David Weekley Homes Launches Encore Homes for 55+ Buyers in Anthem

Denver, CO (July 14, 2017): David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held builder, is excited to announce its entrance into 55+ active adult living with Encore by David Weekley Homes in Broomfield. Located north of Denver in the master-planned community of Anthem by Newland Communities, the age-qualified Encore at Anthem Ranch will offer 34 homesites featuring thoughtfully-designed, low-maintenance single-story homes.

“We’re very excited to again partner with Newland Communities to build our Encore by David Weekley homes designed exclusively for 55+ active adults in the established active adult community of Anthem Ranch,” said Scott Sinelli, division president for David Weekley Homes. “This is the last section of land within Anthem Ranch and we feel our Encore brand is perfect for this popular community. The prime location close to both Denver and Boulder appeals to this demographic, and the many parks, trails and community amenities, as well as the already-established 55+ community in the area, offer plenty of opportunities to stay active.”

Encore is the first age-qualified community for the home builder in both Denver and Broomfield, but Weekley Homes and Newland Communities previously partnered up for Encore at FishHawk Ranch in Tampa, FL, which opened in 2016, and Encore at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, NC, which launched earlier this year.

“Newland is excited to introduce Encore by David Weekley Homes for the final homesites in age-qualified Anthem Ranch as the first low-maintenance opportunity in the community,” said Sandi Thomas, vice president and general manager of Newland Communities Denver Division. “Demand has been strong for low-maintenance homes, and we look forward to bringing that opportunity to Anthem.”

Homes in Encore at Anthem Ranch will feature a lifestyle-driven approach to home design, with ample customization options. These low-maintenance homes are designed to complement the active and social lifestyles that 55+ buyers are looking for, with large, open living spaces and expanded outdoor living areas ideal for entertaining.

“Baby Boomers have more economic flexibility than younger buyers, and their home preferences are changing dramatically,” Sinelli said. “As work pressures ease and children grow up and move on, there is a newfound sense of freedom. Along with amenities and programming that support an active lifestyle, Boomers want to reside near urban locations, restaurants and retail, cultural attractions and family.”

Encore residents will have access to an exclusive, 32,000-square-foot recreation center, Aspen Lodge, which features fitness classes, an indoor track, a pool, tennis, pickle ball and bocce ball courts and more. The state-of-the-art facility also offers more than 50 clubs to join, providing residents ample opportunity to stay socially active.
