Onsite, Cresswind Lakewood Ranch is designed specifically for active adults with a clubhouse that serves as the social, fitness and fun center for the community. The Cresswind Club will be overseen by a full-time lifestyle director, and will feature a fitness center, yoga studio, art studio with ceramics, multi-purpose event room, billiards, and various social clubs. Outdoor amenities include pickleball & tennis courts, wide walkways, resort-style pool and spa, event plaza with food truck court, bocce, and outdoor social areas.

"Back in the day, the concept of a retirement community was a massive development and a lot of homes side by side with one big mega clubhouse," Manrique says. "For us, working with today's generation, and I don't use the R word, because no one is ever really retired, we are looking at where we can innovate in this space to create an environment that is comfortable, properly scaled and as engaging as it can be, offering fitness, nutrition and relationships, which are our three pillars for living better and longer." Manrique says 2020 will be an active year for Kolter, with the opening of Cresswind Georgia at Twin Lakes, near Hoschton, about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta. Also opening will be Cresswind Palm Beach in western Palm Beach County, Florida. Two more communities are on the drawing board—one in Charlotte, N.C., and the other in Central Florida.
