McLean, VA - November 21, 2024 - Local Northern Virginia homebuilder Miller & Smith continues its award-winning legacy by taking home gold at this year’s Great American Living Awards (GALA). The ceremony, hosted by The Northern Virginia Building Industry Association (NVBIA), celebrated the building industry’s best and brightest at the McLean Hilton Tysons Corner. Miller & Smith won Gold for Best Interior Merchandising for a Multi-Family Model/Unit for their Aurora model at Birchwood at Brambleton, and also received a Merit Award for Best Merchandising for a Multi-Family Model/Unit for their Verona model at the same 55+ community.
The Great American Living Awards recognize excellence in architecture, building, development, sales, marketing, and interior design. For Miller & Smith, these recent wins are yet another testament to the company’s 60-year commitment to creating innovative homes and communities that exceed expectations.
“Receiving these awards is a proud moment for all of us at Miller & Smith,” said Erica Bell, Sr. Marketing Manager at Miller & Smith. “Our team puts so much dedication and care into every detail, and to see the Aurora and Verona models recognized on this stage is incredibly rewarding. Birchwood at Brambleton is such a special community, and these awards highlight the creativity and hard work behind making it a standout neighborhood for 55+ buyers.”
The Aurora model, honored with Gold, is part of Miller & Smith’s Courtyard Home collection, a homestyle previously recognized at GALA and now making a successful comeback at Birchwood at Brambleton. These homes have generated just as much interest as before, with only two remaining for sale — marking the last Courtyard Homes ever available from Miller & Smith at Birchwood. The Verona model, which earned a Merit award, continues to set the standard for excellence in multi-family living by offering thoughtful design elements that cater to comfort and sophistication.
In addition to the Courtyard Homes, Miller & Smith is currently offering elevator brownstones and elevator single-family homes for the 55+ niche buyer, further expanding the diverse range of options available at Birchwood at Brambleton.
This year’s GALA awards come at a significant moment as Miller & Smith celebrates its 60th year in business. Over the past six decades, the builder has established a legacy of crafting award-winning communities across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. From its earliest accolades in the 1960s to recent national honors like the Best in American Living Award at the International Builders’ Show in 2019, Miller & Smith has solidified its place as a leader in the homebuilding industry.
“The 60-year milestone is a time of reflection and celebration for us,” Bell added. “These GALA awards not only recognize the work we’re doing today but honor the legacy we’ve built over the decades. We are incredibly grateful for the recognition and excited for what the future holds.”
