BROOKFIELD CONTINUES TRADITION OF CREATING AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITIES WITH CIENEGA IN LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, CALIF. — When Brookfield Homes Southland set out to build a collection of 78 gated townhomes in the heart of Long Beach, the company wanted to develop a beautiful, yet intimate neighborhood that exceeded homebuyers’ expectations while simultaneously revealing the company’s signature style, warmth, and details. Today, Brookfield’s unique vision for Cienega has not only been realized, but also far surpassed.

An award-winning and top-selling community, Cienega has earned praise from both homeshoppers and homebuilding industry professionals who treasure its rare combination of classic architecture, warm community feel, feature-filled homes, and desirable location just minutes away from revitalized downtown Long Beach and charming Belmont Shore. Cienega has achieved the kind of recognition most new-home communities can only dream about: the community took home awards for both Best Attached Project and Best Attached Community of the Year at the 2005 MAME (Major Achievement in Marketing Excellence) Awards, and most recently, earned an Élan Award for Best Sales Office within a Model Plan.

“Brookfield has a long tradition of building distinctive communities that consistently earn the industry’s top awards, and Cienega is a fine example of how that tradition lives on,” says Roberta Thitathan , Sales Manager at Cienega.

When homeshoppers visit Cienega, they’ll understand exactly why the unique space has attracted so much praise from the building industry this year. Cienega showcases spacious, well-designed floorplans presenting two to three bedrooms and two and one-half to three and one-half baths in approximately 1,436 to 2,026 square feet of living space. Luxury accents like wrought iron details, custom Spanish deco tiles, and spaces that invite the warmth of natural sunlight make each residence at Cienega worth coming home to every day. Private attached garages provide residents with the convenience of extra storage and the added security of direct access to the townhomes above. Residents at Cienega will also have the added benefit of socializing with their neighbors in the Spanish Courtyard, a unique outdoor gathering area patterned after the authentic plazas found in Spanish Revival-inspired architecture. This special area will be the perfect locale for barbequing, dining alfresco, or simply relaxing by the beautiful outdoor fireplace or traditional deco-tiled fountain.

According to Thitathan, right now is the perfect time to call Cienega home. “Only a handful of homes remain, including residences featuring spectacular city views, as well as professionally designed model homes,” she says.

At Cienega, residents will also be able to enjoy a desirable location near everything that makes Long Beach one of Southern California’s hottest spots around. A host of recreational activities, fine dining, arts and entertainment, and a bustling nightlife in Long Beach are only minutes a way, while work centers in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego are easily accessed via major freeways.

Pricing for Cienega begins in the low $600,000s to the high $700,000s.
