Marking its first foray into the Gainesville, GA housing market, David Weekley Homes announced today that its active adult community, Lanier Landing, will open to the public on Saturday, June 13. Set at the edge of Lake Lanier, the lakeside community spans 120 acres and will soon offer 229 homes with a choice of 21 floor plans that provide an ideal blend of livability and luxury. Two of those floor plans – The Gatwick and The Taft – are featured in professionally designed model homes that prospective Homeowners can tour daily following the Grand Opening event.
“It’s been a year in the making since we first closed on this beautiful parcel of land along the shoreline of Lake Lanier,” said Adam Cornett, Atlanta Division President for David Weekley Homes. “To witness the transformation all these months later has been nothing short of incredible. And there are even more exciting changes underway. In keeping with our Encore by David Weekley Homes core principle to build homes and communities thoughtfully designed for active adults, Lanier Landing will be lifestyle-driven and connection-centric. Construction will soon begin on our planned amenities, which include a resort-style clubhouse with a gym and aerobics studio, a pool, pickleball courts, boat storage, and more. Between the lake and the amenities, every day will feel like a vacation at Lanier Landing.”
Once open, Cornett invites homebuyers to tour the community’s two new model homes for design inspiration and to gain insights into potential layouts for their future home at Lanier Landing. Merchandised by the professional design team at Kathy Andrews Interiors, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Gatwick model home boasts a casual lake house aesthetic with serene tones of blue, brown, and gray set against a neutral backdrop. Each living space feels elevated and luxurious, without being pretentious. One room is merchandised to bring the fun as a hobby/game room. Representing a completely different vibe and set on a basement, the 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Taft model home features a contemporary ambiance with its neutral color scheme contrasted against rich shades of black and tobacco with pops of gold throughout. Boasting the feel of a speakeasy pool hall, the main living space in the finished basement is merchandised as a game room/parlor with a wet bar, while the fifth bedroom serves as a home gym. To make their own new home everything they imagined, Homeowners will benefit from a high level of customization across their indoor and outdoor living spaces between flexible rooms, available options, and Design Center selections.
Nearly as alluring as the homes and amenities at Lanier Landing is the area where the 55+ community is located. In addition to its position near the waters of Lake Lanier and all the adventure it offers, the community is convenient to historic Downtown Gainesville and all it has to offer. Highly appealing to active adult homebuyers, the iconic Gainesville Square boasts a terrific chef-driven food scene, a collection of unique boutiques, and a jam-packed calendar of concerts and events at The Hall at Bourbon Brothers. On the wellness front, an impressive collection of parks, golf courses, and the award-winning Northeast Georgia Medical Center lend undeniable attraction.
