Laurel, MD ­ April 25, 2006. Bill Slenker, President of Slenker Land Corporation, a developer of mixed-use, all-age and Active Adult communities, recently addressed the Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association’s 50+ Housing Council. The event was held at Central Parke® at Victoria Falls. Slenker Communities is currently developing the award-winning 55+ community located in Laurel, Maryland.

According to Bill Slenker, President of Slenker Communities, “A couple of things that help make all of our Central Parke® communities successful is our attention to site planning and architectural design of the homes as well as the resort clubs. There are other Active Adult communities out there that are huge—thousands of homes all built by one builder. Our communities are smaller, with more intimate neighborhoods. Further, by having a variety of builders and home styles, people have greater choices, and the differing architectural styles give the community character that is often missing in new home communities.”

Central Parke® at Victoria Falls offers luxury condominiums with elevator service and private garages by Sturbridge Homes from the high $200’s; Craftstar Homes is building one and two-car garage villas from the mid $300’s; Drees Homes offers two car garage deluxe villas from the high $400’s; and Michael Harris Homes is building single family homes from the low $500’s.

In January, Central Parke® at Victoria Falls was chosen Best Overall Midsize Active Adult Community in the nation by the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) 50+ Housing Council. This award is the highest honor that a community can receive in a category. Last year, the same organization chose Central Parke® at Victoria Falls Best Community in the early development stages. Central Parke® at Victoria Falls was the only Active Adult community in the Mid-Atlantic region to receive this honor. Central Parke® at Victoria Falls swept all four Active Adult categories for each of its superlative home products at last year’s Monument Awards sponsored by the Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association and the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association. This prestigious awards program honors superior home design and community planning.

In addition to Victoria Falls, Central Parke® 55+ Resort Communities is currently developing Central Parke® at Colonial Charles in Charles County, Maryland and Central Parke® at Milford Ponds in Milford, Delaware.
