CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Business Wire EON) April 10, 2008 --
Rhein Medall Communities,
North Carolina’s premier residential land
developer, won 12 awards at the 2008 Home Builder’s
Association of Charlotte MAME Awards on March 29 –

Charlotte, which is the center of the largest metropolitan region
between Washington, DC, and Atlanta, enjoys one of the United States’
most vibrant economies. The second largest banking center in the
country, Charlotte is characterized by continued population growth,
continued new job creation and low unemployment. The 13-county Charlotte
metro region has a population of over 2.4 million, and the third
healthiest housing market in the nation. Meanwhile, the solid real
estate market here has attracted many of the country’s
major home builders and developers.
The awards ceremony, which was held at the Westin Hotel in Uptown
Charlotte, honors the region’s best and
brightest builders, developers, sales teams, new communities and their
marketing initiatives. Rhein
Medall’s Developer of the Year award
reflects their work at The Palisades –
their nationally-acclaimed master-planned golf community above Lake
Wylie in southwest Charlotte -- as well as their work developing
several other of the region’s most successful
residential communities, including Dominion
at Highland Creek in Cabarrus County, Heydon Hall in Charlotte, MacAulay

Crossing in Concord.
Eleven of the awards won by Rhein Medall were for The
