Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On July 15, 2005, The Ryland Group, Inc., and the subsidiary guarantors set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture, dated December 22, 2004 (together, the “Company”), provided notice to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Chemical Bank) (the “Trustee”), that the Company is calling all of its $150 million principal amount 9¾% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) for full redemption on September 1, 2005 in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. The $150 million principal amount outstanding includes $3 million of notes owned by the Company. The redemption price is 104.875% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. Therefore, the Notes will be redeemed at a price of $1,048.75 per $1,000 note outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid semi-annual interest of $48.75 per $1,000 note, which will result in an aggregate amount of approximately $164.6 million to be paid to holders of record. Holders of the Notes will receive by mail a notice of redemption setting forth the redemption procedures.

A copy of the press release issued today by the Company announcing the redemption is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
