A model “home within a home” in a parking lot near IKEA and Dick’s Sporting Goods is hoping to attract enough attention to make the NextGen home by Lennar a success in communities across Arizona.

Lennar Homes built the model home to display its new concept, called NextGen. It’s a home with a separate suite attached that’s perfect for parents living with older children, children moving back in with parents, or even just a home office or business.

“An architect out of Vegas, Howard Perlman, came up with the concept,” said Alan Jones, Lennar’s Arizona division president. “He spent a bunch of time in Europe and he had the initial idea of having a separate living area. You could use it for whatever. It could be a day care center, it can be an office, and it works really well for those. Not everyone is using it for a mom or a dad or child that’s coming back. The concept was to create a separate living space and a separate entrance where they can live there and come in as much as you want because there’s a door that connects. You can lock that door if you want to.”

The NextGen show home is a 2,945-square-foot floor plan and includes a 650-square-foot suite with a bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchenette, washer and dryer, one-car attached garage and separate front door entry. It is literally a home within a home, built just outside IKEA. {Read More}

Lennar’s Phoenix Lone Mountain Grand Opening Draws 1,500 Over Two Days

Lennar — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:00:06 +0000

Lone Mountain Model

Lennar’s Phoenix Lone Mountain community opened its doors to the public last week, attracting 1,500 people to the model homes in the first two days alone. The picturesque new master planned community, located near 60th Street and Lone Mountain in the Phoenix northeast valley, is the first new master plan to open in the metro area in several years.

“We knew Lennar had a unique offering in today’s environment. The response from our grand opening celebration has proven agents and potential buyers will certainly consider the possibility of making Lone Mountain home,” said Alan Jones, president of Lennar’s Arizona Division.

Lone Mountain offers sweeping vistas of the high Sonoran desert and mountains, as well as city lights. It has been called one of the most scenic new communities to be built in the Valley in the last decade. Anticipated amenities include trails, parks with playfields, playgrounds, desert gardens, a picnic ramada, and a basketball court. An estimated 300 acres in the community will remain natural area open space.

Trees Friend of HomeSmart was the buyer’s agent on one of the transactions that weekend. “I live near Lone Mountain and have been watching the progress for the last several years with great intrigue. A client was interested in investment properties and I knew that Lennar might consider the sale and lease-back of their models. My client purchased the largest model home and couldn’t be more pleased,” said Friend.

“We had several sales the weekend of the event and we have several more that will be finalized in the coming week,” said Mike Dowell, Lennar’s vice president of sales and marketing.

The one and two story homes range in size from 2,878 square feet to 3,811 square feet and are priced from the mid-$400’s. Lennar and Pulte are jointly developing the 600-acre property, which was purchased at a state trust land sale in 2000. All homesites in the cactus-studded community back up to open space as the property has many interesting washes that create natural are open space. Schools, shopping and worship sites are conveniently located near the community.

Building industry insider Lynn Palmer attended the Lone Mountain grand opening and was amazed at the traffic. “I thought the models looked great and the location is terrific. Lennar hit a home run. Based on the number of people at the opening, this is a good sign the real estate industry is coming back to life,” said Palmer who co-owns the Renewal Zone, an on-line real estate school and real estate consulting business.

“It’s great to see home builders unveiling new models and the public responding in such a positive manner,” said Dennis Sage, owner of Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, a company that provides audio and visual upgrades for new homes. “This could be an indicator that consumer confidence has returned,” he noted.

Lennar was founded in 1954 and is one of the nation’s leading builders of homes for people of all ages. The company has been building in Arizona for more than 45 years and owns considerable land holdings in the state.

Lennar Phoenix Announces Groundbreaking Of Highly Anticipated Lone Mountain Community In Northeast Valley

Lennar — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:00:14 +0000

Lennar Associates Break Ground

Being deemed the “the next great Phoenix master planned community,” Lennar recently announced that they have now begun breaking ground at their newest and most exciting new home community Lone Mountain, located in the prestigious northeast valley.

For prices that are expected to begin from the mid $400,000’s, the highly anticipated Lone Mountain will present several floor plan styles on sprawling cul-de-sac home sites of up to one-half acre. All home sites back up to natural open space allowing residents to fully enjoy this area’s natural beauty and spaciousness.

Known for being one of the most desirable places to live in Phoenix, the northeast valley is set amidst the beautiful high Sonoran Desert with mountain views to the north and spectacular city lights to the south.

“Lennar is proud to be involved in one of the last great large properties available in this area,” said Alan Jones, Lennar Arizona Division President. “With neighbors like Troon, Troon North, Terravita, Tatum Ranch and The Boulders, Lennar is extremely excited about this idyllic Lone Mountain location.”

“With nearly 300 acres remaining as native desert open space, this enviable location offers the perfect setting for Lone Mountain and is further characterized by the large living spaces being offered both inside and out,” Jones noted while attending the groundbreaking ceremony in November. “It is not surprising that potential buyers are already signing up in the hundreds to receive updates about this desirable location.”

The master planned community will include over 600 acres and nearly 800 homes when completed and is designed as a family friendly environment with play fields, tot lots, desert gardens, ramadas and a basketball court.

