Southshore wins “National Masterplanned Community of the Year” competition

Southshore, a waterside community in southeast Aurora, has been named the "National Masterplanned Community of the Year," by the National Sales & Marketing Council of the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB). Developed by John Laing Homes and Village Homes, Southshore is the first Colorado community to win this coveted designation. Located near E-470 and Smoky Hill Road, Southshore hosted last year's Parade of Homes. "Aurora's proud to have Southshore, the National Masterplanned Community of the Year, in our great city," said Aurora Mayor Ed Tauer. "Southshore's not just great houses. It's the 21st century model for bringing people, open space, entertainment and great shopping together in a vibrant package." Susan Peterson, general manager of Laing/Village, LLC, the developer of Southshore, was thrilled the community received such high honors. "We're all still on Cloud Nine. We especially appreciate the city of Aurora's partnership and support in our development. I think if you talk with any of our residents, you'll appreciate why they love living at Southshore, " Peterson said.
