Nexton Wins Gold at The Nationals 2026
SUMMERVILLE, S.C. – February 18, 2026 – Nexton, South Carolina’s most innovative and walkable community, earned two awards at The Nationals 2026, presented by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): Master Planned Community of the Year and Best Email Marketing Campaign.
Hosted annually since 1982, The Nationals celebrate excellence in new-home sales, marketing, community design, and innovation across the country. Gold is the program’s highest honor, awarded to top performers selected by an expert panel of industry leaders after rigorous judging.
“This recognition isn’t just about marketing or design — it’s about the people who choose to build their lives here,” said Cassie Cataline, Director of Marketing at Brookfield Residential. “If our work helps someone feel more connected to their neighbors or more at home in Nexton, then we’ve done our job.”
Silver Award, Master Planned Community of the Year: Honoring Nexton’s holistic approach to planning and development, from walkable neighborhoods and vibrant parks to a growing mix of retail, dining, healthcare, and workplaces. Designed to evolve with market demand, Nexton blends residential, commercial, and lifestyle amenities to support long-term livability and a strong sense of belonging.
Gold Award, Email Marketing: Clear, consistent communication is a core part of how Nexton supports its growing community. Through timely, relevant newsletter updates about events, new openings, and everyday neighborhood news, its emails serve as a reliable source of information for residents, employees, and neighbors — helping people stay informed, engaged, and connected to daily life at Nexton.
“The Nationals’ award winners set the standard for excellence in new home sales, marketing and design,” said Christy Beck, chairperson of The Nationals. “These prestigious awards have represented NAHB’s dedication to recognizing innovation, creativity and success for more than 40 years.”
As Nexton continues to grow, its focus remains on intentional planning that enhances daily life and fosters connection. By combining inspired design with real-world convenience, Nexton is building not just homes, but a thriving, enduring community.
