LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL. – Lakewood Ranch and leading proptech firm Cecilian Partners are thrilled to announce that the recently launched resident lifestyle platform, Customer Blueprint, has been awarded the PropTech Breakthrough Residential Platform of the Year. Lakewood Ranch, the nation’s top-selling multi-generational master planned community, was the first to launch and actively collaborate in the design of the groundbreaking platform.

Customer Blueprint elevates the resident experience by providing an all-in-one, integrated digital solution for community management and resident engagement. Lakewood Ranch was instrumental in shaping the platform and ensuring it met the needs of modern residents and community managers.

“Lakewood Ranch is expansive and offers a wide array of amenities and a vibrant events calendar,” said Sandy Shahinian, vice president of sales and marketing for Lakewood Ranch Communities. “Customer Blueprint has played a key role in making the vibrant lifestyle at Lakewood Ranch even more accessible, strengthening connections among residents and enriching the sense of community.”

As a centralized hub, the platform consolidates community management tasks, streamlines communications, and provides real-time insights into resident behavior, allowing communities like Lakewood Ranch to make data-driven decisions that continually improve the resident experience.

The PropTech Breakthrough award highlights Cecilian Partners’ dedication to propelling the future of community development technology and emphasizes Lakewood Ranch’s role as a pioneer in adopting and helping design this game-changing platform. Together, the companies are redefining what it means to foster a connected and thriving residential community.

M/I Homes proudly announced the successful sale of a Benefit Home in the Sweetwater at Lakewood Ranch, as part of an initiative to support cancer research through Pelotonia, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending cancer. This effort resulted in over $140,000 being raised for innovative cancer treatments and research.

An integral part of this effort was the contribution of over $12,000 from Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, Inc., the master-planned Lakewood Ranch community developer.

“Lakewood Ranch is proud to partner with builders who prioritize philanthropic causes,” said Sandy Shahinian, vice president of sales and marketing for Lakewood Ranch Communities. “We are thrilled to support this initiative and contribute to the proceeds that will be donated from the sale of this home.”

“M/I Homes is proud to support Pelotonia, an incredibly impactful and mission-driven organization dedicated to funding cancer research that is extending and saving lives,” said Greg Crawford, president of M/I Homes Sarasota division. “This was a community effort, and we are grateful to all of the people and companies that made this donation possible.”

This remarkable achievement was celebrated at an event on Aug. 26 when M/I Homes recognized the participating vendors and trade partners where Eric Olsavsky, vice president of community engagement and partnerships for Pelotonia, accepted the donation.

“We continue to be humbled by this generous, innovative program from M/I Homes to support Pelotonia’s mission of ending cancer through research, said Olsavsky. “The tremendous engagement of M/I Homes at the national level has helped to broaden awareness of Pelotonia, furthering our collective impact on a mission that affects us all.”

This initiative highlights the strengthened role of the Lakewood Ranch community in driving national progress toward ending cancer. For more information, visit www.mihomes.com/pelotonia.
