JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Beazer Homes has started construction of 13 new town homes at Verano at Bartram Park, located off Bartram Park Rd. in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville.
David Byrnes, president of Beazer Homes in Florida, said the two, three and four-bedroom town homes range in size from 1,416 square feet of living space to 1,496 square feet with attached one-car garages.
New town homes at Verano at Bartram Park are priced from $134,990 to $155,600.
Byrnes said the surge in new construction is a direct result of U.S. economic stimulus efforts.
“New home buyers have until the end of November to take advantage of the $8,000 U.S. Federal tax credit,” Byrnes said. “The tax credit has already had a big impact on sales and we anticipate a big last-minute rush to buy homes in the best locations before the tax credit expires,” he said.
All 13 new tax credit town homes will be completed in early November, Byrnes said.

Builder Magazine Names Lennar’s Stoneybrook at Venice One of 10 Top-Selling Communities in the U.S.
VENICE, Fla. - Builder Magazine, the leading U.S. journal of the home building industry, has named Lennar’s Stoneybrook at Venice one of the nation’s 10 top selling new communities.
Stoneybrook at Venice ranked as the only Florida community named to Builder Magazine’s Top 10 list and one of two communities in the southeastern U.S., along with Sun City Carolina Lakes in the Charlotte area. The other eight communities are located in southern California, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, the Chicago area and Colorado.
Matt Devereaux, director of sales for Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division, said he was delighted with the recognition and he knows why Stoneybrook at Venice was singled out: “lots of new home sales.”
Lennar recently announced it sold 20 new homes at Stoneybrook at Venice in a June-July six-week period, at prices ranging from $244,900 to $349,900.
Community amenities are a big reason for the strong sales, Devereaux said.
“Stoneybrook at Venice offers all the amenities of an island resort,” he said.
The community center includes a resort-style swimming pool, a kid’s splash pool, and an in-line skating park, a health club with an onsite activity director and four lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, two sand volleyball courts and a multi-purpose sports field.
Stoneybrook at Venice is located off North River and Center Rds. one mile west of I-75 Exit 191.

Full Month of Activities underway at Lennar’s Concept Home Showplace at Wyndham Lakes in South Orlando
ORLANDO, Fla. - Lennar is underway with a full month of activities in September to celebrate the unveiling of its Concept Home Showplace, located in Stratford Cove at Wyndham Lakes off Landstar Blvd. between the Central Florida Greenway and Town Center Blvd. in South Orlando.

“With this many model homes and so many features and variations, the traditional fully-furnished model home could turn into a blur,” Parker said. “Instead, we’ve furnished individual rooms---kitchens, dining rooms, family rooms and porches and lanais in some cases---to highlight special features in each home,” he said.
Lennar will also unveil new three, four and five-bedroom floor plans that range in size from 1,515 square feet of living space to 3,283 square feet.
The public is invited to all Concept Home Showplace events in September, and anyone can register to win a new car worth $30,000 and free gas for a lifetime.
September Concept Home Showplace events coming up include:
•Thursday, Sept. 10 Lennar will host a Realtor Wine and Cheese reception, with tours of the Concept Home Showcase from 4 to 6 p.m. Parker said Orlando and Kissimmee Realtors have been invited and he expects to host as many as 250 participants during the evening.
•Friday, Sept. 11 Lennar will host a Teachers Appreciation Reception for Orange and Osceola County school teachers – a catered wine & cheese event and tours from 4 to 6 p.m. “Our Concept Home Showplace was designed to appeal to working families with smarter homes that offer more lifestyle at more affordable prices,” Parker said.
•Saturday, Sept. 12 Lennar will host a Kids Fest for the Grand Opening event of the Concept Home Showplace from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parker said families have been invited to participate with their children. “Our new concept homes were designed to raise families and we plan to host games, giveaways and activities for children to show off all the kid-friendly design elements in our Concept Homes,” Parker said.
