Boulevard of Santa Clara & Mondrian of Mountain View reflect the Design & Craftsmanship that has won over legions of Southbay Homeowners

Silicon Valley, CA - On February 7th, Shea Homes celebrates its return to Silicon Valley by kicking off sales of its two latest communities: Boulevard in Mountain View and Mondrian in Santa Clara. Shea has a storied reputation in the Southbay for design and craftsmanship. Shea previously scored very high marks with area homeowners when The Glen at Rivermark debuted as part of the overall Rivermark new urban village in Santa Clara. People turn to Shea Homes because they know they’re buying a great home that’s solid, with no problems. And that reputation for excellence has been acknowledged by the homebuilding industry too – in 2007, Professional Builder Magazine named Shea Homes “Builder of the Year”.

Both Boulevard in Mountain View and Mondrian in Santa Clara communities offer a rare opportunity to own a home in the center of the world’s technology capital. These communities opened for preview viewings mid-November 2008 and started construction of their newest properties later that month. Act now. Don’t wait. With mortgage interest rates still at or near all-time lows, the dream of a new Silicon Valley home is now available for qualified homebuyers. Shea expects that the first sales at Boulevard and Mondrian will begin closing in Summer 2009.

Shea Homes has been building homes for over 120 years because buyers respond to intelligent, high quality construction built in desirable locations. For Shea, it’s as much about design and craftsmanship as it is about building homes that fit the lifestyle needs of today’s families, situating new home communities like Boulevard and Mondrian so that homebuyers can enjoy the benefit of living in Mountain View and Santa Clara.

Boulevard features 2 and 3 bedroom, 3 story condominiums with Mediterranean-style architecture. Flexible living spaces, generous porches and decks, and beautiful color palettes accentuate the style of these homes. The beauty and texture of these homes is enhanced by a full array of features including porcelain tiles, slab granite, stainless steel appliances and contemporary beech cabinetry. The community has its own central park, and is located right off of the Alameda.

Mondrian features 2 and 3 bedroom, 3 story condominiums with Mediterranean-style architecture. The community comes complete with a swimming pool, clubhouse and grassy parks. Shea has created new web sites – and telephone contacts – for both communities; BoulevardByShea.com and MondrianByShea.com give visitors a vision of life at Boulevard and Mondrian, while allowing buyers to sign up for news, information and updates.

Silicon Valley’s employment hubs are close to both Boulevard and Mondrian. Headquarters for National Semiconductor, Intel, Yahoo, Sun Microsystems, Omnivision, Applied Materials, and Symantec are right there. Public transportation is easy to find, and the local metropolitan area is filled with world-class restaurants, stores, boutiques and entertainment opportunities including HP Pavilion and Shoreline Amphitheater. San Francisco is a quick CalTrain trip away.

Shea Homes has been recognized for its extraordinary workmanship and design, and a passion for excellence that enhances the lives of families in communities across the country. Honored as Professional Builder Magazine’s “Builder of the Year” in 2007, Shea Homes embodies a quality that sets it apart from other builders – Caring.
