Forestar Group Inc. ("Forestar") announced D.R. Horton as the first homebuilder in Star Farms, a multigenerational lifestyle community in Lakewood Ranch. D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, plans to build nearly 300 homes in Phase 1 of the resort ranch community. With 25 distinctive floorplans in Phase 1, D.R. Horton plans to feature single-family homes, townhomes and villas ranging from approximately 1,500 to over 3,100 square feet, showcasing its D.R. Horton, Emerald and Freedom Homes brands.  This will be the first community to offer the Modern homes series in the Sarasota area. As part of Phase 1, potential homebuyers will have the opportunity to tour nine models. Construction is currently underway with the projected opening in early 2022.

“Being part of this new community enables us to provide additional homebuying opportunities with an enhanced lifestyle in Lakewood Ranch," Tarak Patel, D.R. Horton Tampa South City Manager. "Our future homeowners can explore an array of single-family offerings, including our very popular Modern Series, paired villas, carefree one-story single-family homes and townhomes.  As the largest builder in the nation, D.R. Horton truly provides homes for every stage in life, which is something that will be resoundingly true at Star Farms.”
