    Taylor Morrison Bringing a Third Esplanade Resort Community to Lakewood Ranch

    Esplanade at Cammaray will feature 1,200 homes and resort amenities

    Sarasota, Fla., Dec. 16, 2025—America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Taylor Morrison closed on a land acquisition with plans to expand its successful resort lifestyle brand Esplanade in the Sarasota area and bring 1,200 new homes to Lakewood Ranch with Esplanade at Cammaray. Sales are anticipated to begin in early 2027.

    “Bringing a third Esplanade community to Lakewood Ranch is really special. This is where Esplanade began, and the lifestyle we have created here, rooted in holistic wellness, has proven to be desirable,” said Cammie Longenecker, Taylor Morrison’s President of Resort Lifestyle Brand. “It’s inspiring to reflect on the origin that our original Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch community started, and now we have more than 30+ Esplanade communities nationally and growing. These communities reimagine residential living through the lens of hospitality, wellness, and concierge-level services, and Esplanade at Cammaray will be a place to enjoy it all.”

    Esplanade at Cammaray is planned to be a gated community which will feature approximately 1,200 single-family homes, condos, and twin villas. Planned amenities include a resort-style pool and spa with towel service and poolside cabanas; Culinary Center with multiple dining experiences; Wellness Center; state-of-the-art fitness center; tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball courts; signature spa services; Bahama Bar; event lawn, and more. Throughout the community residents will be able to take advantage of a multi-use trail system in and around wetlands, which will connect to the existing trail system in the surrounding area. Another Taylor Morrison community with approximately 200 townhomes will also be located outside the gates on an adjacent land parcel.

    Located in Lakewood Ranch, the #1 multi-generational/all ages master planned community in the U.S., and just miles southeast of Taylor Morrison’s Esplanade at Azario community, Esplanade at Cammaray will offer close proximity to Lakewood Ranch’s newest boutique entertainment district Waterside Place, along with University Town Center, Center Point, Downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, local beaches, employment corridors, schools, and medical centers.

    “The Esplanade brand has been embraced by the Sarasota community, and we’re excited to build on that success with Esplanade at Cammaray,” said Andrew Sorensen, Taylor Morrison’s Sarasota Division President. “With a prime location in the final phase of Lakewood Ranch, residents can look forward to thoughtfully designed homes, exciting resort-style amenities, and curated wellness experiences that make every day feel like a vacation. Amenities will be similar to our Esplanade at Azario community, minus golf.”

    “With Esplanade at Cammaray, Taylor Morrison continues to build on their concept that began here—innovating with each community and reinforcing a partnership that has played a key role in Lakewood Ranch’s success,” said Laura Cole, Senior Vice President of Lakewood Ranch Communities.

    Taylor Morrison’s Esplanade brand has more than 30 communities across the country and plans for continued growth, most recently launching in markets including Las Vegas, Nevada; Charlotte, North Carolina; St Marys, Georgia; Temecula, California; and Sacramento, California.
