It was just another day for most folks, but Saturday, November 13, 2010 was a very special day for many builders and developers across Atlanta, including Touchstone Homes. The 2010 OBIE Gala brought many people together for one goal – to celebrate their successes of 2010. The past couple of years in the home building industry have been touch and go, but November 13th made the all difficulties and hardships worthwhile, at least for one night.
Touchstone Homes was awarded OBIE awards for two of our newest floorplans at Village Grove and Riverdance townhomes both located in Suwanee, Georgia.
