Oakland Township, Michigan-The Moceri Companies' innovative Somerset Collection Home & Garden Show generated unprecedented results for the award-winning custom homebuilder's magnificent master planned neighborhoods in Oakland Township.

As a result of this unique partnership, an unprecedented number of people visited the Home & Garden Show model homes in the Kingsridge and Kirklands neighborhoods that were furnished and accessorized by participating Somerset Collection retailers. More than 100,000 additional visitors toured the two-story model home by Moceri that graced Somerset's Grand Court last spring. Proceeds from the sales of the models' furnishings as well as proceeds from last May's Charity Garden Party have been donated to the Michigan Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center and Gilda's Club Metro Detroit.

"We are extraordinarily proud of these outstanding communities, and were pleased to showcase our Somerset models as examples of the style and quality standards we offer to custom homebuyers," commented Frank Moceri.

Prominently positioned along what has been referred to as the "Billion Dollar Mile," at the intersection of Adams and Silverbell roads, these five unified single-family home and condominium neighborhoods are linked by bicycle trails and walking paths, including several that are suspended over nature preservation areas. Grand boulevard entrances with masses of seasonal flowers, a stunning glass conservatory, charming gazebos, fountains and water features complement the area's rolling, wooded topography. Named Community of the Year by the Building Industry Association, these neighborhoods enhance the unparalleled investment value of Moceri's neighboring Kingspointe and Hills of Oaklands communities.

For more than four decades, the Moceri Companies has been a leader in the development and construction of master planned communities. Now in its third generation of family management, Moceri's exceptional communities are home to more than 40,000 families.
