GreenDoor at Edenglen to Celebrate Grand Opening This Saturday in Ontario

ONTARIO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 5, 2011) - When it makes its grand opening debut this weekend, October 8th, Brookfield Homes' GreenDoor at Edenglen in Ontario promises to reconnect you with everything that matters: peace and quiet, family and friends, home. Showcasing new designs for modern living, GreenDoor is a real neighborhood of brand-new detached homes that offer more space, technologically advanced and energy-efficient features, including solar panels, extra garage space and up to three-car flex parking, and comfortable yards for entertaining and outdoor living year-round.

The public is invited to celebrate the model grand opening of GreenDoor, beginning at 10 a.m. with a pancake breakfast for the early birds, and the festivities will continue throughout the day featuring ice cream treats, music, fun raffle prizes and more. An onsite, interactive lab will display some of the homes' energy-efficient and money-saving features and demonstrate the positive impact on the environment. Highlights include solar panels, insulation, Solarban windows, etc.

GreenDoor's single-family home designs offer four large, open floor plans that create the perfect setting for family activities and entertaining. Ranging from approximately 1,710 to 2,054 square feet, the homes will encompass three to four bedrooms and up to three baths, and all of that spaciousness will be included in prices that are anticipated to start in the low $300,000s.

Highlighting the impressive floor plans are gourmet island kitchens and a host of features that will make it easy for homeowners to maximize their comfort and minimize their utility bills. Those features are led by standard solar panels that deliver estimated electricity savings of approximately $50 every month (savings are based on project solar electric production and assume SCE schedule D Tier 1 electricity prices as of 9/1/11.)

In addition, GreenDoor homes are built with 50% more wall insulation and 25% more attic insulation than a typical new home, which helps keep heat out in the summer and inside during the winter. Further maintaining optimum temperatures, high-quality Solarban 70XL windows eliminate approximately 75% of the sun's heat from entering each home. Please refer to the Solarban specification sheets at the GreenDoor sales office.

To accommodate the latest technological advancements, each home's Tec Panel and structured wiring system can be configured to meet changing communications and media needs. Add it all up and the independent HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rates GreenDoor twice as efficient as the average new home and four times more efficient than a 20-year-old home.

Adding to GreenDoor's unique appeal is the inviting social and neighborly environment of the master-planned community of Edenglen. That environment is enhanced by a multitude of resort style amenities, beginning with a community clubhouse featuring space for entertaining, arcade-style game room, televisions, outdoor gas grills, swimming pool with children's splash pool, pool house pavilion, playgrounds, two half-size basketball courts, numerous rose gardens and pocket parks. Pinheiro Park is the perfect setting for summer concerts and outdoor movie nights. In addition, hiking and bike trails extend throughout the greater community, offering close-to-home fitness opportunities.

With homeowner's association dues as low as $150 per month, a low 1.06% tax rate and CFD/Special Assessments of $1,240 a year, GreenDoor offers convenience, comfort, style, and resort amenities at a great price.

Sales representatives are currently offering guided tours of the model homes under construction and are available to meet by appointment to prequalify you with the assistance of a BHS Home Loans representative.
