Case Study

The Meadows at Hugo


The Goal


Bring Cost-Effective Homes to the Market

Design a high-density community that meets the demands and needs of the area's homebuyers at price points buyers can afford.

The Challenge


Higher Building Costs = Higher Home Prices

Due to economic factors, area home prices had risen to a point that pushed homeownership out of reach for many buyers. Most of the properties in the area were large-lot single-family homes. This property allowed for more density and with that in mind, Centra developed a home design that was desirable, but less expensive than typical suburban homes.

The Solution


Small-Lot, Single-Family Homes

Centra worked directly with the land seller, Golden Valley Land, to design a community of small-lot, slab-on-grade, single-family homes. The floor plans featured single-level, multi-level and two-story home designs with the square footage ranging in size from 1,903 - 2,335 square feet.

The Achievement


+80% of Homes Sold Before Construction was Complete

Demand for detached single-family homes was high in the area and as we began to sell, 39 of the homes were sold before construction was complete.

Hugo residents value our open spaces as well as our rural character and strive to be good stewards of the natural resources.
