Menkes Developments, one of the GTA’s top builders, claimed one of the most prestigious prizes at the 2013 Durham Region Home Builders’ Association (DRHBA) Awards of Excellence on April 11, 2013. The celebrated
Somerset community in Ajax at Salem Road and Taunton Road was awarded the highly coveted “Community of the Year” accolade by offering the highest combination of overall product quality, site selection, advertising, promotion, on-site presentation and architectural design, as determined by the panel of industry experts. Aesthetic merit, innovation and effectiveness in design/planning were also key criteria.
In addition, Menkes was thrilled to take home the award for Best Interior Decorated Model Home. The home deemed to be the finest in all of Durham Region is the breath-taking Alabaster model at Menkes’ award-winning Somerset community.
The Alabaster corner design is a spacious 42’ two-storey home, offering an abundance of windows that immerse the house in warmth and light. The home was designed with families in mind, offering ample living, bedroom, washroom and closet space to satisfy virtually any growing family. The design itself is functional, enhanced with exquisite features like Caesarstone countertops, fine kitchen cabinetry with tall uppers, sumptuous ensuites, hardwood flooring and much, much more. Clean lines, modern décor and elegant window treatments showcase the home’s livability. The chosen colour pallet creates an inviting-yet-calming atmosphere that allows potential home owners to relax and take in all the possibilities the home has to offer.
Menkes has just released the final lots in Somerset and after hundreds of new homeowners and a warm sense of community; the grand finale is upon us. The master-planned community has been widely appreciated for its brilliant planning and masterful design, maintaining a pleasant and cozy atmosphere with lovely streetscapes featuring a wide variety of home styles and designs. Charming streets lined with trees and green spaces keep residents connected by creating the atmosphere of a small-town Canadian community within a larger and amenity-rich area.
A major attraction within walking distance of the community is Somerset Plaza, a dynamic shopping destination by
Menkes featuring a 50,000 square foot Metro grocery store, a large-format Shoppers Drug Mart, a TD Canada Trust with drive-thru instant tellers, an LCBO and more. Other lifestyle amenities a short drive away include the Durham Centre and the McLean Community Centre.
With Somerset’s award-winning designs and ideal location, it’s no wonder this community has been such a spectacular success. Now under construction, Phase 4 has sold quickly and there are a limited number of lots still available for fall 2013 closings.
