http://www.JeffHillenbrand.com Parkland Golf And Country Club Real Estate Report: Toll Brothers Steps In To Complete This Magnificent Parkland Country Club Community

Luxury Builder Acquires 350 Homesites, Plans to Build Single-Family and Villa-Style Homes

http://www.JeffHillenbrand.com Parkland Real Estate Update:  Toll Brothers, the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, has purchased Parkland Golf and Country Club, a prestigious community in northwest Broward County with a Greg Norman championship golf course.  Toll Brothers has acquired 350 of the community’s 820 homesites and will begin selling homes in late January 2011 at the community previously owned by WCI Communities.

This is Toll Brothers’ third new luxury community purchased in Southeast Florida this year.  In June, Toll Brothers purchased Frenchman’s Harbor, a 77-acre community situated along the Intracoastal Waterway in Juno Beach, and in April the company acquired the unfinished luxury community of Azura in Boca Raton.

“We are excited to add the country club community of Parkland to our portfolio of luxury communities in Southeast Florida,” said Ronald Blum, senior vice president of Toll Brothers’ Southeast Florida Division.  “As our third new community in Southeast Florida this year, Parkland Golf and Country Club demonstrates Toll Brothers’ exceptional financial strength and buying power.  We recognize the outstanding opportunities in this region and we are dedicated to building the finest communities in the area.”

Toll Brothers will offer single-family homes and villa-style homes at Parkland Golf and Country Club.  The company will offer four distinctive home collections ranging in size from approximately 1,800 square feet to 5,400 square feet and designed with the luxurious finishes and attention to detail for which Toll Brothers is known.  Parkland Golf and Country Club by Toll Brothers will range in price from the upper $400,000s to more than $1.5 million.  The company plans to build four new model homes and open for sales at Parkland in late January 2011.

Parkland Golf and Country Club is a private, gated golf and country club community situated on 790 acres and surrounded by natural beauty and spectacular amenities.  The centerpiece of the community is a unique Greg Norman 18-hole championship golf course with bonus practice hole.  Traditional in design, Norman’s Parkland course is reminiscent of Australia’s great Sandbelt links such as Royal Melbourne and Kingston Health.  The course design is focused on preserving a natural vegetative setting featuring three distinct zones of planting that reflect the area’s natural habitats – the cypress heads, the low hammock and the pine flatland.

Parkland Golf and Country Club also boasts a luxurious 43,000-square-foot Sports and Social Club.  The luxurious clubhouse has a pro shop, fitness center, spa and two restaurants.  Designed with an impressive community entrance with waterfalls, Parkland Golf and Country Club is punctuated by lush landscaping with water features, stone accents and a community walking trail that crosses a pond.

Parkland Golf and Country Club by Toll Brothers is conveniently located near highly rated schools, fine restaurants, upscale shopping and cultural venues.  Parkland is located between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton near Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike and a short drive away from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, major attractions and sporting venues.
