Awards recognize excellence and innovation in addressing complex design and build issues





















(I-Newswire) July 29, 2010 - IRVINE, CALIF. MBK Homes announced today that its Greenbrier community in Yorba Linda, CA has been recognized with a Merit Award for GreenPoint Rated Community of the Year by the 2010 Gold Nugget Awards. Presented annually since 1963 at PCBC (Pacific Coast Builders Conference), the Gold Nugget Awards are co-sponsored by Builder magazine and recognize those who improve our communities through exceptional concepts in design, planning and development. The GreenPoint rating designates that a home features an eco-friendly design as determined by third-party review from Build It Green, a membership supported non-profit organization whose mission is to promote healthy, energy- and resource-efficient homes in California.

“At MBK Homes, we view green building as more than just a marketing slogan or logo,”
said Tim Kane, president of MBK Homes. “We believe we have a duty to act as responsible
builders and protect the land itself from which our livelihoods derive. The recognition by the
Gold Nugget Awards is an honor and an affirmation that eco-friendly development deserves
more than just lip service; it’s rapidly becoming a cornerstone of smart business and successful
new home sales.”

Located in the master-planned golf community of Vista Del Verde, Greenbrier offers
detached luxury homes in Spanish, Craftsman, Italian, Monterey & Traditional styles. These
unique two-story residences offer a number of eco-friendly features, including dual-glazed vinyl
windows with Low-E energy saving glass, thermostatically-controlled air conditioning with
night set-back, a Rinnai tankless water heater with Metlund hot water D'MAND system,
weatherproofing systems at exterior doors and windows, and compact fluorescent flush lighting.

The Gold Nugget Awards are a centerpiece of PCBC, known as "Homebuilding’s
Premier Tradeshow and Conference," recognizing builders, developers, architects, and land
planners with communities and projects in the 14 Western States and as well as internationally.
Gold Nugget honors not only housing designs, but also commercial, recreational and land
planning achievements. Thanks to its unique Advisory Committee, the Gold Nugget Awards
program responds thoughtfully to changing realities. Meeting at least once yearly, the Advisory
Committee includes a cross-section of industry professionals.

“Relevance keeps the Gold Nugget Awards at the forefront of design/planning
competitions, as our 2010 winners demonstrate,” said Judging Chairman Peter Mayer of Peter M.
Mayer Productions. “The Merits and Grand awards represent an amazing diversity of locales,
projects and design/planning firms, Gold Nugget winners share one common denominator:
excellence and innovation in addressing complex design/build issues.”
