Lakewood Ranch has launched the new myLWR, the first integrated digital platform for resident engagement and community management. Developed by property technology firm Cecilian Partners, this groundbreaking tool underscores Lakewood Ranch’s commitment to creating an exceptional resident experience. 

“Lakewood Ranch is the fastest-selling multi-generational community in the nation because of their commitment to resident experience and innovation,” said Philip Worland, co-founder and chief product officer at Cecilian. “With this new platform, residents will have access to information and features that allow them to more easily engage with their complex community.” 

The myLWR app and website bring all the critical elements of the resident experience into one place. The app and website have the same user login credentials; no matter which way users engage with the platform, they have full access.  

Users can access everything from a full calendar of events to information on parks and community facilities. Other highlights of myLWR include connection with organizations in Lakewood Ranch, including clubs hosted by Community Activities; and opportunities to volunteer in the community through the Lakewood Ranch Community Foundation, Lakewood Ranch Community Activities, and the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance. 

When residents register with their home address, they are linked to their HOA contact information and provided specific utility service information. Residents also receive special pricing for Lakewood Ranch Community Activities’ signature events, like the Parks and Rec programs, and reservations for park spaces.  

Although some features were designed with residents in mind, users do not have to live in Lakewood Ranch to register for the app and website. 

“With MyLWR, we’re excited to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for our community,” said Keith Pandeloglou, president and CEO of Lakewood Ranch Community Activities. “In just a few short months, there are upwards of 4,000 residents and 1,500 nonresidents registered – our goal is every resident, whether you own a home here or rent! 

“MyLWR.com is a game-changer for our operations,” Pandeloglou continued. “We’re now able to make data-driven decisions to help continue to improve our community amenities and programs.” 

The launch of myLWR follows last year’s implementation of the interactive map tool at Lakewood Ranch’s Information Center at Main Street. 

The tool allows users to learn about the region, get the “big picture” of Lakewood Ranch and where community features like parks, schools, and town centers are located; explore the features that are important to them, such as golf, parks and trails, etc.; and narrow down prospective villages that match their search criteria. 

“We continually strive to evolve with our prospective and current residents, and that’s why we have introduced new technologies and tools,” said Sandy Shahinian, vice president of marketing for Lakewood Ranch Communities. “Our interactive map and the myLWR platform bring Lakewood Ranch to your fingertips, making it easier than ever to discover and experience all we have to offer.”
