Patriots Point

will be a swim/tennis community with approximately five acres of green

space, streetlights, and sidewalks. The developer said four trees will

be planted in every yard, which will be sodded, and all residences will

have car garages.

Phase I of

the community will consist entirely of single family homes with a minimum

of three bedrooms. One-third of the homes will contain 1,600 sq. ft.,

one-third will have 1,500 sq. ft., and one-third will have 1,400 sq. ft.

At least half of these homes will have masonry accents on the front, and

half will have front porches.

The ranch condominiums,

which will be introduced in Phase II, will consist of 1,300 and 1,400

sq. ft. homes, and both two and three bedroom plans will be available.

Construction is expected on the first spec homes by February.

Walden Custom

Homes is owned by Craig Walden, who entered the building field as a carpenter

while in high school, then started working for a small volume home builder.

Temporarily leaving the building industry in the late 1980s, he came back

into home building in 1991 as a project manager with an established builder.

His own company, Walden Custom Homes, was founded in 1995 and is headquartered

in McDonough.

Walden Custom

Homes is also building in Arlington Place and Northridge Station, two

Clayton County communities, and has plans to build in Huntcliff in Henry

County.

In addition

to his career as a builder, Walden is also a licensed minister and is

a deacon at his church. His company actively supports the Henry County

School System through various sponsorships.

John Christian

has been in home building since 1985 when he produced his first two homes,

a duplex and a house. The second year, he built six homes, and he increased

this to 12 homes the third year and 15 the fourth. The growth trend has

continued, and John Christian Homes will build 100 homes in the next 12

months, and his company has earned the coveted Professional Home Builder

Designation.

Past president

of the Tri-County Home Builders Association, Christian has experienced

success in a large number of Metro South communities, include Walden,

Spivey Cove, Lakehaven, Vineyards at Eagle1s Landing, and The Legends.

In addition to Patriots Point, John Christian Homes is active in Melrose
