Revival of Parkland, FL

The City of Parkland has had an upsurge in activity, with Toll Brothers breathing life back into the Parkland Country Club and WCI’s proposed development of over 200 new homes.

While not everyone is happy about WCI building homes in Parkland, it is a sign of a vibrant comeback for Parkland and Heron Bay.

When WCI filed for bankruptcy many were concerned with the fate of Parkland Golf, however, since the purchase by Toll Brothers the community is again positioned as one of the finest country clubs in South Florida.

We are truly excited for the future of both, Parkland and Heron Bay, and look forward to contributing to the beautification of both of these communities. We currently still have lots available at both Heron Bay Country Club and Parkland Golf and Country Club.

Those interested in building a new custom home in either community should contact Rick Bell. Only a limited amount of lots remain in both communities, don’t hesitate.

Market not booming but improving

Wealthy and international buyers are coming out of the woodwork looking to get their hands on a well priced luxury home. Upscale homes are being purchased more readily, but it should not be misconstrued as a return of a real estate boom. As a luxury home builder, I have seen a much needed improvement in new home sales. So far this year, we have sold four luxury estates in Landmark Ranch Estates with prices over three million.

With the economy set to move up, there is no better time to purchase a new custom home. The stock markets are rising daily, interest rates are low and luxury real estate is quickly disappearing.
