Cornerstone Communities, based in Villanova, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1996 by David Della Porta. The company is the leading developer of luxury
multi-family communities in the Philadelphia suburbs, most notably Terrazza at Newtown Square, Cornerstone Terrace in Exton, Cornerstone Villas in Glen Mills, Cornerstone Gateway in West Chester and Cornerstone Rise in Glenmore. Cornerstone has developed over five hundred homes at more than twenty single family and townhome communities in the region. Cornerstone Communities is noted for leadership in “Smart Growth” and “Green Design".
Whether developing a neighborhood of single-family homes, luxury
condominiums or rental apartments, the company’s comprehensive involvement, from land development through construction, allows for a more positive impact on the communities it creates. Company policy abides by a strict philosophy of land development that is conservation oriented and environmentally sensitive, seeking always to preserve open spaces and historic features.
For ten years, prior to forming Cornerstone Communities, David Della Porta
was a principal at Realen Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the
Philadelphia region, where he managed the development of more than 3,000
homes. While at Realen Homes, Mr. Della Porta was involved in the creation
of several distinguished communities including: The Hermitage in Gladwyne,
Waynesborough Woods in Easttown, The Ridings of Whitpain, Talamore Country Club in Horsham and Farmview in Yardley.
Mr. Della Porta is the past president of the Main Line Builders
Association and a full council member of the Urban Land Institute, the
nation’s leading Real Estate organization. Cornerstone Communities has won numerous industry awards including recent Community of the Year awards for Cornerstone Villas and Cornerstone Terrace and 2006 Builder of the Year honors from the Main Line Builders Association. |
