(BINGHAM FARMS, Mich. June 21, 2006) - Home construction has begun on Oakland County's new Riverside North, the next phase of the 350-acre Riverside Development located on Grange Hall Road, just west of historic downtown Holly.

The current phase of this mixed-use, master planned community will include 85 single-family homes sites built by SONRISE HOMES. The 1,500 to 2,200 square foot homes will start in the upper $100,000 to the low $200,000 price range and the entire 28-acre residential development will be worth more than $17 million. Bordering the Seven Lakes State Park to the west and the Holly Recreational Area to the east, Riverside North will offer residents affordable living in desirable Northwest Oakland County.

"This community is the result of years of research and meetings with community officials, residents and consultants who provided valuable input," said Steve Robinson, vice president of SILVERMAN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. "We are pleased in our selection of SONRISE HOMES to be the newest builder to join Riverside. They have a solid reputation for building quality neighborhoods and providing excellent customer loyalty to all homeowners."

Riverside features a variety of housing opportunities designed in harmony with the area's natural amenities. More than 125 acres, including woodlands, wetlands and open fields, have been preserved.

"We are excited about our newest community located in prestigious Holly Township," said Tony Hanson, president of SONRISE HOMES. "Holly has an excellent lifestyle reputation and Riverside North is perfect for residents looking for outdoor recreation, attractive schools, and a location in the heart of the Michigan Lakes Region."
