An Arizona-based homebuilder has launched two home collections north of Denver, selling over 600 homes to a master-planned community in Thornton.
Taylor Morrison recently debuted its Horizon and Westerly collections at the approximately 800-acre Parterre community that is under development.
“This will really be the first large project coming to Thornton, and probably the only one for the next two to three years of this size,” Ricarda Dietsch, the Denver division president for Taylor Morrison, said.
The Parterre community attracted the homebuilder because of its location near E-470, according to Dietsch, and includes good schools nearby.
“It’s going to be a wonderful community, supporting really homeowners of all ages and stages of life,” Dietsch said.
The company’s Parterre Horizon collection features three- to five-bedroom single-family homes with up to three and a half baths. The collection includes four floor plans that span 1,606 to 2,989 square feet, Taylor Morrison’s website states.
The available townhomes, part of the Parterre Westerly collection, include two to three bedrooms and four choices of floor plans. The two-story townhomes range from 1,248 to 1,611 square feet. They include two-car garages.
The collections are two of five Taylor Morrison plans to launch at Parterre. The Westerly collection includes 387 units, while the Horizon collection includes 238 homes.
The horizontal work is underway for the other three collections, which are anticipated to come online in the spring of 2026. In all, Taylor Morrison anticipates bringing 1,125 homes to the master-planned community.
Parterre will later include pocket parks, trails and a recreation center, according to Hines’s website, the developer of the overall community.
Sales launched on Saturday for Taylor Morrison’s two collections and generated strong interest prior to the opening.
“We started marketing this community about a year ago … and we have over 400 people on our interest list,” said Asa Moncada, Taylor Morrison’s vice president of sales for Denver. “It’s definitely a strong number for when we open that community.”
The price tag of the homes is one of the reasons Moncada and Dietsch believe the collections received such strong initial interest.
The single-family homes in the Horizon collection have a starting price of just under $520,000, while the townhomes in the Westerly collection start at under $434,000.
“This is a much more affordable location, yet your ability to commute to job corridors is pretty amazing,” Dietsch said of the Thornton area.
Taylor Morrison will host a bluegrass festival grand opening event on May 31 for its two collections at 14885 Arbor Blvd. West in Thornton.
