The New Esplanade on the Block
National builder Taylor Morrison plans to build a 153-acre tract for a new community in Hacienda Lakes, a 2,262-acre development off Collier Boulevard, according to the Naples Daily News.
The renowned Physicians Regional Medical Center is adjacent to the community and major grocery and retailer superstores are also close by. Residents of Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes may enjoy the clubhouse, sport courts, resort-style pool, walking paths and more, according to Taylor Morrison.
“This is an excellent beginning for the residential component of Hacienda Lakes,” said David E. Torres, president of Hacienda Lakes of Naples LLC. “Taylor Morrison is a well-respected builder with a history and reputation for creating quality communities. This neighborhood is to be called Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes and will be similar in amenities to their successful resort-style community within the Lakewood Ranch master-planned community in Sarasota, Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch.”
Construction on the new luxury homes has already begun and the first model is expected to open this spring.
The new community plans to include 443 Mediterranean-inspired villas and single-family homes surrounded by a serene 30 acres of lakes and conservation areas.
The homes are influenced by California Tuscan architecture featuring tile roofs, ornamental detailing and lush landscaping.
More than 1,500 acres will be left as a preserve area for residents to enjoy Florida’s natural and wild beauty. The project is permitted to include 1,760 homes; 135 hotel rooms; 327,000 square feet of retail space; 140,000 gross square feet of business park or educational facility; 70,000 square feet of professional and medical office space; and a public school.
Taylor Morrison is currently the largest North American privately-owned homebuilder based in the United States, as reported by Hanley Wood based on 2011 revenues. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz., Taylor Morrison builds and develops single-family detached and attached homes. Under the Taylor Morrison brand, the company operates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida and Texas.
