American Marconi Wireless News - Esencia de Santa Fe Celebrates Successful Grand Opening and Welcomes Future Homeowners

The event welcomed visitors to tour model homes and explore homesites and upcoming move-in opportunities at Esencia de Santa Fe, a 277-acre community delivering new housing to Santa Fe.

"We were pleased to welcome members of the community to experience Esencia de Santa Fe," said Garret Price, President of Price Land and Development Group. "This celebration marked more than the opening of model homes; it was an important step toward delivering a thoughtfully planned community that expands homeownership options for Santa Fe families."

Guests also enjoyed family-friendly activities such as birdhouse painting and observing "goat-scaping" firsthand. This is where goats can be utilized to consume natural grasses and vegetation that heavy machinery or herbicides cannot easily manage, while simultaneously fertilizing and aerating the soil. This is an eco-friendly method to clear brush and manage invasive weeds - and a fun attraction for families to enjoy during the grand opening.

"The grand opening gave future residents an opportunity to see the care and vision behind these homes and the larger community," said Wade Messenger, Division President of Pulte Homes. "We are eager to welcome buyers who value a home that is both attainable and connected to the character of Santa Fe, with thoughtful design, open space and access to the outdoors."

Developed by SFLDP, Esencia de Santa Fe includes market-rate, affordable, and ultimately multifamily housing options. The community is designed to offer a range of residences while incorporating open space in a picturesque setting that reflects Santa Fe's natural landscape.

"It was exciting to welcome families into our model homes and share what is ahead," said Todd Demarets, Division President of D.R. Horton. "The excitement and curiosity at the grand opening reinforced the need for new, unique housing options in Santa Fe. We look forward to building quality homes that can contribute to a community designed for the long term."

While the grand opening of the community was celebrated on Saturday, June 27, the homebuilders have already sold over 20 homes, demonstrating the demand for high-quality, well-priced homes in the Santa Fe area.
