(VIENNA, Va.) – Magnolia Green – central Virginia’s premier multi-generational, active-lifestyle residential community – has selected Buffalo Brand Invigoration Group (Buffalo) to direct public relations for its diverse residential real estate and popular golf course expanding to 18 holes this spring.
Buffalo will elevate awareness and sales of Magnolia Green offerings by placing feature stories in local, regional and national media. It will also assist in the re-branding and grand opening of Magnolia Green Golf Club (formerly Westham Golf Club), a Nicklaus Design in association with Tom Clark.
Located in Moseley, less than 30 minutes from Richmond, Magnolia Green is owned by iStar Residential, one of the United States’ largest investors in luxury condominium, multi-family and master-planned developments. To date, iStar has invested nearly $50 million in the community with a second residential phase and $10 million amenity package scheduled to break ground in 2015.
“Magnolia Green is already one of Richmond’s top-selling neighborhoods, and 2015 projects to be our strongest year yet,” says Tom Page, Vice President of iStar Residential. “Coming-soon amenities like an aquatics center, golf clubhouse, tennis facility and golf practice area will further distance Magnolia Green as the favored place to live and play.”
“Forward-thinking development is fundamental to iStar’s success,” says Rich Katz, Managing Director of Buffalo. “Magnolia Green’s proximity to Richmond’s revitalized economy and lively cultural scene, super-strong area schools, and easy access to mountains and beaches make the community perfect for families, empty nesters and young professionals.”
