DENVER, Aug 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MSO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today celebrated the one year anniversary of their KB Home Stapleton: Homes Created with Martha Stewart community by hosting a birthday celebration with special guests, Martha Stewart and Jeffrey Mezger, president and CEO of KB Home. Located in Stapleton, the community opened last year and is the only KB Home Martha Stewart community in Colorado.

Approximately 100 contest winners, along with media and numerous local officials, attended the birthday party held at the community this afternoon. Attendees enjoyed a luncheon and had the opportunity to participate in a cupcake-decorating contest judged by Martha Stewart. Stewart selected the winner of the contest and presented the top three with gift baskets courtesy of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and KB Home.

"The one year anniversary of our Martha Stewart community at Stapleton is a significant milestone," said Jeffrey Mezger, president and CEO of KB Home. "Innovative collaborations like our partnership with Martha Stewart continue to draw buyers to our communities and truly set our company apart in the marketplace by offering choices buyers can find only at KB Home."

According to MetroStudies, the year to date sales at the KB Home Martha Stewart Stapleton community are 38 percent higher than the other 11 builders in the Stapleton master plan.

At KB Home Stapleton: Homes Created with Martha Stewart, homebuyers have their choice of five floor plans ranging in size from 1,593 to 2,084 square feet, all with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2-car garages. The exterior of the homes are inspired by Martha's own residences, as are the interior design details such as wainscoting, picture-frame molding, open shelving, bead board and more. Visitors to the community can tour three model homes decorated by the Martha Stewart design team. Pricing on your very own Martha-inspired home begins in the mid $300,000s.

"I am thrilled that our KB Home Martha Stewart community in Stapleton is one of the best selling in Colorado," said Martha Stewart. "These homes demonstrate the excellent design and value we know is important to our customers."

Since opening in 2002, Denver's premier planned community, Stapleton, has attracted over 7,000 new residents--and it's easy to see why. Stapleton is located just 10 minutes outside downtown Denver, and marks a return to old-fashioned neighborhoods, with a modern twist. Residents enjoy expansive public parks, biking and hiking trails, swimming pools, convenient one-stop shopping centers and community events.
