Josh Paterson Joins Paran Homes as VP of Construction

Commercial and Residential Construction Veteran Rounds Out the Leadership Team at Metro Atlanta-Based Regional Home Builder

Duluth, Ga, January 22, 2018 – Expanding throughout the Southeast with imaginative communities showcasing stunning new construction homes, Paran Homes is pleased to announce an expansion of a different sort: the growth of its leadership team with the addition of Josh Paterson as its new VP of Construction. Boasting a colorful portfolio that includes a number of highly respected builders and widely recognizable commercial brands, this newest team member has already hit the ground running as even more growth is projected for 2018 in Paran Homes’ major markets of Atlanta and Nashville.

“Josh brings with him a wealth of experience and a very cool body of work that includes construction projects for Bugaboo Creek Steakhouses, Dunkin Donuts, IHOP, Chilis, public schools and medical facilities, as well as a variety of communities launched by a number of builders who share a similar dedication to quality,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “Like us, Josh is very focused on the customer experience. He’s going to be looking to streamline processes, increase value and enhance our level of quality even further for the good of the Paran Homes’ buyer.”

Having launched his construction career in 1992, Paterson is considered a seasoned veteran with turns at GT Builders, Touchstone Homes, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods and Taylor Morrison. During his time at Touchstone Homes, he played an integral role in the company’s recognition as “America’s Best Builder” by Builder Magazine in 2007. During the early part of his career, Paterson also worked alongside his father at a family-owned construction company for a number of years where their largest account was Centex Homes. In addition to liking the fact that Paran Homes is a privately-owned company with an outstanding corporate culture, Paterson was drawn to the regional homebuilder by the opportunity it represents for him and the rest of the leadership team to take it to the next level.

“I hope to bring leadership, accountability and the best people and trade partners I can find to the Construction Division at Paran Homes,” said Paterson. “One of my first challenges is to rebuild our start process to an even-flow system for a more consistent timeline. It’s somewhat of an assembly line mentality for a more efficient process that benefits the buyer, our subcontractors and the company as a whole. It’s all about quality over quantity. As one result, Paran will be the builder of choice among subcontractors because they know when they show up, the project will be organized and the job will be ready for them. Customer service will continue to be a huge emphasis going forward. Marking another important element of the even-flow system and the additional time it allows, I will initiate quality assurance inspections prior to a buyer’s new home orientation. Not only will this ensure that the home is built to our standards, but it will also help us catch any potential defects and correct them. A short punch list at the new home orientation means well-deserved peace of mind for the buyer.”

In its home base of Georgia, Paran Homes has a presence throughout the Atlanta area in 14 new home communities stretching all the way from Jefferson to the North and Powder Springs to the West. Beyond Georgia, Paran Homes also boasts communities in Tennessee and North Carolina.

Paran Homes Raises the Curtain on Heritage Pointe in Lawrenceville

Southeast Homebuilder Introduces Its Newest Gwinnett County Community, Featuring Single-Family Homes Priced from the High $200’s

Duluth, Ga, January 24, 2018  –  As a Gwinnett County-based business, it only makes sense that Paran Homes would elect to focus a fair amount of energy on the second largest county in Georgia in terms of population. With a highly successful run at Wheatfields Reserve in Grayson and a promising start at the new Villas at Park Place in Stone Mountain, Paran Homes is eager to see the response to its latest Gwinnett County single-family community, Heritage Pointe in Lawrenceville. Showcasing five stunning floor plans and a variety of elegant elevations from which to choose, two-story homes in Heritage Pointe are now pre-selling with a starting price of $275,990.

“We’re really proud of the location we’ve selected for Heritage Pointe,” said Paran Homes’ President, Michael Rosenberg. “Situated near Highway 316 and Buford Drive, the community is convenient to the best Gwinnett County has to offer – the Mall of Georgia, Gwinnett County Airport, Gwinnett Medical Center, historic Downtown Lawrenceville, a number of Gwinnett’s award-winning parks, Georgia Gwinnett College, I-85 and so much more. We’re finding that both Gwinnett County and the City of Lawrenceville are highly dedicated to economic development – making this an excellent time to move here and reap the rewards of a major employment center that is not only devoted to community, but also to serving as a tourist destination. What that means for residents is that it’s a great place to raise a family and there is no shortage of fun things to do here.”

Future residents of Heritage Pointe can enjoy shopping and dining in the bustling and ever-growing Mall of Georgia area, exploring area parks such as the 200-acre Rabbit Hill Park or 162-acre Rhodes Jordan Park with pool and tennis center, catching a Gwinnett Stripers baseball game at Coolray Field, taking in a play at Aurora Theatre or attending a family-friendly festival in Downtown Lawrenceville – just to name a few. Students living in Heritage Pointe will be afforded access to the highly revered Gwinnett County Public School System – including Dyer Elementary, Twin Rivers Middle and Mountainview High Schools.

