Planned to begin construction in early May, the resort is aiming to complete its second phase by 2012 at an estimated cost of $8.2 million. Homes at the community are priced between the $200s to $400s, ranging from 1,518 square feet to 2,727 square feet. At full build out, the entire community is planning to have 728 homes, with the third phase start contingent upon the Phase II completion.

The second phase is a completion of the work started by the original developer Levitt & Sons who filed for bankruptcy protection in the fall of 2007. Soleil was purchased out of bankruptcy in December 2008. The third phase will be more expensive as no preparatory work has been done.

The resort is for adults 55 and older and includes a 28,000-square-foot clubhouse with an indoor, heated pool; billiards parlor, kitchen, fitness center, aerobics studio, library, two card rooms, an arts and crafts studio, a performing arts center, amphitheater; outdoor pool, six tennis courts, a greenhouse and nearby golf courses.
