PR Newswire (US)
RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Fleetwood
Homes division of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:FLE), an
industry leader in factory-built housing for more than five
decades, announced today that its modular housing division,
Trendsetter Homes, has been selected for a new 160-unit housing
development on the Gulf Coast. Consisting of a mix of single and
two-story buildings with four different elevations, the Alabama
condominium development will offer floor plans ranging in size from
1,140 square feet to 2,030 square feet. The units will be built in
the new Trendsetter Homes modular facility in Douglas, Georgia. The
developer will begin showing model units to potential buyers by
late summer. The three Trendsetter projects Fleetwood has announced
over the past two weeks -- Ft. Bliss barracks, Alabama workforce
housing, and these condominiums -- are expected to result in total
revenues of approximately $30 million. "These homes will be
constructed in a factory-controlled environment according to the
same local building codes which govern site-built homes," said John
H. Riddle, Vice President of Trendsetter Homes. "We are working
with an architectural firm with offices throughout the Gulf Region
that has provided design assistance on our residential projects to
ensure that they are compatible with local standards." Riddle said
that Trendsetter's relationships with local architects, builders,
and developers represent an extraordinary advantage for its
construction work in the Gulf Coast region. He added that
Trendsetter was established with the objective of being flexible in
its construction designs and working with firms that had expertise
in complementary areas to create buildings that are uniquely suited
to specific projects. "In addition to the advantages modular homes
provide in speed to completion, Trendsetter's homes offer a high
level of durability because they have been engineered to meet the
high wind ratings required in the Gulf Region," said Riddle. "They
are also more environmentally friendly due to minimal construction
site impact and recycling of waste. Accordingly, noise pollution
and traffic caused by deliveries and subcontractors are greatly
reduced." For more information about Trendsetter Homes, please
