Public context: March 4, 2026 PR Newswire: Richmond American opened Desert Bloom at Monarch with a March 7 grand-opening event; homes from the upper $400s at launch. Parent Sekisui House U.S. (formerly M.D.C. Holdings) owns the Richmond American brand — parent ownership ≠ the Arizona GC on your packet. Match Richmond American Construction Inc (#206612). Shared Marana geography with Mandarina and Cypress Gardens does **not** merge ROC files.
