The Lutgert Companies have won the 2020 Best in American Living™ Award (BALA) by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) for The Brooks, a collection of townhomes in Linville Ridge — the company’s private mountaintop community in North Carolina. The Brooks was honored with the Silver Award in the Multifamily category for a development of up to three stories built for sale.

The Lutgert Companies are previous BALA winners; in 2016, they were honored with the Platinum Award in the Mixed-Use Community category for Residences at Mercato, their luxury development in Naples, Florida. 

Comprised of eight residences ranging from 2,436 to 3,146 square feet, The Brooks is situated at an elevation of 4,600 feet and is nestled between the eighth green and ninth fairway of the Linville Ridge golf course. Built by Lutgert Construction and designed by Stofft Cooney Architects, the three-bedroom floor plans were inspired by the majestic mountain surroundings.

“We are very excited to have been honored with this award,” said Mike Hoyt, senior vice president of The Lutgert Companies. “The BALAs are the most prestigious awards in the industry, recognizing the very best in residential home design. We are very pleased to be recognized with an esteemed group of the most talented home building professionals in the nation,” said Mike Hoyt, Senior Vice President, The Lutgert Companies
