We are thrilled to announce that Twin Oaks Hollister has been selected as a Silver Finalist in the 2024 NAHB 55+ Best Amenity category. This recognition is a testament to our dedication to creating a vibrant, amenity-rich community that offers more than just homes—we provide a lifestyle.
Why This Award Matters
The NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) 55+ Housing Awards are among the most prestigious recognitions in the homebuilding industry. These awards celebrate excellence in design, innovation, and lifestyle offerings for the 55+ market. As a smaller builder, being named a Silver Finalist is a significant achievement that places Twin Oaks alongside some of the most respected names in the industry. It reflects our commitment to understanding and meeting the unique needs of active adults seeking a community that feels like home.
Twin Oaks Hollister: The Cannery Club and Beyond
“It’s a thrill to receive recognition from such a prestigious award competition,” says Marty Miller, whose family company developed Twin Oaks. Last year, Twin Oaks was honored with a Merit Award as Best Senior Living Community at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference - also known as the Gold Nugget. Now, as a Silver Finalist for The Nationals, Twin Oaks is in contention for the Gold Award, to be presented in Las Vegas on February 25, 2025.
“It’s gratifying to have our vision recognized—a boutique 55+ community of just 168 homes with a resort-style amenity program,” says Miller, who spent close to 20 years bringing Twin Oaks to fruition.
From the outset, the Miller family prioritized bringing in world-class club management for the Cannery Club to ensure that it offered more than just a beautiful space. “Anyone can build a clubhouse. We wanted a lifestyle program that would exceed expectations,” he explains. That’s why Twin Oaks partnered with Blue Star Resort and Golf, a leading management organization, to run the Cannery Club. Blue Star brought on Mariah Giunta, a wellness, hospitality, and event management veteran from Hollister, as Club Manager.
“Creating and managing the lifestyle program for the residents at Twin Oaks utilizes all the skills I’ve developed in my career,” explains Giunta. “We’re blending fitness classes, social activities, culinary events, and excursions into a vibrant program. The emphasis is on well-being, lifelong learning, and social connection. There’s always something going on at the Cannery Club.”
What Sets The Cannery Club Apart
The Cannery Club is the heart of the Twin Oaks community. Its thoughtfully designed amenities include:
- A resort pool and whirlpool.
- Pickleball and bocce ball courts.
- A fitness studio and movement studio.
- Social spaces for gatherings and events.
- A full catering kitchen and a demonstration kitchen.
- Beverage lockers and a self-service pet spa.
These features, combined with an engaging lifestyle program, create a truly unique experience for residents.
“The Silver Award tells us we’re doing something right,” Miller continues. “The competitors in this amenity category are all big, national builders. We are an independent, family-run developer, but we have produced amenities of the same quality and appeal.”
Additional Recognition
Twin Oaks has also earned local acclaim, winning Best 55+ Community in the Best of San Benito Awards for two consecutive years. This recognition reinforces our belief that we’re delivering something special.
“The best part is that we’ve achieved this at an attainable price point,” concludes Miller. “When prospective residents come to tour, they’re simply amazed by everything that this community has to offer.”
