Newark Housing Development Wins Awards

NEWARK, CA - Timber, built in Newark by California homebuilder Trumark Homes and designed by KTGY, received top honors at the 2016 Building Industry Association Bay Area Excellence in Home Building Awards earlier this month.

Timber received the “Multi-Product Community of the Year” Award and “Best Architectural Design – Multi-Family” Award. The community also received an award for “Best Signage.”

“Trumark Homes is honored to be recognized with these exceptional awards for our Timber community and partnership with KTGY,” said Mark Higgins, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Trumark Homes. “We were able to capitalize on Newark’s emergence as a key market in Alameda County introducing new homes to meet buyer demand in the area. With more than 150 homes sold to date, we anticipate the remaining inventory moving quickly as Timber becomes a thriving community desired for its proximity to transportation, major employment centers and entertainment options.”

Timber offers both single-family detached homes and townhomes for sale within a short distance of the Dumbarton Bridge, AC Transit and the Dumbarton Express.

“Answering the high demand for new housing in the Bay Area, we transformed a former old RV storage parking lot into a beautiful neighborhood that set a new standard for development within Newark,” said KTGY Chairman Jill Williams, AIA, and lead principal on the project. “The homes are a blend of modern and Craftsman-style architecture that feature a neutral palette, hardscapes and finishes that blend interiors and exteriors seamlessly.”

The development of Timber marked the first new development in Newark in more than a decade.
