El Segundo, CA.-Olson Homes, the leading developer of in-town urban living, is making an impression in the cities of El Segundo and Westchester literally by branding the sand at local beaches this Memorial Day Weekend with messages meant to be shared on Facebook and social media channels. The sand messages are meant to build awareness for Pacific Walk and Gateway Walk new home communities in the South Bay.
Taking advantage of Social Media is nothing new for Olson Homes. An early adopter in the housing industry since the beginning of Twitter and Facebook, Olson Homes has built a loyal online audience of followers. This Memorial Day Weekend Olson is launching their “Share & Win! Facebook Photo Contest” where beach goers are encouraged to comb the beaches, find the messages, take a photo with the stamped message and upload it to enter. After voting, one winner will walk away with a 55” Insignia LCD-HDTV. The contest is designed to encourage sharing. The more shares and votes a photo gets, the greater the chance of winning. Rules and how to enter the contest are available on Olson Home’s Facebook page by visiting Facebook.com/OlsonHomes.
While the contest is a fun Memorial Day distraction, homebuyers will enjoy coastal living with a small town feel at Pacific Walk™. Hop on a bike and ride the short distance to the beach for swimming, surfing and volleyball. Or head the other way into charming downtown El Segundo, with shops, restaurants, great schools and a wonderful small town atmosphere. Pacific Walk offers the best of both worlds that is ideal for an active lifestyle.
Pacific Walk’s Sales Center and model home is open Memorial Day Weekend for model tours and info. Sales Center hours are daily from 11am – 7pm and weekends from 10am to 6pm.
At completion, Pacific Walk will consist of 12 attached townhomes, ranging in size from 1,640 to 1,661 sq. ft., with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2 car side-by-side or tandem garages. Expected to be completed in 2012, Pacific Walk will offer desirable commutes to the nearby employment centers in the South Bay – including Los Angeles, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, and Marina Del Rey, as well as close proximity to the nearby beaches, and many retail, dining and entertainment options.
“The Pacific Walk community represents the best of in-town living,” said Scott Laurie, President and COO of The Olson Company. “Located close to the beach, as well as El Segundo’s charming village filled with shops and cafés, Pacific Walk caters to those with an active, dynamic California lifestyle.”
The homes, built to exceed LEED green living standards, feature energy efficient amenities including Energy Star appliances; water efficient and lead-free faucets; highly water efficient toilets; auto shut-off motion sensors in all baths, space saving tank-less water heaters, and built-in recycle bins, among many other features.

La Palma, CA.– April 19, 2012 – Olson Homes, the leading developer of in-town urban living, announces the official ground breaking event of Tapestry Walk the first new home residential community since 1996. City officials will be present for the groundbreaking dedication including Mayor, G. Henry Charoen, La Palma Council Members, city department heads and staff.
The City of La Palma acquired the property in December 2010 and The Olson Company was awarded the project through an RFP process in March 2011. The Tapestry Walk community will consist of 12 townhomes with three of the homes set to be sold to low income buyers and another three of the new homes to moderate income buyers. The remaining homes are to be sold at market rate expected to be priced from the low $400,000s.
Tapestry Walk is located adjacent to Montecito Villas on La Palma Avenue. Tapestry Walk will be the first new homes built in the City of La Palma since the Montecito Villas were developed by The Olson Company in 1995-1996. La Palma’s central location, retail, services and proximity to employment, easy freeway access, good schools and recreation, will attract local buyers as well as buyers from both Orange and Los Angeles Counties. The shortage of new homes, limited supply of resale homes in the area as well as competitive price points will make Tapestry Walk a good value to potential buyers who currently rent and are desire a move up home or location.
La Palma was named the 16th Best Small City in the country by Money Magazine in 2007 because of the quiet and friendly environment, great schools, nice homes, and well maintained streets and public areas. Accordingly to Money Magazine in 2011, La Palma was one of only three California Cities to make the top 100 list. The top 10 employers in La Palma include Kellogg’s, ADP, and Honeywell that together employ over 2,600 people in a town that is only 1.8 square miles in size.
Tapestry Walk will consist of three different floor plan types ranging in size from 1,346 to 1,819 square feet and offer up to four bedrooms and two and up to three bathrooms.
