Six new projects open in Summerlin

Three builders recently introduced six new neighborhoods in Summerlin. The additions bring to 39 the number of actively selling neighborhoods within the master-planned community, where about 23 new residential developments are expected to open this year, according Larry Brocato, executive vice president of The Howard Hughes Corp., developer of the community.

"Summerlin is on track to continue developing at a brisk pace," Brocato said. "The success experienced by (our) builders keeps our pipeline of new neighborhoods going strong. Our home builders recognize the appeal of the community to prospective home buyers and they are eager to continue building here."

Three of the latest releases are located within The Vistas village, and are all Pulte Homes products scheduled to open on Saturday, April 26.
