NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,
Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Landsea Homes Corporation (Nasdaq: LSEA) ("Landsea Homes"
or the "Company"), a publicly traded residential homebuilder,
announced today the purchase of more than 900 of the remaining
final lots in Anthem Texas, a 1,500-home master-planned community
located in Kyle. Landsea Homes
will begin the development of these lots upon the closing of this
purchase.
"We are very excited to bring Landsea Homes to Anthem Texas,"
said Greg Balen, Texas Division
President, Landsea Homes. "This is a great opportunity to
provide our best-in-class, High Performance homes to the new
homebuyers drawn to this wonderful new master planned community in
the greater Austin market.
Kyle is one of the fastest growing
cities in Texas, in one of the
fastest growing counties in the country, and we are very pleased to
add this expansion to our portfolio."
Anthem Texas is a 422-acre
master planned community located along FM 150 and I 35 at the
gateway to the Texas Hill Country. The community is
surrounded by an interconnected system of green belts and parks
located along the Mustang Branch, which flows into Onion Creek and
is home to Live Oak and Ashe
Juniper trees. At full buildout, Anthem will include
approximately 1,500 single-family homes, an elementary school,
amenity center and limited commercial space. The neighborhoods
connect with an extensive system of bike lines and sidewalks, and
more than 30% of the property is bordered by permanently protected
open space.
"The planning and development of more than 900 of the remaining
final lots in Anthem – 60% of the community – provides Landsea
Homes with a prime opportunity to demonstrate our ability to create
award-winning communities, as we have across the country," said
Balen. "Our strategic focus continues to be providing homes in
highly-desirable markets, and Kyle
fits that perfectly. With a robust local economy and
continued job growth, this area is attracting new residents and
providing the option to expand and accommodate their growing
families."
All homes at Anthem will be the first in Texas to be equipped with Landsea Homes' High
Performance Home features, including smart home automation
technology utilized by the Apple HomeKit™ environment. The smart
home automation features include an Apple® HomePod mini™, wireless
network Internet throughout the home, entry door locks, thermostat
control, garage door opener control, light dimmer switches,
doorbell camera pre-wire, and high-touch customer service with an
individualized training session. The homes will also contain
the REME HALO® air purifier, a state-of-the-art product that
mitigates indoor contaminants to keep residents safe and support
healthy living by reducing airborne particles such as dust, dander,
pollen and mold spores, killing up to 99% of bacteria, mold and
viruses.
Anthem is located in Hays
County, one of the fastest growing counties in the country,
according to U.S. Census data. From 2010-2020, the county
took the top spot nationally for U.S. counties with a population of
100,000 or more, with 53% growth. That data reflects a growing
trend throughout the Austin-San
Antonio corridor, with neighboring Comal County growing nearly 49% over the same
time period. Austin and
San Antonio are two of 14 cities
nationally that grew by more than 100,000 residents over the
decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Kyle has attracted new
residents by providing an affordable and convenient housing
alternative to living in Austin,
with lots of parks and open space and a good school system. Higher
education opportunities are close by with the University of Texas at Austin and Texas State University, as well as Austin Community College -Hays Campus.
Labeled the "Pie Capital of Texas", Kyle
has been home to the popular Texas Pie Company since 1986.
Every Labor Day weekend locals and visitors attend the "Pie
in the Sky Hot Air Balloon Festival" and enjoy pie-eating contests,
pie-baking competitions and live music.
The greater Austin market is
one of the fastest growing new home markets in the
country. Austin metro now ranks 29th among the
nation's largest metros, just behind Las
Vegas, Pittsburgh and
Sacramento, according to U.S.
Census data. Major companies like Tesla are moving their
corporate and regional headquarters to Central Texas, joining Apple, Charles Schwab, Dell, eBay, General Motors, Home
Depot, IBM, Kendra Scott, Oracle,
VISA, Whole Foods and Yeti. Strong employment opportunities
combined with the region's lower taxes, fewer business regulations
that are attracting companies looking to relocate and a relative
lower cost of living makes the region a magnet for new
homebuyers.
