GL Homes has strategically expanded its luxury 55+ residential offerings with the introduction of four new Valencia-branded communities across Florida, signaling continued growth in the active adult housing market. These new developments—Valencia Harbor, Valencia Ridge, Valencia Del Mar, and Valencia Sky—represent a comprehensive approach to senior living that emphasizes both comfort and lifestyle.
Each community offers unique attributes designed to appeal to discerning 55+ homebuyers seeking more than traditional retirement housing. Valencia Harbor in Fort Myers provides single-family homes starting in the mid-$300,000s, complemented by an expansive clubhouse and proximity to Gulf Coast beaches. Meanwhile, Valencia Ridge in Wesley Chapel targets buyers desiring a balance between tranquil living and urban accessibility, featuring one-story homes and on-site wellness facilities.
The Boynton Beach-based Valencia Del Mar targets high-net-worth individuals with spacious floor plans and a massive 43,000-square-foot clubhouse, while Valencia Sky near Naples focuses on sophisticated, low-maintenance living with resort-style amenities. These developments reflect a nuanced understanding of evolving senior lifestyle preferences, moving beyond traditional retirement community models.
Led by Itzhak Ezratti and his son Misha, GL Homes continues to demonstrate strategic vision in Florida's residential real estate market. The company's approach goes beyond construction, emphasizing community creation and lifestyle enhancement for 55+ homeowners. By offering diverse locations, sophisticated designs, and comprehensive amenities, GL Homes is responding to growing demand for age-targeted housing that prioritizes active, engaging living environments.
The expansion represents more than a real estate strategy; it signals a broader trend in senior housing that values independence, wellness, and social connectivity. As baby boomers continue to retire, these communities offer tailored living solutions that challenge traditional perceptions of retirement housing.
With these four new communities, GL Homes reinforces its position as a leader in Florida's 55+ residential market, showcasing a commitment to innovative design, strategic location selection, and lifestyle-focused development.
