Fourteen new models will be open for the upcoming winter sales season, said Anthony Lucas, vice president of sales for Paseo,.

"The new Paseo model center is conveniently located adjacent to our onsite sales center," said Lucas. "Nine new flats and townhome models will be located in immediately north of the sales center and four beautiful new casita models are located directly east. In addition, a new single-family home model is under construction, bringing the total number of furnished models open this season to 15."

A successful year of sales at Paseo prompted the decision to invest in a new model center.

"Through August, we had more than 100 new homes sales, several of which were our furnished models," said Claudine Léger-Wetzel, vice president of sales and marketing for Stock Development. "More than 3,500 people have visited Paseo's models and the Village Center Amenities so far this year and we anticipate similar traffic next year so we decided to build a brand new model center complex to be able to fully showcase our unique floorplans."

Léger-Wetzel added that Paseo has received a lot of attention in 2008, having won Community of the Year from the Building Industry Association for the second year in a row, as well as 21 Pinnacle Awards for product design, Clubhouse of the Year and Developer of the Year honors.

Flats and town homes, including twoand three-story designs, are available in 14 floor plans with two, three and four bedrooms and two or three baths. These homes range from 1,227 to 2,084 square feet under air and include one- and twocar garages. The unique orientation of the homes provide a safe place for children to play and it creates a sense of community as neighbors congregate on their porches.

Paseo also offers six casita floor plans ranging from 1,531 to 2,080 square feet under air. Each casita features two or three bedrooms, 2½ or three baths and two floors of living. The casita blends the ease and luxury of maintenance free living with the privacy of a single-family home in residences that are built around a common driveway.

Four neighborhoods of single-story, two-story and courtyard-style singlefamily homes are available. Twentynine distinct floor plans range from 1,649 to just over 3,000 square feet under air plus attached two-car garages. Luxurious pool and spa upgrades are available and all four neighborhoods feature sweeping views of the Six Mile Cypress Slough and surrounding lakes.

The Village Center amenities include a full-service concierge, a bistro, an ice cream parlor, a pub, an Internet café, a coffee shop, a 4,000-square-foot fitness center, a business center and library, as well as spa services and a 90-seat theatre with a projection room and comfortable elevated seating.

The free-form pool includes elaborate waterfalls and rockscapes, as well as a poolside gazebo serving refreshments. Adjacent to the main pool is a large spa, a fitness-oriented lap pool and a children's water playground. The richly landscaped sundeck offers custom-designed furnishings and a large semi-circle of seven authentic Old Florida chickee huts to provide shade.

The Sports Center includes six lighted, HydroGrid tennis courts, a fishing pier, four bocce ball courts and a basketball court.
