There’s something special about having the work you pour your heart into recognized by your peers. Earlier this month, Hillwood Communities had that moment in a big way, bringing home nine awards at the 2026 Marketing & Advertising Excellence (MAX) Awards hosted by the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin.

A Big Night for Wolf Ranch

In addition to these nine wins, Hillwood Communities was also named a finalist for both Community of the Year and Best Lifestyle Director, rounding out an outstanding evening.

What These Awards Represent

Awards like these don’t happen by accident. They reflect the commitment that drives every decision at Wolf Ranch, from the design of River Camp along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River to the thoughtfully curated lifestyle programming that keeps residents connected and engaged year-round.

“These awards are a direct reflection of the creativity, dedication, and collaboration of our Austin team,” said Duke Kerrigan, Senior Vice President, a General Manager in Austin. “From the lifestyle programming to the marketing execution, every detail at Wolf Ranch is thoughtfully designed to create a meaningful experience for our residents. It’s rewarding to see that work recognized at such a high level.”

Recognition like this reinforces what so many Wolf Ranch residents already know: this is a community where the details matter. Whether it’s a world-class amenity space, an award-winning lifestyle program, or the vibrant energy that defines daily life here, Wolf Ranch continues to set the bar for master-planned living in Central Texas.

Congratulations to the entire Hillwood Communities Austin team on this well-deserved achievement. We’re proud to call Wolf Ranch home, and we can’t wait to see what comes next.
