Brookfield's homes will range from 1,700 to 2,200 square feet and start in the mid $300,000 range. The homes feature low-flow fixtures and Dow Powerhouse Solar Shingles, with an opt-in monitoring system accessible from any internet connection that shows energy production and generation.
