Standard Pacific Acquires Homesites in Wake Forest, NC Neighborhood

March 8th, 2010

Big things are happening for Standard Pacific Homes Carolinas! Just a couple weeks ago, we announced that our Charlotte division had acquired the Glenmore community in South Charlotte. Today, we have more news: our Raleigh division has acquired the remaining 110 homesites in Northampton, our first community in the Wake Forest market!

Northampton was formerly owned by St. Lawrence Homes, which launched the community in 2003. We couldn’t be more excited to develop the remaining homesites and create beautiful, high-quality Wake Forest homes that we know you will love.

A few details about Northampton:

Our new homesites range from 69 to 75 feet wide and will feature single family homes
We’ll offer 10 different floor plans, including two ranch plans
Three-car garages, carriage garages and 3rd floor attic are optional on select plans
170 residents currently live in the Northampton neighborhood
The community already has a fully functional swim and recreation center
Jones Dairy Elementary is within walking distance

Standard Pacific has already begun construction in Northampton, starting with the 3,644 sq. ft. Ashford model. The planned opening of this home is set for early spring of this year — we hope you’ll stop by and take a look!