To select a homesite and launch construction on the floor plan of their choosing, prospective homebuyers are encouraged to visit the Heritage Pointe sales center, located at 900 Progress Drive in Lawrenceville.

Paran Homes Hits the Halfway Mark at The Woods of Midvale

Homes Priced from the $500’s are Selling Quickly in New DeKalb County Community

Duluth, Ga, December 22, 2017 –  After announcing that construction was underway at The Woods of Midvale in November 2017, homes in this stunning enclave have been selling rapidly. With 10 of 20 single-family homes priced from the $500’s presold to date, Atlanta-based Paran Homes is at the halfway mark in the community that served as its introduction to both the City of Tucker and DeKalb County. The regional homebuilder has also launched construction on three of the remaining homesites to feature spec houses that will be available for a closing date in Spring 2018.

“We’re thrilled with the response thus far to The Woods of Midvale,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Atlanta-based Paran Homes. “This community represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a new construction home in Tucker – something Atlanta homebuyers are clearly seeking. We’re finding that buyers are not only attracted to this awesome area of Atlanta and the imaginative floor plans we’ve selected for the community, but they also appreciate the idea of a semi-custom experience. Not only do they get to have their pick of the last seven estate-sized homesites – many of which offer private, beautifully wooded backyards, but they also get to choose from eight different floor plans. Once the home site and floor plan have been selected, they get to work with our talented team of professionals at the Paran Homes’ Design Center. There, they can choose all of the interior and exterior designer finishes that will make their home truly unique to their family’s specific needs, distinctive tastes and collective personality.”

For even more variety between one home and the next in The Woods at Midvale, each floor plan comes with a choice of three elevations. Some floor plans offer a desirable master on main, one-level living, 3-car garage and more. All residents of The Woods of Midvale will benefit from Paran Homes commitment to quality with energy-efficient construction and 30-year architectural roofs. To select a homesite and launch construction on the floor plan of their choosing, prospective homebuyers are encouraged to visit the Woods of Midvale sales center, located at 3533 Reevley Lane in Tucker.

In addition to beautiful homes, The Woods of Midvale provides its residents with convenience to everything the city of Tucker has to offer. Located near I-285, LaVista Road and Northlake Parkway, homeowners will enjoy shopping and dining in and around the Northlake Mall area. A number of delightful parks nearby add to the allure, including the sprawling 121-acre Henderson Park, the more intimate 17-acre Kelly C. Cofer Park and the 68-acre Lucky Shoals Park. This new Dekalb County community also boasts convenience to the attractions, recreational outlets and jam-packed calendar of events at one of Atlanta’s most popular destinations, Stone Mountain Park. Students living in The Woods of Midvale will be afforded access to Midvale Elementary, Henderson Middle and Tucker High Schools.

In addition to the Woods of Midvale, Paran Homes has a presence throughout the Atlanta area in 13 new home communities stretching all the way from Jefferson to the North and Powder Springs to the West.

HomeAid Renovates at SafeHouse Outreach Service Center

Restroom renovation provides dignity for individuals experiencing homelessness

Atlanta, GA – In late December 2017, HomeAid Atlanta helped to complete a total renovation of the restroom facilities at SafeHouse Outreach’s downtown service center and headquarters.  SafeHouse Outreach is an Atlanta nonprofit with a mission to affect real change in the lives of those experiencing homelessness by providing a hand-up, not just a hand-out.

HomeAid Atlanta Builder Captain Vince Longo of Vincent Longo Custom Builders headed up construction efforts for this much-needed project. SafeHouse provides dinner every night for approximately 150 people experiencing homelessness, and the bathroom facilities were not keeping up. HomeAid’s completed project now provides additional space and dignity to those receiving assistance at SafeHouse.

This project marked Vince Longo’s third time partnering with HomeAid Atlanta. In 2015, Vince served as a volunteer Builder Captain for a total renovation and expansion with ADA upgrade of office facilities at Roswell’s The Drake House.  In late 2016 and early 2017, he led a series of HomeAid Care Days at SafeHouse with the Whitefield Academy Men’s Fraternity.

HomeAid provided a savings of approximately 82% of the total cost of the bathroom project.  Interceramic Tile & Stone Gallery generously donated 100% of the tile to help make this project possible.

"It has been a tremendous honor to work with HomeAid as they helped us renovate our bathroom. I'm excited to call HomeAid and SafeHouse Outreach partners in our work to impact lives in a positive way," said Josh Bray, CEO of SafeHouse Outreach.    

HomeAid Atlanta, founded in 2001, is a nonprofit organization that builds new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach. HomeAid works in partnership with the building industry, as well as community building organizations, to assist people experiencing homelessness. To date, HomeAid Atlanta has completed over 85 housing, remodel and care day projects at locations that serve victims of domestic violence, teen mothers, veterans and more. HomeAid is the designated charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. Learn more: www.homeaidatlanta.org.
