VERO BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- PrivateCommunities.com, an online showcase of master-planned communities, announced the addition of ten communities by the Del Webb Corporation (NYSE:WBB). The newest Del Webb contract represents the largest number of communities put on PrivateCommunities.com at one time by a single developer.
"As the number of Internet users researching their new homes and resort-type lifestyle increases, Del Webb continues to expand its online resources to spread the word," said Tom Lucas, vice president, eBusiness Group at Del Webb Corporation. "Websites such as PrivateCommunities offer a valuable and easy marketing opportunity for our company."
"The Sun City Grand Community, located in Surprise, Arizona, is a clear front runner for acquiring real estate leads from our site and also offers some of Del Webb's highest priced properties," said Marie Roberts, co-founder of PrivateCommunties.com. "However, consumer trends also reveal that Sunflower, a moderately priced community, located in Tucson, is another Del Webb favorite."
Currently, PrivateCommunities.com represents more than 250,000 acres of prime real estate that includes more than 2,700 holes of championship golf. Visit PrivateCommunities.com's Website at www.PrivateCommunities.com.
