Windsong Ranch Named “People’s Choice Community of the Year” at Prestigious McSAM Awards

Windsong Ranch, the premier master-planned community nestled in the heart of Prosper, Texas, has once again garnered significant industry recognition, triumphing as the “People’s Choice Community of the Year” at the 37th annual McSAM Awards. Hosted by the esteemed Dallas Builders Association, this coveted accolade underscores Windsong Ranch’s unwavering commitment to resident satisfaction and its exemplary status within the competitive Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market. The event, celebrating “maximum creativity in sales and marketing,” saw more than 300 entries vying for top honors across 58 categories, judged by a panel of national experts.

The Pinnacle of Resident Satisfaction: The People’s Choice Award

Among the myriad awards presented at the McSAM gala, the “People’s Choice Community of the Year” stands out as a true testament to excellence, directly reflecting the voices of those who matter most: the homeowners. Unlike awards based solely on design or marketing campaigns, this category is determined by comprehensive customer satisfaction surveys conducted by an independent third-party research firm. Residents of each entered community are meticulously polled, rating their living experience across a diverse range of categories, including amenities, lifestyle programming, community management, and overall satisfaction.

Craig Martin, Founding Partner of Terra Verde Group, the visionary developer behind Windsong Ranch, articulated the profound significance of this win. “The People’s Choice Award is THE coveted award of the night because it is a customer satisfaction award that truly demonstrates our success in crafting the ultimate community experience for our homeowners,” Martin stated. “Our residents consistently ranked Windsong Ranch highest in overall lifestyle, access to exceptional amenities, and unparalleled customer service when compared against all other communities in the DFW metroplex. This feedback is invaluable and confirms that our dedication to creating a vibrant, fulfilling environment resonates deeply with those who call Windsong Ranch home.”

A Legacy of Excellence: Windsong Ranch’s Award-Winning Streak

This latest triumph is not an isolated incident but rather another distinguished feather in Windsong Ranch’s already crowded cap. In a remarkably short span of just two years, the community has amassed an impressive portfolio of over 20 local, state, and national awards. These accolades span a broad spectrum, recognizing outstanding achievements in master planning, architectural design, innovative amenities, lifestyle programming, and community branding. From the warm reception of its welcome center, specifically honored by the National Association of Home Builders, to its meticulously designed landscapes, Windsong Ranch consistently sets new benchmarks for quality and innovation.

The success of Windsong Ranch is a collaborative masterpiece, a testament to the expertise of its world-class partners. Good, Fulton and Farrell Architects brought their visionary architectural designs to life, creating distinctive homes and community structures. TBG, serving as both master planners and landscape architects, meticulously sculpted the sprawling 2,030-acre property into a harmonious blend of natural beauty and functional living spaces. Creative License International infused the welcome center and interior designs with warmth and sophistication, while Anderson Hanson Blanton, the advertising agency, skillfully communicated the unique appeal of Windsong Ranch to a discerning audience. This synergy of talent ensures every facet of the community embodies excellence.

Martin further elaborated on the driving force behind the community’s success: “Residents genuinely adore this community, largely due to the outstanding lifestyle programming expertly implemented by Lauren Stephan, our dedicated lifestyle director. Her innovative approach has fostered a wonderfully close-knit, happy community, where neighbors connect and thrive. These consistent industry awards only serve to reemphasize what an incredible development we have meticulously built. Windsong Ranch has truly exceeded all our expectations in every conceivable way, proving that a focus on resident experience yields unparalleled results.”
