As a born and bred Long Islander, I continue to enjoy living and working here but also building a better Long Island,” said Michael Dubb, founder and chief executive officer, The Beechwood Org.

The Real Estate & Development Awards by LIBN, the region’s premier business publication dedicated to commerce, recognize significant contributions by commercial and residential real estate professionals to Long Island.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPER OF THE YEAR

The first of two LIBN awards in 2017 is Residential Developer of the Year and for the fourth consecutive year.

Beechwood was noted as having reached new milestones during final phases of key projects in 2016, including projects being sold out or at a 90 percent capacity.

LIBN also acknowledged the focus of Beechwood’s projects on its core commitment to thoughtful land planning and design; repurposing underutilized land; building in harmony with nature; creating a benefit for the local community; and generating new jobs.

Noted too was Michael Dubb’s vision to enhance quality of life while keeping more Long Islanders on Long Island; and to meet demand for new homes at the heart of every Beechwood project.

Over the past year, Beechwood’s achievements include selling and constructing more new, innovative, energy efficient and architecturally distinct homes for Long Island homebuyers than any other residential builder.

In 2016, one of Beechwood’s most productive years, final phases of key projects were sold with new projects launched. These include the 90% sell-out of 280 single-family homes at Meadowbrook Pointe Links & Spa in Medford; the launch and near sell-out of 76 townhomes and villas at Country Pointe Huntington; the launch and 40% sell-out of 94 single-family ranch homes at Country Pointe Estates Ridge; the launch and 20% pre-construction sales of Marina Pointe East Rockaway; the ground breaking and strong pre-sales of the largest new residential development in Nassau County, Country Pointe Plainview; and the ground breaking of The Vanderbilt, Long Island’s first combined luxury apartment rental and hotel.

Since 1985, Beechwood has built more than 7,000 homes across 60 communities from the Rockaways to the Hamptons. Michael Dubb is renowned for his innovative and forward thinking in “not just selling a home, but a lifestyle” with signature quality construction and design for the way sophisticated buyers want to live and entertain today.