Additionally, all Lone Mountain homes are equipped with the most up-to-date and modern amenities homebuyers most desire, including stainless steel appliances, granite slab countertops, walk-in closets, his and hers vanities, as well as private master bedroom retreats.

“As the home supply in Phoenix continues to diminish, Lennar is continually growing and providing our customers with several choices in new home styles,” said Jones. “The ground breaking of Lone Mountain is proof that Lennar is poised for growth in the Valley and plans to continue building new homes in Arizona for years to come.”

With three brand new communities set to open in Fall 2009, Lennar is buying new land and aggressively expanding throughout the Phoenix Valley while many other builders are contracting.

Lennar has been building homes in Phoenix for the past 44 years and we expect to be building homes here for years to come.”

Evans Ranch is conveniently located across the street from the newly opened Basha High School.

Model homes are currently under construction at Bella Via, located near Warner and Signal Butte in the city of Mesa. With 81 home sites being offered, the charming single-family homes will range from 1,400 to 2,567 square feet and pricing is anticipated to start in the upper $100,000’s. Bella Via is part of the larger Bella Via master plan community and offers a desirable location close to a variety of new shopping and recreation centers, with easy access to the 60 freeway.

Also located in the city of Mesa, the single-family homes at Keighley Place will offer 1,563 to 2,767 square feet of living space on 42 home sites.

Tucson Homebuyers Find Lifelong Dream Home With Lennar

Lennar — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:00:21 +0000

It took them five years, but Bob and Donna Laudonio finally found the home of their dreams: an approximately 1,955-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath masterpiece in Lennar’s Empire Vista community. Originally from New York, the Laudonios had been searching for a retirement home in the Tucson area for several years, never settling for anything less than what they deserved. In April, the Laudonios moved into their brand new Lennar home.

“We looked at other homebuilders, but none compared to Lennar,” said Bob Laudonio. “I love everything about our home: the kitchen, the great room, the master bedroom—it feels like home.”

Laudonio said it was the dream home he had envisioned, and no remodeling, repairs or alterations were needed. The home came equipped with upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large master suite with a walk-in closet and his and hers vanities. All of these upgraded features and amenities are part of Lennar’s longstanding mantra that a home should be exactly as a homebuyer desires: “Everything you want. Everything you need. That’s the Logic of Lennar®.”

“Everything was included in the Lennar homes. There was no such thing as too many upgrades; everything Lennar gave us was the best they had,” said Laudonio. “Lennar is fantastic, the people that work for Lennar are fantastic and they made this home buying experience fantastic.”

In addition to including upgraded amenities as standard, Lennar remains committed to giving homebuyers unique added value by situating their communities near retail centers, highly-respectable school districts and major highways.

Due to popular demand, Laudino’s Empire Vista community has sold out but Lennar still offers homebuyers six different communities to choose from in the Tucson, Sahuarita, Marana and Vail areas, with several brand new homes starting from the mid $100,000’s.

Near the entrance of stunning Madera Canyon in Sahuarita, Madera Highlands is centered around a 14-acre village park with access to a pool, basketball and tennis courts, a sports field, a dog park and much more. The three and four-bedroom single family homes are only a short drive to nearby Green Valley and Tucson.

Located at the base of the Santa Rita Mountains in Vail, Corona Hills offers spacious three to five-bedroom single family homes ranging from 1,601 to 2,907 square feet and starting in the low $200,000’s.

Mirasol at Star Valley offers residents playgrounds, parks, basketball courts, jogging paths and barbeque ramadas perfect for outdoor entertaining. Featuring three to five-bedroom homes with prices starting in the mid $100,000’s, Mirasol provides the relaxing atmosphere of desert living while still being only a short drive from I-10 and I-19.

Sycamore Park, a master-planned 210-acre community, is centered around a seven and a half acre park with sports fields and picnic areas. With prices starting in the mid $200,000’s, the three and four-bedroom single family homes range from approximately 1,955 to 2,907 square feet.

Lennar has also begun pre-sales at two new communities: San Lucas in Marana and Lakeside in Tucson. These two new communities will feature energy-efficient floor-plans that include new updated features and materials. San Lucas will feature single family homes ranging from 1,268 to 2,559 square feet and Lakeside will feature single family homes from 1,268 to 1,768 square feet. Prospective buyers may join the interest list for these two communities by visiting www.lennar.com/tucson.

“While other builders are closing communities, we are opening two new communities in the coming months,” said Steve Craddock, Division Manager for Lennar Tucson.

“We want all our homebuyers to be as happy and satisfied with their brand new home as Mr. Laudonio is with his,” said Craddock. “Mr. Laudonio recognized that no other homebuilder is as committed to homebuyers as Lennar. We give our homebuyers that unique added value by offering upgraded amenities included as standard, excellent neighborhoods, quality school districts, and convenient retail access while providing great customer service every step of the way. Top that with unparalleled quality and customer service. That’s the Logic of Lennar.”

There’s no better way to enjoy the lifestyle of Tucson than through one of Lennar’s Communities.

Lennar is celebrating its 55th Anniversary this year and has grown to become one of the nation’s leading homebuilders. With hundreds of Communities nationwide and homes designed for first-time, move-up and luxury homebuyers, Lennar has long distinguished itself by simply including everything as standard. Everything You Want, Everything You NeedSM, That’s the Logic of Lennar.SM
