Renaissance Homes announces new “Vintage Collection”
by Laura Wahlberg
Renaissance Homes announced that they have begun a new division named “The Vintage Collection” and they will specialize in building in older Portland neighborhoods. The collection will offer plans featuring traditional ‘old Portland’ architecture while bringing updated interior floor plans and features – all of which Renaissance Homes is so well known for.
“This is a passion for us and we have 26 years of unique insight gained from building homes for Portland area residents. We are now looking to purchase existing lots in a wide variety of Portland neighborhoods and build homes that blend seamlessly with their neighbors. We are filling a niche by blending the best of both worlds with a distinctive Portland neighborhood look with all of the consumer advantages offered by a thoroughly updated Renaissance floor plan and interior,” said Randy Sebastian, President of Renaissance.
In addition to getting a new home with current building codes being incorporated which will provide lower maintenance and utility costs, our buyers will have the advantage of the most current ‘green building’ practices of any builder in the Portland area. Renaissance has long been seen as the industry pioneer and leader in green building, having initiated many practices which will soon become code requirements in Oregon.
Sebastian reported that Renaissance will soon begin work on several lots including one in the Sellwood area, another near the Rose City Golf Course and in North Portland. Our intent is to provide buyers with a new way of thinking about old Portland neighborhoods. Our homes will provide them with the ambiance of these neighborhoods the great parks, schools and quaint shopping areas coupled with the most modern building practices of any builder.”
“Our intent is to build about 100 homes a year throughout Portland in the Vintage Collection along with our various suburban neighborhoods, such as Lake Oswego, West Linn and Clark County.” Sebastian added: “the fact is that we will build our customersthe home the way they want it designed and built, where they want it and at anytime.”
