GlobeSt.com: What is the appeal of tri-level living for residents, and why does it make sense for developers?

Ostrem: Sur 33 strikes the perfect balance between modern sophistication and the warm and welcoming amenities of a premier master-planned community. The home designs offer the ability to provide homebuyers with the size and room needs they are looking for but with the ability to efficiently stack the square footage, which offers the ability for more homes to be built on the site but without requiring them to be attached. The designs at Sur 33 also offer the ability for private-use and low-maintenance front courtyards or rear-yard designs. Sur 33 floor plans can be further personalized with options including fireplaces, panoramic-style doors, first-floor media rooms and wine storage and a first-floor kitchenette configuration that makes these homes ideal for multi-generational living. Homebuyers can also select from private use courtyard or backyard home sites, and California Contemporary, Urban Eclectic or Modern Bungalow exterior styles. The tri level also offers additional view orientations that otherwise would not be able to be captured for the homeowner.

SAN DIEGO—The tri-level living home designs of CalAtlantic Homes' new Sur 33 collection in the Del Sur master-planned community offer the ability to provide homebuyers with the size rooms they are seeking and the ability to efficiently stack the square footage without requiring the homes to be attached, the firm's San Diego president Bill Ostrem tells GlobeSt.com. The home developer recently announced the grand opening of Sur 33, a collection of six tri-level floor plans offering a host of single-family contemporary-living options. We spoke with Ostrem about the development and how tri-level living fits into today's housing needs.

Ostrem: Sur 33 offers the newest home designs intended for today's casual yet elegant lifestyle. These all-tri-level, single-family floor plans feature an open, contemporary design showcasing high-ceiling foyers, a sought-after first-floor bedroom-and-bathroom configuration and second floors that flow easily from generous great rooms and center-island kitchens to second-floor balconies—dramatically extending living spaces for relaxing, family gatherings and entertaining. Each home includes a generous third-floor owner's suite with a spa-inspired bath, a third-floor laundry and a two-car garage. Modern architecture is complemented by the latest energy efficiency aspects including LED lighting and optional solar. The home designs offer pen floorplans that flow easily from room to room for family living and entertaining, while at the same time is low maintenance for the busy lifestyle everyone is leading these days.
