San Diegan Bill Davidson named to national Builder Magazine Hall of Fame for Design Excellence

Oct. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- San Diego homebuilder Bill Davidson, more than a dozen times recognized locally for outstanding new home design, was inducted Oct. 12 into the national Builder Magazine’s Hall of Fame for Design Excellence.

Davidson’s induction in the Wm. S. Marvin Hall of Fame for Design Excellence took place during the 31st annual Builder’s Choice Awards Gala in Washington DC. The honor recognizes Builder’s Choice-winning architects and builders who have a legacy of award-winning designs.

“Since he began building new homes in California more than 30 years ago, Bill Davidson has displayed a deep reverence for design, exceptional attention to detail, and a knack for understanding home buyers that time and again has elevated his neighborhoods to award-winning status,” said Denise Dersin, editor in chief of Builder magazine. “We are very pleased to be able to recognize Bill’s longstanding commitment to design.”

Called a “maverick” in a March 2005 San Diego Union-Tribune feature story, Davidson’s design and marketing innovations include: the first and now famous pink houses at Pointe Del Mar in the Del Mar Highlands and the early adoption of outdoor living and dining rooms at multiple projects in San Diego.

Davidson’s projects have been honored with local, regional and national building industry awards.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) presented “Community of the Year” to Cielo in Rancho Santa Fe in 2000 and in 1996 to Summerfield in Temecula. In 1992, NAHB named Davidson’s Mt. Woodson “Master Planned Community of the Year.”  

In the Western region, PCBC has bestowed multiple Gold Nugget honors on Davidson neighborhoods, most recently for Atrium at Eastlake in Chula Vista (Grand Award, 2007).

Locally, the Sales and Marketing Council of the San Diego Building Industry Association has awarded Davidson an unprecedented 14 Grand SAM awards.

Davidson Communities is now selling new homes in San Diego at Sentinels at Del Sur and soon will have homes for sale in the Rancho Santa Fe golf course neighborhood Arista at The Crosby. An interest list also is started for new homes at Miraval at Torrey Highlands by Davidson Communities.

Headquartered in Del Mar, California, Davidson has been building high-quality homes of architectural distinction for California consumers since 1978. Information on Davidson Communities is available online at www.davidsoncommunities.com.
