DENVER, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., whose subsidiaries build homes under the name "Richmond American Homes," today announced that it has created a new division in each of the Phoenix and Northern Virginia markets, and has promoted five individuals to leadership positions.
