Taylor Morrison introduces Tortuga

COURTESY RENDERING Tortuga Sonsette Twenty-eight garden home residences are completed and ready for sale at Tortuga by Taylor Morrison, a 46.9 acre community located off Gladiolus Drive in Fort Myers, just minutes from the area's beaches and shopping venues. The community will include 368 garden homes in two different neighborhoods featuring two-bedroom plus den and two-bedroom designs. Homes in Tortuga will be priced from the low- $100,000s.

Highlighted by Bermudian architectural influences, the Tortuga neighborhood encompasses 5 acres of lakes and more than 5 acres of preserves to reflect the carefree Southwest Florida lifestyle sought out by first-time homebuyers, busy professionals and part-time or seasonal residents.

Abaco, Tortuga's first neighborhood, offers 108 two-bedroom plus den residences including 28 completed homes located in one 12- and two eight-plex buildings. Of the 28 completed homes, one is a newly designed model, and another is the community's new sales center.

Garden homes in Abaco are available in two designs featuring two-bedroom plus den and two baths, offering 1,508 square feet of living area. Tile roofs, GE appliance packages and detached carports are included with each residence.

Carrying through the neighborhood's Bermudian flair, the Island Club will be the social hub of Tortuga, featuring resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, and meeting and gathering spaces for residents.

Taylor Morrison will host a grand opening event at Tortuga's Sales Center, located at 15041 Sandpiper Preserve Blvd., Fort Myers, later this month. For more information, visit the Web site at www.taylormorrison.com/tortuga.
