Cresswind’s development theme springs from three main elements: Nutrition, Fitness, and Relationships. Its plans call for a clubhouse with a demonstration kitchen, fitness center, yoga studio, ballroom, art studio, billiards, and various social clubs. The community will also feature outdoor facilities including tennis and pickleball courts, resort-style pool and spa, bocce courts, walking trails, event lawn, and outdoor social areas.
Cresswind Lakewood Ranch is geared for a total of 648 single-story homes with two-bedroom to four-bedroom designs. Kolter’s Cresswind home concepts provides a wide range of personalized and structural options including expanded outdoor living areas.
