Reunion Colorado is one of Shea Home’s newest master planned communities. Reunion offers new homes in a wide variety of styles and price ranges. As the premier master planned community in the northeast metro Denver area, Reunion provides convenient access to downtown Denver, Aurora, and is just minutes from E-470 and Denver International Airport (DIA).

The name Reunion was chosen to represent a deep appreciation for the past, a sense of wonder about the future, and a commitment to living every moment to the fullest.

Over time, Reunion will connect people through lasting friendships and create a place where each resident is free to pursue happiness - his or her own way. That makes Reunion something entirely new – a community created for the pursuit of happiness.

To help ensure the highest possible quality of life for residents, all of the planning efforts at Reunion were framed by the following four principles:

1. QUALITY COMMUNITY DESIGN

2. BRINGING HOME THE CLASSICS

3. CREATING NEIGHBORHOODS NOT SUBDIVISIONS

4. "NEW SUBURBANISM": PUTTING OLD IDEAS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME

Shea Homes Unveils SPACES Today in Arizona

"It's not your grandmother's house."

Shea Spaces - modern, energy-efficient homes that are inspired by everything from the Apple iPod to California's Midcentury Modern homebuilder Joseph Eichler - will be put to the test.
The new development is quite a departure from the norm in tract homes. The overall feel is more urban, but with slightly more backyard space for a young family. The smaller houses feature sleek, modern fixtures and flexible, informal living areas. They reference the Valley's midcentury roots more than the Tuscan architecture common in new suburban homes.

Spaces will nestle into Shea's existing Seville, near Riggs and Power roads in Gilbert, which has a private golf course and sports club, parks, walkways and 14,000 citrus trees salvaged from the former citrus grove once rooted there.

New Shea Spaces homes are clearly modern, with sleek, spare kitchen cabinets with modern stainless-steel handles and rolling, metal-framed, frosted-glass doors throughout.

A big part of the concept is "flex space" - areas that can easily accommodate a bedroom, family room or office, plus a great room that can be configured several ways. There's space for a dining table, living room and reading or game nook, but without dangling light fixtures or other features that limit one area to a particular use.

The master bathrooms feature large walk-in showers with ceiling-mounted rain showerheads, but no bathtub - a request from young customers. The homes also lack a fireplace but come with a 42-inch LCD television.

The homes are also smaller, ranging from 1,460 to 2,288 square feet. That fits a trend toward smaller new construction. The median floor area of new home starts dropped from 2,216 square feet in the second quarter of 2008 to 2,094 square feet by the third quarter of 2009, according to the National Association of Homebuilders. Concerns about affordability and rising energy costs contribute to the smaller-home trend. But Baby Boomers downsizing to smaller homes and more single-person households are also driving it.

So far, two Spaces communities have opened in California, and two more will open this spring in Colorado. In Gilbert, Shea will build 56 Spaces homes.

The new homes are expected to sell in the mid-$200,000s.

View Your New Home Virtually with Shea Homes

Technology is amazing...Imagine buying your next new home from the comfort of your current home!

Today's struggling economy is driving the use of innovative technologies in new home sales and marketing. A growing trend is the use of Virtual Model Home Tours to replace the use of expensive model home complexes in communities across America.

America's homebuilders are uncovering new ways to cost-effectively market new homes to a new price-sensitive homebuyer: Virtual model homes!

These highly-detailed 3D videos create the spatial experience of walking through a model home and visualizing every detail, before the home is even built. Though the price to create these tours is far less than their physical counterpart, high quality tours can easily cost $10,000 or more. "If you are going to replace the tactile experience of walking through a real model home with a virtual home, it had better be astoundingly realistic or you might have the reverse effect and turn off your prospective homebuyer," said Steve Ormonde, Co-founder of Focus 360, and the inventor of this technology.

The cost of this level of quality and detail has been out of reach of many homebuilders. This is why this week Focus 360 introduced a new more affordable "Value Line" that addresses this price/quality issue head-on. "The biggest obstacle to builders' use of virtual model homes in the past has been the price tag associated with high quality tours," said Ormonde. "Our goal is to provide builders with a solution that is not only more affordable, but one that provides the high quality needed to engage home shoppers and present a builder's product in the best possible light."

Can virtual model tour videos drive sales while decreasing a builder's investment in model homes? "Absolutely!" stated Adam Hieb, Director, Sales and Marketing for Shea Homes. "The days are gone when we could afford to put up multi-million dollar model complexes. Every new Shea home community is different but in general, our use of high quality virtual model tours will greatly reduce the number of model homes needed. Instead of four models for instance, we might be able to get away with one, with the remaining models represented in 3D virtual reality. In some lower profile communities, virtual tours may eliminate models completely - a sales office might suffice. And while we have used Focus 360 for many years for our bigger budget, high profile projects, we are excited that we can now afford them for all our projects."

