I love Verdae, Hollingsworth Park, and all the potential that there is for this area. In no way is my comment to be interpreted as dredging up the old TND, Rick Summerall/Verdae sucks discussions. You can leave that stuff at home because I am not here to debate it.
I am wondering if anyone else is curious or possibly has knowledge of whether or not Verdae Development is regretting its decision to get into bed with Ryan Homes after seeing the success of Braydon? I know of several people that did not get into Braydon quick enough that love HP, but don't want to go with Ryan Homes. If I had to guess, I would say if Verdae were opening 120+ new lots for custom homes, they would have more than 6 contracts and 5 reservations after a month of public marketing. I may be wrong, but it is a curious thought. If anything I wonder if they could/would ever consider pulling back some of the lots they designated for Ryan Homes and give a portion to one of the lower cost custom home builders like LS or even a middle range company like Quinn Satterfield (as opposed to the higher end builders like Peery or Dillard Jones) - if they still wanted to try to keep that section be a lower price point.
Again, don't get me wrong, I have no issues with what Ryan Homes has to offer and adding additional residential price points in the neighborhood. I fully understand why they did what they did given the market leading up to that point in time.
