Century Communities launches Creekbend in Winston‑Salem; raises quarterly dividend to $0.32

Creekbend debuts as Century Communities expands in Winston‑Salem

Century Communities opens Creekbend, a new single‑family home community about five miles from downtown Winston‑Salem, expanding its footprint in North Carolina. The builder releases a limited number of two‑story, open‑concept homes priced from the $280s, each offering up to 2,014 square feet, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two‑car garages. The community sits on Waterworks Road with access to regional employment centers in Greensboro and High Point and local recreational assets including Winston Lake, Salem Lake and the William G. White Jr. Family YMCA.

Homes at Creekbend feature contemporary finishes that Century says align with its Century Complete offerings, including LG stainless‑steel appliances, quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Century promotes an integrated online buying experience that lets buyers preview design selections, personalize finishes and complete much of the transaction remotely while on‑site sales staff provide tours, financing guidance and move‑in timelines. The company highlights the combination of digital tools and in-person support as a competitive advantage in markets where inventory at entry price points is constrained.

Century frames the Creekbend release as an affordable opportunity in a desirable location, noting limited homesites and urging prospective buyers to act as availability changes during staged releases. The company provides a local sales studio and an online community page for scheduling tours and checking availability, underscoring its national emphasis on online home sales and streamlined customer access to purchase information and design choices.

Century’s regional and operational context

Century Communities operates through its Century Communities and Century Complete brands across 16 states and more than 45 markets, coupling homebuilding with ancillary services including mortgage, title, insurance and escrow through subsidiaries. The company positions its integrated model — from land acquisition and development through construction, marketing and sales — as supporting both affordability and consistent product standards across new communities like Creekbend.

Board decision on shareholder payouts and reinvestment

Separately, Century’s board declares a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per share, a 10% increase from the prior level, which company officials describe as reflecting confidence in cash flow and long‑term prospects. Management frames the dividend increase as part of a broader capital allocation strategy that balances shareholder returns with reinvestment in land, community development and digital sales innovation.
