Warren W. Smith
Vice President of Sales

The sales success at Toscana continues with 17 sales in 2015! Those 17 sales include nine resale homes (eight listed by the Toscana Sales Center) and eight new homes.

The Design Center and Construction team are working hard with 20 homes under construction and several more starting in the next few months. It is exciting to see the continued growth of the community with homes starting on the new homesites on Via Pisa. With each new day, the final holes of golf are taking shape and showcasing spectacular golf, views and scenery! Check out this video below for an insider's view of the last Jack Nicklaus site visit in December 2014.

New Home Realtor Commission Program
We have a great program in place to reward Realtors for selling new to-be-built homes: you will be paid a 3% commission on the price of the homesite and the base price of the home at the homesite closing, NOT at the end of construction. Please contact me or one of our Sales Executives for more information. Click here to read more about our Broker Program and to register your clients online.

We have been busy planning the remaining Club facilities and are excited to share our plans with you. The new facilities outlined in yellow will include:

• Casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, lounge, display kitchen, mult-purpose room and coffee/juice bar
• Pool, kiddie pool and trellis
• Two additional tennis courts
• Sports Club pavilion for group exercise classes
• Future banquet facility
• Golf teaching facility (not shown on plan)

These new facilities will complement the already completed facilities including Il Forno and Wine Cellar, Golf Shop, Ladies' and Men's Locker Rooms, Spa Bella Vita, Sports and Tennis Club and the 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf.

After a series of 20 Focus Groups with Members and the Town Hall Meeting, we have received overwhelming support from the Members. We have just sent out a similar package to the Members along with a ballot and anticipate that the new plan will be approved.
