“Del Webb has been building active adult communities for almost
60 years, but this is the first time we've introduced the brand’s
legendary lifestyle to the state of Minnesota,” said Jamie Tharp,
Minnesota division president for PulteGroup, Del Webb’s parent
company. “We have seen tremendous demand to open a Del Webb
community in the market, with buyers expressing a great affinity
for the brand after visiting siblings and friends that live in our
communities in other locations.
“Roughly 70 percent of prospective buyers to date have come from
within the Greater Minneapolis/St. Paul market, people who want to
enjoy an active retirement without having to move away from family
and the familiarity of the community where they've spent much of
their lives. However, we have also had interest from neighboring
Midwestern states, with buyers citing their desire to be close to
children and grandchildren,” said Tharp.
“Nearly 1,000 people attended information sessions earlier this
summer, and sales activity is strong, with 29 sales contracts
signed since the first release of 31 homesites on July 31,” said
Shannon Huber, Minnesota division sales director for PulteGroup,
“We are attracting both GenX couples and young baby boomers, with
about 50 percent of buyers still in the workforce. It’s clear they
want to take full advantage of all the amenities, programs and
activities a Del Webb community has to offer for this stage of
life."
Offering 398 homesites, Bellwether by Del Webb features 13
consumer-inspired home designs that fit the needs of the 55+ buyer,
with an emphasis on livability and comfort. Three design
collections provide a variety of options, perfect for daily living
and entertaining. The single-story floor plans range from
1,222-1,953+ square feet with 2-4 bedrooms, 1.5-3 baths, and 2-3
car garages. Home designs feature spacious open living area with
room for entertaining and options such as two-story living with
loft space, laundry room next to the owner’s suite and fixed attic
staircases. Pricing starts in the low $300s.
The state-of-the-art 11,500-square-foot Prairie Club Amenity
Center will serve as the hub for community activity and is expected
to open in summer of 2020. It will feature indoor and outdoor
pools, outdoor TV lounge, community lawn and fire pit, outdoor tiki
bar/hut, 6 pickleball courts, 2 bocce ball courts, a fitness
center, lounge, fireplace, craft room, and nearly two miles of
walking trails, among other amenities. Additionally, a full-time
lifestyle director will be on-site to organize social events and
clubs for residents who want to fully embrace the Del Webb active
adult lifestyle.
Visitors to the grand opening on Saturday, August 24 will be
able to learn more about the community, tour three professionally
decorated model homes and homesites, and enjoy light refreshments
from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Bellwether by Del Webb is located at 19264 101st Place,
Corcoran, Minnesota 55340. The community is easily accessible to
