Local Homebuilder Plans to Open Seven New Communities in 2019
VISALIA, Calif. – San Joaquin Valley Homes (SJV Homes) had another positive year in 2018, closing 391 homes and opening three new communities, which marks a 21% growth rate compared to 2017, where the homebuilder closed 323 homes.
SJV Homes was the most active homebuilder in Tulare and Kings counties last year, with more building permits pulled than any of its competitors. Most of these communities were in Tulare County, where SJV Homes has long been the dominant builder, according to data provided by the Construction Monitor, which tracks public building records nationwide.
“The numbers tell the story of our strong commitment to building quality homes for our neighbors in the Central Valley, and we are extremely proud of our ongoing success,” said Joe Leal, co-founder for Visalia-based San Joaquin Valley Homes. “Our goal for 2019 is to open seven new neighborhoods located in Tulare, Kingsburg, Hanford, Porterville, Dinuba and Visalia.”
In 2018, SJV Homes opened three projects: Bella Vista, 142 units in Hanford; Brighton, 114 units in Tulare; and Catalina II, 51 units in Visalia. This year, SJV Homes plans to open seven new communities: Bonterra, 125 units in Hanford; Greystone, 124 units in Visalia; Ashton Park, 93 units in Visalia; Summerlyn, 150 units in Kingsburg; Kensington, 134 units in Tulare; Cambria, 80 units in Porterville; and Vista Robles, 138 units in Dinuba.
