We build homes, but what we’re really in the business of is building community. This year’s Charleston Home Builders Association PRISM Awards were a good reminder that the work shows. New Leaf Builders went home with three wins, and we couldn’t be prouder of the team behind them.
Hayes Park was designed for people who want Johns Island’s pace of life without giving up easy access to downtown Charleston and area conveniences but just wanted to live differently! The judges recognized it as the best community of less than 100 homes on the island. Hayes Park is built around shared courtyards and gardens under century-old live oaks, with Lowcountry architecture and sustainable design. Shops, restaurants, and galleries are a short walk, and there is nothing like Hayes Park in the area! With only a few homes left, now’s the time to see why the judges took notice.

Our Aneto single-family home at 715 Blueway Avenue in Nexton also took home a PRISM. Nexton has no shortage of great builders, so this one means a lot. The Aneto is a popular craftsman-style floor plan with an open courtyard that opens to an out-villa for guests and/or an office! It is one of the most popular New Leaf Plans at Nexton now, with award-winning proof!

Then came the moment that got the biggest cheer. Stephanie Branscum, New Leaf's Leaf and Land Sales Agent, won the Rising Social Media Presence award, and she was shocked. We weren’t. Anyone who follows Stephanie has watched her bring the Leaf and Land Brand and vision to life online, one post at a time. Congratulations, Stephanie!

These awards belong to everyone at New Leaf who had a hand in them: our construction and sales teams, our trade partners, and most of all the homeowners who chose New Leaf Builders. Thank you for trusting us to build your home and your community.
