An active adult oasis of unbelievable size and scope is emerging from the metro Atlanta landscape. Pulte Homes, the nation’s leading builder of active adult communities with its Del Webb brand, broke ground Monday on Sun City Peachtree in Spalding County, a community designed to treat active adults like royalty.

Located just south of downtown Atlanta, the development is the largest master-planned community in Atlanta with nearly 3,400 homes on 1,726 acres.

Sun City Peachtree will be a lifestyle destination community with countless amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis complex, a 35,000+ sq. ft. amenity center and state-of-the-art recreational buildings. In keeping with Del Webb’s commitment to the environment, nearly 50 percent of the community will be designated natural areas, open space, parks and recreation areas. Like neighboring Peachtree City, golf carts will be an integral part of transportation within the community. The concept has proven successful across the country in cities that include Las Vegas, Phoenix, Chicago, and Hilton Head.

In the grand spirit of Del Webb himself, Georgia Representative David Knight, along with local elected officials, joined Pulte Homes executives Dave Schreiner, Vice President of Active Adult Business Development for Pulte Homes; and Alicia MacPhee, Georgia South Division President for Pulte Homes, for a groundbreaking like no other. Rather than opting for the more traditional shovel-style groundbreaking, officials operated a fleet of backhoes to move land, making the use of more traditional shovels seem like child’s play.

“This groundbreaking is symbolic of the grand plans for Sun City Peachtree,” said Alicia MacPhee. “It will be a baby boomer utopia unlike anything in Georgia. This will be a lifestyle-driven community where aging with attitude will be the community mantra.”

In typical Del Webb fashion, Sun City Peachtree will be a lifestyle destination community with resort-style amenities.

The development isn’t just about the toys, however. A key component of each Del Webb community is the facilitated active lifestyle. Sun City Peachtree will employ an on-site Lifestyle Director and health and fitness professionals to accommodate resident-driven interests in health, fitness, continuing education, local philanthropy and any number of hobbies and special interests.

While amenities and lush landscapes will be the most visible differentiators for Sun City Peachtree, a variety of housing options to fit just about any active adult lifestyle will be abundant. Home collections that range from single-family to attached villas will be priced from the low $200’s to the high $300’s and will range in size from approximately 1,100 to 2,600+ square feet.

“Whether it is for the amenities, location, home styles and floor plans or the opportunity to become part of an engaging community of like-minded, active residents, many people will find Sun City Peachtree to be the perfect setting to embark on the best years of their lives,” explains MacPhee.

Regardless of which home style and floor plan home buyers select, Sun City Peachtree residents will live like royalty in a resort-style environment built exclusively for the needs and desires of active adults. From swimming and golf to planned activities and social groups, the adults who choose to make

Sun City Peachtree their home will find a metro Atlanta oasis that fits their active lifestyle.

The grand opening for Sun City Peachtree is expected to take place in early 2007.

Pulte Homes had initially approached Fayette County about building a community in the center of the county, but were rebuffed by the Fayette County Commission.
