Good question and it has a twofold answer about the designer homes. As I have predicted in my video #122 there will be premier homes later this year in Dabney. As for why they stopped after the Conservation Trail area, hard to say but looking at some of the areas like DeLuna, Richmond, StC, StJ, and Hawkins, there were not a lot of good/desirable locations for the premier homes.

As for the designer homes, here goes.
Reason #1 - there were a handful of designer homes built in the last 18 months that have stressed the system with long design timelines and because of the level of customizations longer than average construction times. This has led to isolated homes still under construction in villages/areas that were otherwise complete. This led to difficulties of access and parking of construction vehicles and because of their isolated nature, inefficient manpower usage. To remedy this they've reduced the customizations allowed to get the crews all working in the same areas and not be spread across 4 or 5 villages.
Reason #2 - many of the designer homes that were heavily customized and riveled or exceeded some premier homes. I've personally taken pictures of no less than 5 homes over 3000sqft and one over 4000sqft in the last year. With the release of premier homes coming and their higher price tag, allowing extensive customization of the designer homes (at a lower overall price) would erode the number of potential buyers of this new offering. Lowering the limits for customization for designer homes now raises the demand for premier homes. A business decision was made.
