SARASOTA, Fla., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KOLTER HOMES – a leader in developing next-generation, highly-amenitized, master-planned active adult communities in the Southeastern U.S. – has announced Fall 2019 as the target opening of its latest Cresswind active adult community in Florida. Land development for Cresswind Lakewood Ranch began late last year. The property is located within award-winning Lakewood Ranch, just north of SR 70 along the new Uihlein Road extension, 5 miles from Lakewood Ranch Centre, 15 miles from downtown Bradenton, and 18 miles from downtown Sarasota.

Cresswind is designed specifically for 55+, active adult new home buyers. The Cresswind lifestyle focuses on three pillars: Fitness, Nutrition and Relationships.

"We are excited to bring our Cresswind concept to Lakewood Ranch," said Kolter Homes Vice President David Langhout. "The experience Kolter has gained over the last ten years with our Cresswind communities in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, gives us a deep appreciation for what today's active adult homebuyer is looking for. Add that to all that Lakewood Ranch offers as the #1 multi-generational community in the United States, and it's a big win for 55+ homebuyers."

Ranch officials see Cresswind's presence as a valuable complement to the existing villages and neighborhoods. "Lakewood Ranch is excited to welcome Kolter's Cresswind village into our community," said Laura Cole, senior vice president of LWR Communities, LLC. "We anticipate they will be very successful here given their track record of delivering distinctive active adult communities within the context of master-planned communities like ours."

Plans for this new age-restricted Cresswind community include a resident-exclusive clubhouse overseen by a full-time lifestyle director with a demonstration kitchen, ballroom, fitness center, yoga studio, art studio with ceramics, billiards, and various social clubs. Planned outdoor amenities across Cresswind's 250+ acres include pickleball & tennis courts, walking trails, resort-style pool and spa, event lawn, bocce courts, outdoor social areas and more. This will be Kolter Homes' eighth Cresswind community, and its second new home community in the Sarasota market. The company is also developing and building Artistry Sarasota.

A total of 648 homes are planned to be built within the gates of Cresswind Lakewood Ranch. Kolter's one-story homes are designed specifically for active adults, and will range from 2- to 4-bedrooms. Plan concepts offer a wide range of personalization and structural options, including second-floor bonus rooms and expanded outdoor living areas.