Green Home Building

Shea Homes Superiology - Green New Homes Building

SheaHomes.com has launched the new Superiology portal featuring copy and video content related to the "green" new homes building. Quick facts videos highlight the different products, methods and more that go into building quality new homes.

Energy Wiser New Homes

How would you like to lower your utility bills? Purchasing a brand-new Shea home is one of the quickest ways to accomplish that. That’s because we adhere to the most current energy-efficient construction standards, and our homes feature numerous items that help reduce your daily
energy costs and increase the long-term efficiency of your home. They include energy-saving heating and air-conditioning systems, Energy Star® appliances at most communities, insulated water heaters and dual-pane windows with low-E glass.

These carefully selected features will ensure that you are able to reap the benefits of living energy-efficiently. And the savings you will enjoy will also increase your buying power, enabling you to buy a larger, more luxurious home than you ever imagined.

Eco-Friendlier New Homes

Do you know what your carbon footprint is? It is the measure of the impact your everyday activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. Because of the materials it takes to build it and the energy it takes to light it and heat it, your home is one of the biggest
contributors to your carbon footprint.

At Shea Homes, we consider it our responsibility to look out for the environment while providing you with a home that is sensitive to our global ecology. That’s why we strive wherever possible to use wood products from sustainable forests, recycle construction materials and incorporate water-conserving appliances and fixtures into our homes. We are proud that our homes will not only help reduce your carbon footprint, but also benefit generations to come by helping reduce America’s carbon footprint.

Designed Smarter New Homes

The minute you step into a Shea home, you can tell that it just feels right, and you can see the attention to detail. That’s because our design process begins with you. We go to great lengths to understand your needs and preferences, and they are the basis of our floor plan design philosophy. They determine the function, flow and livability of our homes and inspire
the creation of specialty spaces that enhance your lifestyle. And with our Five-Sided Architecture(TM), your Shea home will look distinctly different from the ones next door and down the street. We also believe that home design extends beyond your front door, which is why we apply the same approach to community design. The result is a home and community that meet your needs and offer a place of comfort, inspiration and exceptional living.

Built Better New Homes

Building homes is the very core of our business, and that’s why we constantly strive to do it better than anyone else. Experience builds a better home. The Shea family of companies has been in the construction business for more than 125 years, so we know what it takes to build a
home that will last and provide you with many years of satisfaction. From well-designed and built foundations to durable fire-resistant roofs, our homes feature the latest components and the most advanced building methods available. Throughout the construction process, we and our
TradePartnersSM conduct multi-point quality reviews to ensure that every detail meets our exacting standards. As a result, you can be assured of enjoying the lasting value and peace of mind that come from owning a home of superior quality.

Happier New Homes

We don’t just promise customer satisfaction, we deliver it, and we have the awards to prove it. We have been nationally recognized by J.D. Power and Associates, which has consistently ranked Shea Homes highest in customer satisfaction with home builders.

Beginning with your first visit, our friendly Community Representatives are focused on getting to know you and providing you with a comfortable home-buying experience. Then the professionals at our sister company, Shea Mortgage, will make sure you receive the most favorable financing options, and our conscientious Field Managers will work with you in an
interactive construction process to ensure that your home is built to our quality standards and yours. In addition, the experienced interior designers at our Shea Design Studio will help you create the home you imagined. The entire home-buying process at Shea Homes is designed
with one thing in mind: your happiness.

Healthier New Homes

We know that today, your quest for a healthy lifestyle is more important than ever. We also know that it doesn’t stop with eating right and exercising. There are many things we come in contact with in our everyday lives that can have an adverse effect on our health. That’s why we strive to incorporate the highest standards of product performance and safety into our homes. For example, we use low-VOC paints, pollutant-free carpet adhesives and state-of-the-art air conditioning systems to help keep the air you breathe at home as free of harmful agents as possible. Your health is as important to us as it is to you, as demonstrated by the many fine price-included features that we offer.

Safer New Homes

Home is the place where you’re supposed to feel safer than anywhere else, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure that you do. Our concern for your well being begins with the safety criteria we use in the development and building of our homes, and it continues with an array of safety features built into our homes. They include smoke detectors to warn you of fire, tempered glass that is less likely to harm you if it breaks, GFI electrical outlets that are designed to protect you from electrical shock and sloped porches and garage floors that provide proper drainage and reduce the chances of personal injury. These and many other safety components add up to one essential feature: your peace of mind.
