CCMC is pleased to announce that it will be providing pre-development consulting services to Kitson & Partners for its new master-planned community in Southwest Florida named Babcock Ranch. The 18,000-acre project will eventually include 19,500 households, 6,000,000 square feet of commercial space, plus a 75 mega-watt solar facility and smart grid technology to ensure that Babcock Ranch generates more clean and renewable energy than it consumes. Our consulting services will include budget forecasting, community governance review, plus lifestyle amenity and programming recommendations. “CCMC is thrilled to be invited into this revolutionary project,” explains division president Todd Davidson. “Babcock Ranch is sure to become the leading voice in community-based sustainable energy. Our role will be to further increase the success of this project by adding our own expertise in sustainable operations and lifestyle practices.”
Destined to become America’s most walkable, hikeable and bikeable town, Babcock Ranch will feature a network of neighborhoods and public resources linked by trails, parks and greenways. Fifty percent of the land will be dedicated to greenways, parks and lakes. The development team envisions a place where children can bike to school, adults can walk to work, and families can shop within an easy stroll from their homes. Outdoor recreation and gathering places will abound. A wide spectrum of housing products and commercial opportunities, all featuring environmentally-friendly designs and technology, will be available. Adjacent to the 73,000-acre Babcock Preserve, this property is just 20 minutes northeast of Fort Myers, with easy access to the airport, beaches and cultural attractions.
