March 1, 2005: PARKER, COLORADO — C&A Companies’ brisk 2005 condominium and townhome sales at Highlands at Stonegate reflect the distinctive architecture and unmatched amenities available in this final component of the Stonegate master planned community, one of Colorado’s most desirable residential enclaves since its launch in the early 1980s.
