Tarragon Announces Homebuilders for New Community in South Hill!

We’re excited to share we have partnered with four outstanding homebuilders who are committed to raising the bar with us in our brand-new South Hill community—Uplands. Tarragon has selected Century Communities, Conner Homes, Lennar, and Richmond American Homes to step up and build our first phase of new homes at Uplands. These four builders are trusted names in the Pacific Northwest area and have the experience to deliver homes that are up to our standards here at Uplands.

“The builders we chose are dependable and trusted in the state of Washington,” said Dennis Rattie, President of Tarragon. “It is important to us that we work with builders who understand and support our mission to cultivate community wherever we work and deliver high-quality homes to our future homeowners. We are excited to bring their innovative floor plans to the community.”

Planting roots near Puyallup in the South Hill area, these homes will be centrally located in Pierce County. The intentional and innovative design of the individual homes and the community overall will be a big draw for homebuyers. Tarragon is creating a walkable community where residents can get out and explore, gather for events large and small, and truly enjoy the outdoors on a daily basis. The diverse home types at Uplands will offer something for everyone, with unique plans to fit unique lifestyles. Homes will be surrounded by nearly 25 acres of parks and recreation space, including playgrounds, pools, The Club at Uplands (our clubhouse), and state-of-the-art fitness center, all with a focus on sustainability.

Dreaming of waking up to a view of majestic Mt. Rainier? We can make that happen. And don’t worry, the stunning view isn’t limited to just a few homes—the expansive Uplands Community Park and Clubhouse will offer views for everyone to enjoy.

Since 2002, Century Communities has been building on its vision of a home for every dream in sought-after metros from coast to coast—specializing in everything from single-family homes to townhomes, paired homes, and condos in 18 states and over 45 markets across the U.S. They also offer a hands-on process—uniquely tailored to your needs and lifestyle—providing guidance on neighborhood amenities, smart home technologies, home loans and more. It’s all about delivering the quality home you’ve been dreaming of. Century will have 40 new homes available in the initial phase at Uplands.

With over 60 years of experience in home building in Washington State, Conner Homes lives in the community where they build. And since they plan to be here for another 60 years and beyond, it’s essential that their homes—and their service—stand the test of time. They have proudly built over 6,000 homes, establishing themselves as industry leaders, and will have 29 new builds in the initial phase at Uplands.

Since 1954, Lennar has built over one million new homes for families across America, and they’ll be building 44 more in the initial phase at Uplands. Their commitment to Quality, Value, and Integrity is the underlying foundation upon which Lennar was built, and these three fundamental principles still guide them in caring for their customers, associates, shareholders, and community.

Richmond American Homes will have 42 single-family homes available in the initial phase at Uplands, adding to their portfolio of 240,000+ homes they have built from coast to coast. The companies operating under the Richmond American name have communities under construction in 16 states. Their parent company, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., is ranked among the top 10 builders in the nation. They take pride in knowing that their real success is that no two homes are exactly alike.

The initial phase of single-family homes at Uplands will include 110 acres of sloped terrain in South Hill, with an additional 173 acres still to come and under development. Home sizes initially will range from 2,200-3,500 SF. When all is said and done, Uplands will be a robust community of more than 1,000 homes that seamlessly integrate into the natural environment.
