Getting your player ready...
When cutting-edge builders Rich Laws and John Keith introduced their luxury single-family homes at Parkside in master-planned RidgeGate near the Lone Tree Arts Center last year, the enclave was a smash hit – selling like tickets to Pavarotti, and winning a national Best-in-American-Living Award. Now the same Berkeley Homes/Harvard Communities consortium is set to open pre-sales on NorthSky at RidgeGate – doubtless the best home sites RidgeGate has ever released.
This Thursday at 7 p.m., Harvard-Berkeley will welcome you to a multimedia wine-cheese-desert reception at the Lone Tree Arts Center, where they’ll show those plans (including a roomy ranch); and then begin taking $5,000 fully-refundable checks to be on a priority list for the release of the 33 sites. There’ll be mortgage brokers on hand to run pre-qualifications, or you can take the following week (until Sunday the 13th) to get your check and pre-qual to the builders. Sites will be allotted by drawing; but even the least of the 33 have a great deal going for them: all on single-loaded streets, each and every one a walkout, and surrounded by open space – a RidgeGate park across the street that’s part of the Lone Tree rec center; vast Bluffs Regional Park to the south, and the Willow Creek Trail to the west. The 33 lots taper up the hillside, providing unobstructed views for some; and peek-throughs of the back ranges or city lights from prominent outdoor living areas, on practically everything else. Prices start from the low $600s. As at Parkside, designs have a warm, modern look; on sites that allow for a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle; with a strong energy package – Energy Star 3.0. Residents will also get RidgeGate’s incomparable setting, adjacent to two I-25 interchanges, set to be very close to Light Rail when the next station opens through to Sky Ridge Medical Center, not far from where Charles Schwab is creating a $230 million campus. And within 15 minutes of all of the south I-25 business campuses; much closer still to Park Meadows. Lone Tree Arts Center where Thursday’s 7 p.m. presentation will be is at 10075 Commons Street, two blocks south of Lincoln Avenue on Yosemite. You can also peek at the site (there’s an on-site trailer on Crossington Way, just east of the Willow Creek trailhead, open 1-to-4 p.m. today; west of I-25 on RidgeGate Parkway to RidgeGate Circle, then west to Hillston, and south to Crossington; or email NorthSky@LiveBerkeley.com.
