Work on 77 single and two-story homes in Brighton’s northeast corner kicked off Oct. 25 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The New Home Company celebrated the beginning of the construction of new homes at Ridgeline Vista in one of Brighton’s fastest-growing communities.

Jeff McGovern, area president of the New Home Company, said New Home Company started in 2022 and is a smaller home-building company that is growing.

“I love that Brighton is a smaller city and growing, and it makes a lot of sense,” McGovern said. “The other thing we know about Brighton, with myself being in Colorado for as long as I have been here, is Brighton has a good sense of community, and people are close here, and they stick together.”

“It’s sort of how the New Home Company is. We’ve got a great group of people that want to deliver awesome homes to people. We picked Brighton because we just feel like it also matches our sense of community.”

These homes feature the Cottage Collection and are being pre-sold in the Ridgeline Vista. The sales office and show home is located at 513 Lost Lake St.

The development is northeast of Brighton’s downtown and due north of Prairie Center, giving it good proximity to local retailers and restaurants. The prices start in the high $400,000s for single-story and two-story homes with five-floor plans to choose from, ranging from 1,350 to 2,200 square feet. Finished homes will have between two and four bedrooms and a garage.

Each home will have natural light, community amenities, and an Insignia Design program to choose an interior scheme that fits your decor and vision. EVO Tech smart home technologies will be integrated into your new home. The homes also offer a backyard package option installed before the homeowner closes.

Brighton Mayor Greg Mills said it was a strong move to improve the real estate economy.

“It’s good to increase the housing inventory because low housing inventory leads to higher prices. And as you’re growing your housing inventory, you’re going help a better housing market and not be so high,” Mills said. “That’s why we should always support these kinds of projects. And these are good builders coming in; they’re not just low-quality builders.”

Brighton Chamber of Commerce CEO Stephanie Macklin – who also serves as Vice President of the Chamber board – said she supports a new housing development.

“They are beautiful homes in a great price range and are needed everywhere,” Macklin said.
