Taylor Morrison Hosted a Ground-Breaking Ceremony for Esplanade by Siesta Key

SARASOTA, FL, February 22, 2013

Taylor Morrison recently held a ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the construction of its newest Sarasota community - Esplanade by Siesta Key. On hand to toss the ceremonial dirt were Steve Kempton, Cammie Longenecker, Derek Andruss, Mike Mansfield and Michelle Campbell from Taylor Morrison's West Florida Division.

Located in the Gulf Gate area just two miles from its famous namesake beach, Esplanade by Siesta Key is the city's only active lifestyle community with a proposed wide range of luxurious amenities and a full-time Lifestyle Director to plan special events and activities for residents. With approximately 217 home sites on 77 acres, Esplanade by Siesta Key expects to bring new-home construction to an area where it is not commonly found. Homes will feature California Tuscan architecture and lush tropical landscaping, with lawn care and exterior home maintenance included to give residents more leisure time to enjoy views of protected preserves and lakes.

Esplanade by Siesta Key has already generated considerable interest in the local community because of its long list of enviable amenities including a proposed Lifestyle Director. The centerpiece of the community will be a beautiful clubhouse with a fitness center, gathering room, catering kitchen, and library. Just outside is expected to include a heated lagoon-style pool and spa, an outdoor barbecue space pet park and a sport court. Another notable feature of Esplanade is its desirable location, with close proximity to the village of Siesta Key along with the best of the area's shopping, dining and cultural attractions.
