"Babcock Ranch is one of the most highly-sought-after master-planned communities in Southwest Florida and we are delighted to partner with Babcock Ranch to create an unparalleled lifestyle," said David Meyers, southwest Florida director of operations for Lennar. "The golf course and resort-style amenities will combine Babcock Ranch's vision with Lennar's expertise in creating an upscale, highly-amenitized lifestyle – all while complementing the existing architecture and green building designs that the master-planned community has become known for."

Residents will enjoy an array of amenities including an 18-hole golf course designed by Gordon Lewis, a resort-style pool with waterfall, a state-of the-art fitness center with sauna, a tennis center and a community clubhouse that embodies a country coastal design aesthetic.

Babcock National will feature more than 18 home designs to choose from. The community will offer a mix of multi-family and single-family homes including terrace condominiums, veranda condominiums, luxury coach homes, executive homes and estate-style designs. All of the floor plans will incorporate innovative design details and Lennar's signature Everything's Included® program which provides customers with a high level of standard features already included in the price of the homes. Features include quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer-style cabinetry and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ home designs. Pricing starts in the $200,000s.

Lennar previously introduced Trail's Edge within Babcock Ranch. Trail's Edge offers distinctive villa, executive and manor homes with one- and two-story designs and two- and three-car garages.
