Lennar about-faces on its SOLARplus homes, cancelling all but one phase and then reinstating them a few days later.

Lennar has changed its mind yet again about its developments in West Creek Valencia, cancelling [Edit: and then later reinstating] all future builds of its SOLARplus homes in the area.

Lennar’s Patina homes in West Creek Valencia have been marketed as SOLARplus homes since late December, with all sorts of solar demos and gizmos put into place to hype this new technology. This would have been [Edit: will be] one of the first solar developments in Southern California. Lennar started building their solar homes in the San Francisco, Sacramento and Fresno areas in 2007.

Apparently Lennar has bucketloads of standing inventory in other areas, including Las Vegas and Arizona, so they’re cutting costs across the board to save their overall bottom line. Standing inventory in West Creek and West Hills in Valencia is very low (almost none), as compared to 100’s of homes in these other areas.

[Edit: Lennar apparently had some miscommunication between corporate and their local offices, and the SOLARplus package is being offered to all Patina phases after all.]
