• Carolina  Preserve at Amberly - The amenity rich community opened up just  last Spring and has sold over 400 homes with over 200 closed. Clients that  I’ve taken to this community are really excited about the sense of community.  The club house will be the central gathering place for the neighborhood and is  scheduled to open in late November. When complete, the community will have  about 1,200 homes. A Del Webb community, they are now pre-selling for delivery  in October 2008.
• Searstone  - This community is located in the heart of Cary across the street from  my office!! This neighborhood will offer the New Urbanist lifestyle that allows  residents to be able to walk to restaurants, shopping, health care, and more.  The community is scheduled to be completed between late 2009 and 2010.
• Glenaire - This  retirement community is well established and offers independent living, assisted  living, and skilled nursing to its residents. This facility offers a more  traditional retirement arrangement. However, Gleanaire offers lots of  activities and outings for its residents and even has an activities director  onsite.

As many of you know I’ve been a specialist in Active 55+ communities for several years now and enjoy the benefits of working with the seniors moving here because we live in such a great area and also to be closer to family members that have gotten jobs here and the parents have followed.

As a Senior Residential Estate Specialist (SRES®) and I am constantly keeping abreast of the current developments and future  developments in the area.  As we all know the Del Webb® Community in Cary has been a tremendous success and is anticipated to finish out well before the Charlotte Del Webb Community that launched at the same time at Carolina Preserve™ in Cary in 2006.   That said, Pulte Homes is making plans to build another massive community under its Del Webb®  brand.

So what will the new Del Webb® community called Carolina Arbors™ in Durham have to offer?

This is great news.  The new Carolina Arbors™ in Durham will offer the same great floorplans that have been offered at Carolina Preserve™ that have been so popular with buyers.   Other features include:

• Low-maintenance living—yard maintenance included in homeowner’s dues.
• Clubhouse will feature an onsite lifestyle-director, an indoor pool, fitness center, ballrooms, billiard rooms, tennis courts, bocce courts, putting greens, walking trails and MORE!
• 1.5 miles to Brier Creek, which offers shopping, dining and golfing.
• Close to Duke, UNC, and Wake Med Hospitals.
• Heart of the Triangle! Convenient to RDU International Airport, boating, biking, hiking, fishing, continuing education, cultural events, plays shows, collegiate sports and NHL.

The floor plans are still being developed. However, there will be four collections of homes to choose from including the Pinehurst, Hatteras, Umstead, and Biltmore Collections. Anticipated closings in the Spring of 2013.

Based on the similar sized Carolina Preserve™ metrics at 380 Acres, the north Brier Creek community could easily have more than 1,200 homes at buildout.

What is the timeframe for development?

Pulte homes anticipates a rollout in Q32012.

Where will the community be located in Durham?

The location is central to all parts of Raleigh, Durham, Brier Creek, and Chapel Hill.
