Tesoro Viejo won an Award of Merit in three categories: Best Special Use Project for The Hub, Tesoro Viejo’s Welcome Center; Best Recreation Use Facility/Amenity for the Ranch House, the resort-style clubhouse/recreation center; and Masterplan Community of the Year.
“Gold Nugget Award winners reflect our industry’s best, brightest and most innovative architects, planners and builder/developers,” said Lisa Parrish, judging chairperson and Gold Nugget ceremonies administrator.
