Waldorf, MD – June 14, 2006. Slenker Communities, a developer of mixed-use, all-age and Active Adult 55+ Resort Communities, will host a Model Homes Grand Opening at Central Parke® at Colonial Charles in Waldorf, Maryland on Saturday, June 17 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Four decorated single family home models are now open.

Central Parke® at Colonial Charles will feature a private Resort Club offering an inviting colonial-style décor with an outdoor terrace overlooking a pond and fountains. Inside, homeowners can play cards, take a cooking class, or exercise in the state-of-the-art fitness center. The private Resort Club also features a whirlpool spa and sauna; billiards and sports lounge; and a cyber lounge. The community will also include an indoor and outdoor pool and a tennis court. All Central Parke® Communities include their signature “Carefree Maintenance Program” which covers fertilizing and mowing lawns, mulching, cleaning gutters, and shoveling snow, as well as shrub trimming and pesticide maintenance.

Slenker Communities is a recognized leader in the Active Adult housing industry and has a history of developing award-winning communities. This past January, the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) 50+ Housing Council selected their Laurel, Maryland community, Central Parke® at Victoria Falls, as Best Overall Midsize Active Adult Community in the nation for 2006. 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 2004, the developer also received two awards for Central Parke® at Ocean Pines, their 55+ community near Ocean City, Maryland. Central Parke® at Ocean Pines was also named twice as one of the 100 Best Master-Planned Communities in the U.S. by Where to Retire magazine.

Slenker Communities is also developing Central Parke® at Milford Ponds in Milford, Delaware with plans for more communities underway.
