Lennar Homes Announces Plans to Build Manor Homes and Estate Homes at Bridgewater at Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota

Lennar Homes announced it plans to build as many as 291 Estate Homes and Manor Homes priced from the $200s to the $600s at Lakewood Ranch, the award-winning 17,500 acre master-planned community located on University Blvd. just east of I-75 between Bradenton and Sarasota.

Matt Devereaux, Director of Sales for Lennar Homes in Southwest Florida, said Lennar will start construction of the first new homes in early 2013.

“Lakewood Ranch is an exciting new opportunity for us and it’s a perfect match for Lennar Homes,” Devereaux said.

New three, four, five and six-bedroom Lennar built homes in Bridgewater at Lakewood Ranch will range in size from 1,861 square feet of living space to 3,800 square feet from 3-5 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms and 2 car garages.

“Lennar is one of America’s premier home builders and with more than 20,000 homes built in the southwest Florida region, we have a long and enviable track record here,” Devereaux explained.

Lakewood Ranch is one of the premier communities in Florida, and it is certainly the focus of community life in the Bradenton-Sarasota area, “We are proud and delighted to be here among some of the best local builders,” he said

Devereaux added that he thinks Lennar’s home building experience will prove worthy of the Lakewood Ranch heritage.

“Every home we build at Lakewood Ranch will come with Lennar’s “Everything’s Included” pledge,” Devereaux said. “And that means everything.”

Lennar’s Everything’s Included pledge - that everything is included in one price from granite kitchen countertops, wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, crown molding and tile in living areas to brick paver driveways and tile roofs – is one reason why the home builder will be selling close to 10,000 new homes throughout the nation this year.
