The Breeden Company, Virginia's premier, award-winning multifamily and residential developer, recognized a change in the market in 2011.  Breeden launched a new luxury rental brand called Enriched Lifestyle Community™ to address the needs and demands for infrastructure and lifestyle programming, specifically desired by the Generation Y residential rental market.

Cambria at Cornerstone is the first community of its kind by The Breeden Company, a 45 year old real estate development firm headquartered in VA Beach, VA. Cambria has established itself as a new way of living with the addition of lifestyle programming designed to engage every resident in multiple ways regardless of demographics. Pushing the innovation envelope, The Breeden Company developed outdoor gathering spaces in a resort-like style with unique activities to take advantage of every square foot of common space within Cambria.

A yearly timeline of a variety of events (family, fitness, sports and health conscious venues) incorporate dynamic marketing strategies utilizing top social media platforms to encourage residents and prospective resident participation. 

A panel of multifamily development and design experts selected winners in 27 other categories for excellence in building and marketing. The NAHB's Pillars of the Industry Awards program recognized the best in multifamily design and honors the industry's most creative and effective marketing campaigns, as well as its top developers.

"To be the first in the entire country to receive this award confirms we made the right decision to launch the Enriched Lifestyle Community™ brand. Cambria at Cornerstone is the first of many, new Enriched Lifestyle Community™ projects we have in development throughout the Mid-Atlantic States. The Breeden Company is now one of the largest apartment developers in the Southeast Region with a portfolio of over 8,500 units," said CEO and Founder Ramon W. Breeden, Jr. "We are very honored that Cambria was chosen for this prestigious national award."

The receipt of this coveted award was publicly announced on the infamous Reuters Board in Times Square.
