APOLLO BEACH, Fla. --- Del Webb Southshore Falls homeowner Bruce Davis is a noted author, lecturer and gymnastics trainer whose life long passion got its start thanks to the guidance of his sister – three-time Olympian Muriel Grossfeld – in Indianapolis.
Now Davis and his wife Rita have owned and operated FlipFlops & Fitness at 328 Apollo Beach Blvd. in Apollo Beach for the past 11 years, and Davis is still paying back his famous sister.
Though he competed in college at South Connecticut State University in New Haven, Davis never made the Olympic team, the Holy Grail of gymnasts. But he’s done the next best thing---training Olympians and inspiring thousands more to excel in gymnastics.
Flip Flops & Fitness is located just five minutes from their Del Webb Southshore Falls home, one of the many advantages of the active adult neighborhood.
“We love our neighbors, I’d have to say that’s the biggest appeal at Del Webb Southshore Falls,” Davis said.
At FlipFlops & Fitness, the Davises offer children from preschool to teens training in gymnastics and tumbling geared for competition and cheerleading. He conducts 21 classes a week with 4-8 children in each class.
Davis, who earned his Bachelors Degree in Health and Physical Education from SCSU and a Masters Degree from Ohio University at the age of 21, taught and coached at Miami-Dade Community College North Campus for 33 years before retiring as Professor Emeritus in 1999.
While teaching in Miami, Davis opened Gymiami, a private gymnastics school, where he trained Olympian Kurt Thomas and national team member Cathy Shotwell. He took a one-year leave from Miami-Dade to pursue another passion as the managing editor for International Gymnastics magazine further wetting his appetite for gymnastics journalism
He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the World Acrobatics Society and is an internationally recognized authority on gymnastics.
The Davises were drawn to Del Webb Southshore Falls by the upscale features and barrel tile roofs and the fact that all homes are built to meet or exceed the tough Miami-Dade code.
“We enjoy our home at Del Webb Southshore Falls very much and appreciate the PulteGroup for putting it here,” Davis said.

APOLLO BEACH, Fla. – Margie and Richard Trostheim of Cedar Falls, Iowa, were recently feted as the 500th home buyers at Del Webb Southshore Falls, the historic active adult community located at Shell Falls Drive in Apollo Beach.

Lennar eyes Substantial Growth in Active Adult Communities in Brevard, Lake Counties
CLEMONT, Fla. - Lennar’s Central Florida Division, which builds new single-family homes and town homes in the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Space Coast regions, foresees substantial growth in active adult communities in Florida.
“As the recession begins to improve, pent up demand for retirement homes will speed recovery in the active adult market,” said Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division.
Metheny said Lennar is planning new phases in active adult communities in Melbourne and in Clermont.
In the next phase at Heritage Isle in Melbourne 60 new single-family homes priced from the $100s to over $300,000 are planned along with 40 villas priced in the $150s and 64 two and three-bedroom condominiums priced from the $130s, Metheny said.
At Heritage Hills in Clermont, 80 new villa homes are planned to start construction before the end of the year. Two and three bedroom villa homes at Heritage Hills are priced from the $130s.
“Metheny said active adult buyers look for quality construction, zero-maintenance homes and affordable pricing in communities that offer a wide range of activities.

One factor in recession may hit bottom this summer as new home inventories decline, reports Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Cent. FL division
One factor in recession may hit bottom this summer as new home inventories decline, reports Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida division
TAMPA, Fla. - At least one part of the housing recession appears to be nearing its end, reports one of Florida’s largest home builders.
Lennar’s Central Florida Division, which builds new single-family and town homes priced from the $100s to the $400s in some 35 communities throughout the Central Florida regions of Tampa Bay, Metro Orlando and the Space Coast, reports that it has sold out nearly all of its inventory homes.
“We’re down to the last 25 inventory homes,” said Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division. “That is a sustainable number, and they are spread out over our communities in Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, Osceola, Orange, Lake, Seminole and Brevard counties,” he said.
Metheny said new home sales activity is strongest in the active adult sector, and Lennar is planning to expand to accommodate the growing number of active adult and retirement-aged adults moving to Florida.
The home builder announced last week it will expand its active adult communities in Brevard and Lake Counties by some 150 new homes.
In addition, Metheny said, four new communities are planned to start construction before the end of this year.

Avalon Park Group Aims at Developing Model Town Center Facility for Adult Independent, Assisted Living
ORLANDO, Fla. - Avalon Park Group has set its sights on developing a model facility in its town center for adult independent and assisted living, with construction expected to start early next year.
Ross Halle, town planner and architect at Avalon Park, said the four-story building may expand to five stories.
The first phase will include 140,000 square feet of space with 130 living units at a cost of approximately $21 million.
Ultimately, the facility will include 265,000 square feet of space at an estimated cost of $35 million, Halle said.
Avalon Park Group has commissioned a design and development team that includes lenders, architects, a construction company and an experienced management firm.
Avalon Park Group selected Winter Park Construction Company to provide pre-design consulting services, Halle said.
Cuhaci & Peterson Architects, LLC of Orlando has been named the project’s architect, and SanMar Management Associates of New York City will provide operations and management services.
Lancaster Pollard of Alpharetta, Ga., will provide lending services for the project.
Halle said the center will provide facilities for independent living and assisted living residents and specialized facilities for the care of alzheimer patients.
“We believe that Avalon Park will provide the foundation for a future that allows seniors to stay connected, healthy, stimulated and active in a larger familiar, safe and secure place with direct access to the civic, commercial, and residential activities occurring daily,” Halle said.
