Ladies and Gentlemen:

Standard Pacific Corp., on behalf of itself and the co-registrants listed in the above referenced Registration Statement (collectively, the “Registrants”), pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, hereby respectfully requests that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated to, and that such Registration Statement be declared effective on, Monday, December 14, 2009, at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

In connection with the above request, the Registrants hereby acknowledge that:

 

   

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff of the Commission, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Registrants may not assert the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
