Course Description
Hovnanian International is committed to supporting the revitalization of an independent Armenia by bringing Armenians from all over the world together at Vahakni. We are dedicated to providing world-class homes at Vahakni which bring vital resources to Armenia and allow our people to reclaim their past, celebrate their heritage and contribute to the future of Armenia.Vahakni Residential Community is the realization of a dream. The moment Armenia became a free and independent country, Vahakn S. Hovnanian, a successful property developer from the United States with over 60 years experience, wanted to build a proper housing community with world class standards in the post soviet country. Instead of knocking down existing soviet built buildings and displacing families from the capitol city's centre, Hovnanian chose a gorgeous site within the city limits with views of the biblical Mount Ararat. The first two years were spent clearing the former orchard and + vineyard of debris from years of neglect, and restoring the landscape to its natural beauty.The Vahakni Residential Community plan envisages construction of 700 homes: single family homes, townhouses, and mansion style condominiums, and a development within a development of 2300 apartments and commercial units with upgraded state of the art infrastructure and original architectural solutions. The district is divided into eight sections with a choice of either Hovnanian-built villas, cottages, and town-houses of different architectural styles, or fully improved and connected property lots on which to build one's dream home . The man-made reservoir, Lake Shant, a Hotel with artists studios, an outdoor shopping mall and Ararat Valley Country Club with its swimming pool, mini golf, golf driving range, and 9 hole executive golf course, 2 professional tennis courts, football fields and a restaurant/clubhouse perfectly complement and complete the community. Vahakni began in 1998 with the golf course, followed by the first finished homes in 2001. Quality Schools International established itself in the Vahakni Community in 2009 to add to the community's family oriented flavor. Ever growing at a slow, but steady pace, Vahakni Residential Community has become an integral part of Yerevan.Now Vahakni offers not only beautiful homes and a superbly improved green environment, but also a quiet, safe, and healthy lifestyle. In its 19 years of existence, Vahakni Residential Community has built more than 350 houses and 2 buildings with 16 apartments, all housing roughly 1500 residents, with many, many more under construction.
