Fanfare marks sales office debut at Southern Terrace

Perma-Bilt Homes opens a temporary sales office today at its Southern Terrace community, where visitors will be treated to free refreshments, children's activities and a prize drawing for a barbecue. The celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sales executive Ruth Ochoa said the office will provide buyers with information on the community's four neighborhoods, home sites, features and options. A permanent sales center is scheduled to open in early June with 15 model homes.

"We've designed Southern Terrace to offer something for just about every new-home shopper, including a neighborhood of spacious single-story homes each with a three-car garage, and two neighborhoods with floor plans for first-time or move-up buyers, and finally a collection of spacious two-story homes featuring up to six bedrooms and courtyard entries," Ochoa said.

The community is accessible by taking Interstate 215 to Russell Road and heading west. Sales office hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Monday, when it opens at 11 a.m.
