Tri Pointe launches age-qualified community brand
Tri Pointe Homes has announced the launch of Altis, the official lifestyle brand for all of the company’s 55-plus age-qualified communities nationwide.
With three communities already open in California, the Altis active-adult brand allows Tri Pointe to achieve premium brand recognition across different kinds of new home developments.
“Altis allows Tri Pointe Homes to serve this dynamic 55-plus generation that’s living longer with more vitality and wider-ranging passions — a distinct difference from traditional active-adult offerings of the past,” said Doug Bauer, CEO of Tri Pointe Homes. “These homebuyers have the time and resources to imagine, pursue and design their best possible life. As a big force in the homebuying market today, the 55-plus demographic is looking for a whole new lifestyle that’s fresh, energetic and filled with adventure. Tri Pointe Homes meets them there with the Altis brand.”
The Altis brand was created with connection in mind, from the personalized comfort of home to the strong communal ties that its premium active-adult communities foster. Altis is curated around premium lifestyle offerings, vibrant locations and expressive innovative home and amenity designs carefully optimized for 55-plus living.
Altis Beaumont, located in Southern California’s Inland Empire, kicked things off in late 2018 with new-century, modern-inspired single-level homes and resort-style amenities including the 16,000-square-foot VuePoint residents’ club; 4,300-square-foot pool complex; outdoor lounge and barbecue areas; pickleball courts; an extensive, connected and experiential trail system; and a full-time lifestyle director.
With multiple neighborhoods and product offerings from the $300,000s, this self-developed, planned community designed by Tri Pointe Homes will have 704 homes upon completion. The active, vibrant and award-winning community continues to grow with over 330 homes sold and approximately 250 homeowners already moved in.
Located in Temescal Valley, California, the Altis at Terramor neighborhood consists of 75 homes from the high $500,000s within the well-established Terramor planned community, where Tri Pointe is a guest builder.
The Terrace Club boasts a 6-acre recreational area with tennis, bocce and pickleball courts; a resort-style pool; and a 20,000-square-foot clubhouse with indoor pool, extensive fitness center, multipurpose rooms. Since Tri Pointe’s opening of the interest list and priority group in April, demand has been strong with over 40 homes already sold.
The newest Altis community is Altis at Skyline, which consists of 292 single-story homesites from the low $700,000s within Tri Pointe’s Santa Clarita Valley all-age planned community of Skyline.
Located less than 40 miles north of Los Angeles, Skyline includes miles of hiking trails, acres of natural open space and a host of indoor and outdoor lifestyle amenities including a center exclusively for 55-plus neighborhood residents. The first release of Altis at Skyline homesites and the opening of the model homes took place in early November.
“The brand is built with five pillars in mind — vitality, adventure, style, connection and ease — delivering on this generation’s desires and our mission to make a premium lifestyle possible for our customers,” Bauer said. “The growth of the Altis brand continues to give Tri Pointe Homes an opportunity in an important market segment that will be life-changing for a large demographic of 55-plus customers.”
