Port St. Lucie, FL – Minto Communities has some good news for residents and buyers at LakePark at Tradition, a new active adult community in St. Lucie County. The award-winning home builder announced that it will start building the LakePark amenity facilities a couple of months ahead of schedule. Construction is scheduled to start later this fall with a delivery date next summer. 

“Because of brisk home sales, we are now in a position to start building our resort-style amenities earlier than we had planned,” said Steve Svopa, vice president of Minto Communities. “In the meantime, our residents will continue to have access to similar recreation facilities at our nearby sister community, TownPark at Tradition.”

Once completed, the LakePark facilities will be for the exclusive use of residents and their guests. Even when completed, residents will still have the option of enjoying the amenities at TownPark if they wish.   

The amenities at LakePark will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, cabanas, screened lanai for social gatherings, outdoor seating area and grill, event lawn and residents-only dog park. Parks and nature trails surround both Minto communities at Tradition.   

LakePark at Tradition captures the charm of a small town while offering adults over 55 years of age an active and carefree vacation-inspired lifestyle.  To date, most of the community’s residents have come from South Florida, primarily St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties.

Pricing for Minto’s maintenance-free single-family and villa homes at LakePark range from the $190,000s to the mid-$200,000s. For a limited time, Minto is offering a $15,000 buyer incentive on select homes.

In addition, Minto is offering prospective buyers a Stay & Play Getaway to test drive the lifestyle.  Guests will be able to stay in a home for three days and two nights and enjoy existing amenities, and play golf at the PGA Golf Club, located just minutes away.

Minto is known for its award-winning communities and exceptional home designs. LakePark residences feature quality and energy-efficient construction, open interiors, spacious kitchens and designer baths.

There’s also a host of included premium features and architectural details that are included in the base price of each home.

Minto offers a selection of five villa home designs ranging from 1,565 to 1,862 square feet under air, and four single-family floorplans that offer 1,895 to 2,220 square feet under air.

Four of Minto’s model homes at LakePark earned awards from the Treasure Coast Builders’ Association in 2016. 
  
LakePark at Tradition is located in the heart of Florida’s Treasure Coast. Shopping, dining and entertainment options are just a stroll or bike ride away at Tradition Square. The area offers quick access to I-95 and the Turnpike for easy drives to Orlando, St. Augustine and the Palm Beaches.

Late last year, a nationally recognized real estate consulting firm named Tradition among the top 50 master-planned communities in the United States.

History Repeating: JLL Q1 Report Shows Highest Phoenix Office Rents Since 2007


 
Dennis Desmond
PHOENIX, AZ – Even with more than 1.1 million square feet of new space delivered in the first quarter of the year, average asking rents for Phoenix office product has increased to the highest level in nine years, according to the Q1 2017 Phoenix Office Insight [add link] report released this week by the Phoenix office of JLL.

Reaching $24.91 per-square-foot, today’s Phoenix office rent average is just 7.1 percent lower than the pre-recession high of $26.82, set in Q4 2007.

Total vacancy remains relatively unchanged – and still under 20 percent – as new construction just slightly outpaces demand, and with more than half of all new space delivered in Q1 2017 representing preleased product, primarily at the Marina Heights/State Farm development in downtown Tempe.

“Since 1990, there have been three significant cycles that have dramatically impacted the Phoenix economy and its office rents, and each cycle contained a period of peak and trough rental rates,” said JLL Senior Managing Director Dennis Desmond. “This creates some level of predictability, and – as predicted – history is repeating itself.”
