BRAGB presents Team Redbrook with another six Prism Awards

Wareham, MA The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB) presented Team Redbrook with another six Prism Awards at a recent virtual awards ceremony. The annual awards celebrate the best of the best in the region’s residential building industry.

The new village’s four Gold awards included top honors in the most coveted categories: Best Team of the Year and Best Ad Campaign. The team represents the A.D. Makepeace Company as developer, and its builder-partners: The Valle Group of Falmouth, Whitman Homes of Canton, and The Stabile Companies of Nashua, NH.

In addition, the team won Gold Awards for Best Interior Merchandising of a Model Under $650,000 for The Fern, and Best Attached Home Under 2,000 s/f for The Mayflower II.

Both homes are designed and built by The Stabile Companies.

Redbrook netted silver awards for Best Attached Home Under 1,800 s/f for The Emerald Townhome by Whitman Homes, and Best Universal Design for the Redbrook Apartments, a joint venture of the A.D. Makepeace Company and Campanelli of Braintree.

“We are particularly gratified that the selection committee recognized the work of our sales team. Home sales during a pandemic shutdown was an extraordinary challenge, and I was proud of our ability to pivot seamlessly to a remote model,” said Michael Hogan, president and CEO of Agawam Development Co., the A.D. Makepeace Company subsidiary responsible for Redbrook’s development. “Redbrook is exactly the product that homebuyers were seeking during the pandemic: a genuinely diverse community situated within a vast natural setting.”

Redbrook has won a total of 32 of the prestigious awards since the new village welcomed its first homeowners in 2015.

BRAGB, a trade association affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders and Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Massachusetts, has represented the industry since 1944. BRAGB has evolved into one of the leading trade associations in New England. With over 390 member companies, including single-family, multifamily builders, and commercial builders and remodeling contractors, BRAGB is one of New England’s most prominent and influential trade associations.

The A.D. Makepeace Company is developer of the award-winning Redbrook. The 165-year old company is the world’s largest cranberry grower, the largest private property owner in eastern Massachusetts, and a recognized leader in environmentally responsible real estate development and stewardship.
