Builder Davidson Returns to Del Sur, Takes Over The Sentinels

Posted on September 17, 2010

Davidson Communities — the builder who brought Kensington to Del Sur — now is taking over at The Sentinels. A grand re-opening of the distinctive new-home Del Sur neighborhood is planned for February.

“The Sentinels neighborhood is architecturally remarkable, a perfect complement to the Del Sur community and a prime palette for builder Davidson Communities,” said Bill Ostrem, president and CEO of Black Mountain Ranch LLC, developer of Del Sur. Davidson Communities, as part of a joint venture with Mountain Real Estate Capital (MREC), purchased 17 Sentinels home sites and four Sentinels model homes built by Laing Luxury, in collaboration with Baywood Development.

Located along Tuscan-like hilltops within coastal-close Del Sur, the distinctive and luxurious two-and three-story homes at the Sentinels by Davidson are expected to be available for pre-sale by the end of the year, with prices planned from the $800,000s. The model homes also will be available for sale soon. Construction for the first phase is expected to start before the year ends, with the first homes available for spring move-in.

For more information about the Sentinels by Davidson, visit the Del Sur Ranch House, 15455 Paseo Del Sur, or call 858-481-4200. The Ranch House, San Diego’s first LEED Platinum building, is open from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Sunday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Model hours vary by location.

The Sentinels residences are designed by Scheurer Architects and have three to four bedrooms, 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms and from 2,772 to 3,433 square feet. The home sites range from 6,988 to 8,234 square feet.

Built in clusters of eight homes on the perimeter of an interior plaza, the Sentinels by Davidson at Del Sur are elevated to capture breezes and views found within the microclimate of the San Dieguito River Valley. Designed to reflect rustic European villages, the Sentinels floor plans feature private interior courtyards and inviting rear patios that set the scene for elegant indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.

“The architecture at The Sentinels has proven to be very successful, ever since the first cluster was built at Santaluz nearly a decade ago,” said Bill Davidson, president of Davidson Communities. “Going forward we are honored to reposition interior cabinetry and fixtures to match today’s tastes and best represent overall these authentically Italian-styled residences.”

Homes at the Sentinels by Davidson at Del Sur are within walking distance of neighborhood parks with pools, playgrounds, picnic areas and barbecues. Located within the Poway Unified School District, Del Sur is also convenient to two new schools, Del Sur Elementary and Del Norte High.

Del Sur is located in the coastal hills of North County, just a few miles from the coast. The Sentinels by Davidson will be among several new-home neighborhoods selling. Others include: Bridgewalk by Standard Pacific Homes, Madeira and Mandolin by Shea Homes, and Pasado by William Lyon Homes.
