Here’s a pre-construction photo of our Street of Dreams lot. Change will come quickly as we will pour our foundation Friday. Check back for weekly updates and a behind the scenes look as this home takes shape.
Here at Renaissance we love to hear from our home owners! Check out the note here from Bart L.
Hello,
I have seen your building commercials lately and just had to send a note of compliment! A couple months ago my wife and I moved about a mile in West Linn downsizing 1,000 feet from a more expensive home. We purchased a 12 year old Renaissance home at Coeur D’Alene Drive.
We are so completely impressed by the design, quality, and use of space of this new home that we can hardly stand it. Even the outdoor features are of great quality.
Keep building these great homes!
Bart L.
Senior Marketing Associate
Thank you Bart! We would love hear from other home owners as well. Feel free to email us or interact with us on Facebook or Twitter!
16. Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, OR-WA
Market Health Indicator: 34.4
2009 Total Building Permits: 3,821
2010 Building Permit Forecast: 10,156
Builders in the Portland area are placing their bets on a strong recovery in 2010; they pulled 17% more permits in the fourth quarter of last year than they did a year earlier, with nearly all the strength in single-family. The locals are betting on some strong underlying demographics, including a projected 2% increase in household growth and continued in-migration from more expensive California markets. The industry doesn’t appear deterred by the region’s urban growth boundaries or its new eco-districts. Market Intelligence is predicting big things for Portland–an increase of 6,200 in building permits. While Portland’s Renaissance Homes became one of the first major builders to emerge from Chapter 11 proceedings, two others–Legend Homes and Pacific Lifestyle Homes–are still working on their reorganization plans.

Fiberglass Blown-in Insulation Systems (also known as the Polar Blanket) is the latest green building technique used by Renaissance Homes. This system improves a home’s efficiency by filling the wall cavity completely, including the areas around pipes, cables and outlets.

As a continuation to our commitment to Living Green, Renaissance is excited to announce our latest construction feature:
Open Web Floor Truss System allows ducting to run through the insulated “conditioned” space of the home rather than the temperature extremes in the attic which reduces the efficiency of the HVAC system. The open web joists allow ductwork to be installed between the floors of the home creating shorter more efficient duct designs. This translates into continuous reduction in utility bills. *This system is only used in multi-level homes. Click Here for More information.

In a bold move aimed at expanding their market beyond the Portland Metropolitan area boarders, Renaissance Homes announced today that they will commence construction of homes in South Hill/Graham, Washington immediately. The homes will be built under the name Renaissance and under the same corporate umbrella as all of their other corporate endeavors including custom home building and remodeling work.
Company President Randy Sebastian said that ‘the expansion was one that had been long considered but the opportunity came to the forefront of his thinking when Renaissance was able to create a joint venture with a South Puget Sound land owner who has access to a generous supply of finished lots. He indicates that construction in their first neighborhood will begin in this month.
Sebastian sees this as an opportunity to broaden his 25 year old Company’s core business by bringing lower priced homes to the market. In Washington, our intent is to deliver a high quality home at a competitive price which meets the current consumer profile of that area. He indicated that the homes would be in be between 1,722 to 3,044 square foot and will be priced in the from the $180,000’s.
Sebastian acknowledged that the company’s historic strategy was to dominate the upper end of the buyer pyramid and that this move ‘represents a bold departure’ for the company. “The perception has been that our homes were only for the top tier of buyers and we wanted to meet the needs of others too. For years we have had customers wanting to own a Renaissance Home but were unable to. This move enables us to effectively meet the needs of this buyer and bring them custom features at affordable prices.”
With respect to the company’s plans for 2010, Sebastian said it is their intent to enter the Portland Metro market with the same concepts they will be using in Puget Sound. “This entire move is designed to meet the needs of this market based upon the expressions of interest we have received. Land prices, however, will preclude us from reaching the lower points in the Portland market that we can achieve in Washington because of a generous supply of home sites in that market.
Renaissance has continued to build homes in Portland despite the market downturn and should be building their new line of homes in Portland in early 2010, according to Sebastian.
Puget Sound area sales will be handled by Jerry Mahan of John L. Scott Real Estate and can be reached at jerrymahan@msn.com or (253) 691.1400. The first two neighborhoods are Grand Firs and Winterwood, both located off of Meridian Avenue N near 512.
Renaissance Homes is one of the area’s largest builders with neighborhoods underway in Southwest Portland, Beaverton, Wilsonville, West Linn, Lake Oswego, several in Vancouver and Camas. For more information on Renaissance Homes, visit www.Renaissance-Homes.com .
