The Best of the Building Industry Honored at the Sixth Annual STARS Awards Gala
RALEIGH - Nearly 400 building industry professionals from North Carolina and surrounding states gathered at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte, NC, on Sept. 10, 2008 for the Sixth Annual STARS Awards Gala.

Winners received recognition across 41 categories that covered marketing, advertising, web design, sales centers, landscape design, interior merchandising, architecture/floor plans and special projects. Awards were also given to local home builders associations, communities of the year, a distinguished associate member and a distinguished builder member.

The STARS Awards Gala is held in conjunction with the 21st Century Building Expo & Conference sponsored by the North Carolina Home Builders Association. Each year the competition pays tribute to members who make major contributions to the residential home building industry. In 2008, the program boasted a record number of entries, and a total of 63 STARS awards were presented at the awards gala along with the recognition of 20 Outstanding Achievements. The STARS Awards ultimately symbolize tremendous achievement, honor, and distinction among building industry professionals. Among the awards:

Hidden Lake Awarded "Green Project of the Year"
Hidden Lake recently received the prestigious “Green Project of the Year” award from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Crescent representatives accepted the award at the National Green Building Conference in New Orleans.

The land plan, designed to make a minimal impact on the existing environment, garnered the recognition of the NAHB. Development of the community, along with the ongoing environmental education for homeowners and existing natural amenities, make Hidden Lake a “natural” fit for this award.

Raleigh Accolades Continue
According to MSNBC, Raleigh, N.C., is the best place to be in the country right now. MSNBC ranked the city first in its list of top places to live in the United States. Forbes gave the city the same position for 2008 and 2007 – achieving the back-to-back top ranking is truly rare. Kiplinger’s listed Raleigh as No. 2 this year but advised that the city could reach the top next year.

As noted in the Triangle Business Journal, economist John Connaughton forecasts that the state’s economy will grow 2.2 percent in 2008, marking the seventh consecutive year of expansion. The state is expected to add nearly 35,000 net jobs this year.

Hidden Lake is Honored
Hidden Lake has become a Certified Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary, only the fifth community in North Carolina to achieve this recognition (two other Crescent communities – Black Forest on Lake James and the Sanctuary in Charlotte – have received the honor). In the coming weeks, Hidden Lake is also expected to earn its Triple Diamond status from Audubon International, which is the highest level of certification in its Gold Signature Program.

These honors recognize the efforts of the development team to ensure the community makes a minimum impact on the environment. This is not only the right thing to do for Mother Nature’s sake – it also allows her to take center stage. And, everyone stepping foot on this beautiful property appreciates that. The homes available at Hidden Lake are as green as the community in which they reside. Click here to learn more.
