Builder of Homes in Developed Areas Hailed

Professional Builder magazine has honored Stephen Olson, whose Seal Beach-based Olson Co. specializes in building housing in already developed urban areas.

In bestowing its Professional Achievement Award, the magazine praised Olson’s “special touch” in balancing the interests of neighborhood groups, government and low- to moderate-income home buyers.

Olson’s work is influencing residential builders throughout Southern California, said Roy Diez, editorial director of Professional Builder.
