Hermosa Village earns 2021 NAHB Best in American Living Award

Cadence McShane Construction Company has announced that its Hermosa Village Apartments received first place in this year's National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Best in American Living Award, in the category of "Multifamily Developments Up to 3-stories for Rent."

The project was selected out of hundreds of BALA entries based on the criteria of exterior and interior design, efficient land use, site plan creativity, building plans, innovative material application, and the ability to meet the client needs.

One of the hardest decisions multifamily developers and their design teams have to make is what mix of amenities they’re going to put into each project. A lot of squiggly factors go into that decision: the type of community, the geographic market, local recreation preferences, climate/weather conditions, physical parameters, and of course the budget. The permutations are mind-boggling.
