Fareri’s Villa BXV named a National Community of the Year by NAHB; Built by Gateway Development

BRONXVILLE, NY Villa BXV has gained national recognition from the esteemed National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The new condominium building was named a National Community of the Year by the NAHB. Villa BXV also received awards for best model merchandising, best architectural design and best landscaping. Known as “The Nationals,” the awards are determined by a panel of industry professionals from across the country who judged a field of more than 1,300 entries. 

Villa BXV is developed by John Fareri, whose company Fareri Associates of Greenwich, CT has been building residential developments for more than four decades. The project was constructed by Gateway Development, a Fareri company.     

“We are truly honored to have received these national awards from the highly respected NAHB. The Nationals are the most prestigious awards of their kind, setting the benchmark for innovations in new home design and community development,” said Fareri. “These awards are a testament to the vision, hard work and dedication to quality and excellence by a very talented team of professionals.”

Fareri Associates is a real estate investment and development company well known for its 40 years creating residential homes as well as office and retail space. 

Currently, the company is developing several mixed-use projects in Greenwich including the Greenwich Office Park. Fareri Associates is also the developer of the Westchester BioScience & Technology Center, a nearly 3 million s/f, mixed-use complex to be built on 80 acres adjacent to New York Medical College and the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. 

Elise Platt, director of sales and marketing for Villa BXV, said Villa BXV exemplifies John Fareri’s commitment to delivering the finest quality design and construction with the highest degree of personal service. “There is no one in this market who is building with the level of architectural design and attention to detail as you will find at Villa BXV,” said Platt. “And the sales success of Villa BXV speaks for itself with only a few of the 53 residences remaining for sale.” 

Jim Carnicelli, president of Gateway Development said, “The award for best landscaping is particularly gratifying considering the challenges of creating a landscaped environment on the rooftop of the project’s parking garage through the use of planters on courtyards, plazas, patios and terraces.” 

The one, two and three-bedroom residences at Villa BXV feature open plan great rooms and kitchens with gourmet islands with appliances by Wolf, Bosch and Sub-Zero. Master bedroom suites have spa baths with glass enclosed wet rooms featuring free-standing tubs and separate showers. 

Villa BXV’s central lobby with a 24-hour doorman provides a sense of luxury and security. An elegant clubroom opens out to the Grand Courtyard which serves as the heart of Villa BXV’s lifestyle. A fitness center and an adjoining Zen courtyard complete the amenities. Indoor parking is provided with two spaces per residence.
