Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods Receives Pacesetter Award as one of Atlanta's Fastest Growing Companies

ATLANTA - May 14, 2013 - PRLog -- On April 26, Cobb Galleria Centre played host to the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 18th annual celebration of the city’s fastest growing privately owned companies. Before a jam-packed house that included some of Atlanta’s boldest and brightest executives, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods was recognized with a 2013 Pacesetter Award. After hanging out their shingle just three years ago, the Acadia team was humbled by its lofty position at #5 out of 100 Pacesetter recipients for increased revenue of 3,887% from 2010 to 2012. Tim Lee, chairman of Cobb County Board of Commissioners, presented the Pacesetter Award to Gregg Goldenberg, President and CEO of Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods.

Founded on the principles of integrity, quality and an unyielding devotion to customer satisfaction, this Atlanta-based homebuilder and developer is the shared vision of real estate and construction veterans – Gregg Goldenberg, Jon Roby and Thomas Olson. Comprised of six neighborhoods at its inception just three years ago, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods skyrocketed to 18 neighborhoods in 2012 – with more on the way. After celebrating 51 closings on new homes in 2011, Acadia was delighted to triple that number with 153 closings in 2012. In keeping with the growth of the company’s inventory, sales, and reputation, so follows the expansion of the Acadia team. The Atlanta new homebuilder added 36 staff members in 2012, including sales agents, construction supervisors, executives, and marketing specialists. In Summer 2013, Acadia plans to cut the ribbon on their new offices and design center in Cobb County.

“To say we were pleasantly surprised by our position on this list of 2013 Pacesetters would be an understatement,” explains Goldenberg. “We are in the company of truly innovative local businesses that are dedicated to not only getting Atlanta’s economy back on track, but have set their sights on improving the national economy, as well. When we founded our company in 2010, Jon, Thomas and I hoped to remain true to our credo of being ‘A New Builder for a New Time.’ This award serves to validate that Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods is achieving everything we set out to do – to help lead the recovery and breathe new life into Atlanta’s housing market. We are extremely thankful to the Atlanta Business Chronicle for this recognition and our inclusion in a terrific event.”

Acadia’s most recent successes are also reflected in the 2012 introductions of the Signature Collection featuring skillfully crafted semi-custom homes priced from the $500,000’s to $800,000’s in Atlanta’s most distinctive neighborhoods and the Capitol Collection showcasing affordable, quality construction homes priced from the mid $100,000’s to the $200,000’s in the region’s most sought after communities. Currently building in single family, active adult and townhome communities within Cherokee, Cobb, Dekalb, Forsyth, Fulton, and Jackson Counties, thoughtfully-inspired and beautifully realized new homes by Acadia can be found in many of Metro Atlanta’s most appealing towns and cities.

Endeavoring to build a company as distinctive and lasting as the homes it constructs, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods has aligned itself with trusted financial backers who put their faith in the knowledge, ability and reliability of Acadia’s leadership team. Confident that this up-and-coming homebuilder is here to stay, forward-thinking lenders and developers facilitated Acadia’s debut and subsequent growth in the marketplace. Through a bold blend of industry experience and avant-garde vision, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods has carved out a very special niche in the Atlanta market. Goldenberg, Roby, Olson and Acadia’s team of dedicated architectural design, construction, marketing and real estate experts seek to inspire Atlanta families with exceptional homes of unsurpassed quality and value.
