Buyers invited to share in builder's success

10/7/2011

Under the steadfast leadership of Don Wilford, president of ICI Homes' North Florida division, the homebuilder is in the midst of preparing itself for a turnaround in sales of new homes. With more than 25 years of success in building custom homes, Wilford is certain that the market has bottomed out, citing the company's month-to-month increases in new orders of custom homes since January. With that core belief, the division has moved from a stability mode to a growth mode and is in the process of regenerating several of its flagship communities, as well as moving forward with plans to open new phases in its active communities.

Amelia National Golf & Country Club: Earlier this year, ICI turned its focus to this well-regarded community in Fernandina Beach. A gated community of 737 homes, the community is creatively designed with breath-taking views of the Tom Fazio golf course, lakes and natural preserves. Homes in Amelia National range from three to six bedrooms, include three-car garages and are priced from the mid-$300,000s to more than $500,000. For a limited time, savvy customers can take advantage of ICI's $50,000 Flex Cash incentive. North Hampton: Marketed from the Amelia National sales center, ICI owns the last remaining homesites in the North Hampton community. Ranging in size from 65- to 100-feet wide and with terrific views of the golf course, conservation areas and salt marshes, homes in North Hampton start in the high $100,000s. The Arnold Palmer golf course community is a proven choice for families who want the atmosphere of a country club with amenities designed for all ages.

Tidewater: The second community under revival is Tidewater, located in the north Jacksonville area, with convenient access to the airport, River City Marketplace and downtown. This gated community offers one of the best values in the area. Featuring estate-sized homesites that range from 80 to 100 feet in width, a magnificent amenity center and stunning views from every back yard, this community is hard to beat. Award-winning plans offer three to five bedrooms and are priced from the high $100,000s to more than $400,000. Highland Glen: ICI's best-selling community, Highland Glen is opening its next and best phase. Just minutes from the beach, homes in this gated neighborhood will enjoy the unrestricted freedom of an oversized homesite with spectacular views of lakes and preserves. With only 30 sites left, interested parties need to act fast. Prices range from the low $300,000s to more than $500,000 with plans that offer three to five bedrooms.

Palermo: ICI's Tuscan-themed community, Palermo continues to attract homebuyers in the $400,000 to $600,000 price range. Located just minutes from the beach, this gated community offers a unique look for the Northeast Florida homeowner. Accented with tile roofs, wrought iron accents and a warm Mediterranean color palette, these homes radiate a southern European lifestyle. Magnolia Preserve, Plantation Grove, St. Johns Forest: In St. Johns County, ICI has three successful communities: Magnolia Preserve and Plantation Grove in Julington Creek and St. Johns Forest on the County Road 210 corridor. These communities enjoy the benefits of the highest-rated schools in the state and are convenient to everything. Prices range from the low $200,000s to more than $600,000 for three- to five-bedroom homes.

And, if this is not reason enough to buy now, remember that ICI Homes is a custom builder that can make any change desired, and does not require its buyers to obtain any construction-to-permanent financing. Imagine, the home of your dreams located in a magnificent community for an affordable price.
