Lennar Jacksonville Purchases Palencia North

ST AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Dec. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Leading national homebuilder Lennar has purchased the Palencia North neighborhood in the master-planned community of Palencia just a short drive away from the nation’s oldest city. Lennar announced it will develop 595 homesites surrounded by over 100 acres of preserve, conservation areas and lake views, with two model homes projected for completion in early spring 2014. Over 200 of the homesites are already developed and Lennar will begin construction in the next 30 days.

Lennar is committed to not only building quality homes in Northeast Florida, but offering future home owners a range of home plans at a tremendous value.

“We will be developing four different homesite sizes, ranging from 50’ to 80’ wide, each with unique floor plans and features,” said Lennar Director of Land Acquisition and Development Scott Keiling. “With spectacular natural environment and an abundance of recreational opportunities right here in the community, we’re excited to complete the development of the homesites in Palencia North.”

Residents will have easy access to beautiful Florida beaches, outdoor activities at Deep Creek State Park and excellent health care at the Mayo Clinic, in addition to the shopping, dining and entertainment of downtown historic St. Augustine.  But Palencia’s location isn’t the only thing that makes it special.

This one-of-a-kind community is anchored by The Palencia Club, featuring a 33,000 square foot clubhouse and Arthur Hills-designed championship golf course. Lennar homeowners will have full use of Palencia’s world-class amenities that include ten tennis courts, four swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa services, soccer and baseball fields and a regulation-sized basketball court.

Families with children will enjoy the Pirate Playground, Family Picnic Pavilion and eight miles of nature trails. What’s more, Palencia Elementary school is situated right in the community. Excellent schools in St. Johns County adjacent to the community include Pacetti Bay Middle School and Allen D. Nease High School.

“We’re thrilled to bring Lennar to Palencia North and continue to invest in the St. Augustine area,” said Lennar Jacksonville Division President Barbara Moore. “Our team is looking forward to giving back and building new relationships with this community as we anticipate tremendous growth here.”

With Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program, homebuyers don’t have to compromise to get the house of their dreams.  Each energy-efficient home at Palencia North will have granite countertops, ceramic tile floors, stainless steel appliances and more, all included in the price.  With other builders such features are typically only offered as expensive upgrades, often adding thousands of dollars to the cost of the home.
