BEAUMONT, Calif., July 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altis, an innovative new 55+ lifestyle community development in Beaumont, CA, is approaching its highly anticipated Fall grand opening, and developer Pardee Homes Inland Empire has announced that construction of the community’s innovatively designed suite of model homes is underway. Twelve model homes from four unique collections will showcase Pardee’s vision for delivering a new paradigm in 55+ residential design - one that speaks to today’s sophisticated 55+ buyer through thoughtful, modern and environmentally friendly design. When completed, Altis will be comprised of 704 homes with anticipated pricing to start from the mid 400s.
“Today’s 55+ buyers are nothing like they were a generation ago, and their tastes are moving the market in new and exciting directions,” said Mike Taylor, Division President of Pardee Homes Inland Empire. “According to research from John Burns Real Estate Consulting, 53 % of buyers who are between 55 and 65 years of age struggle to find the perfect home to suit their needs and desires at this still active stage in their lives. It is important to us that Altis reflect what buyers desire – and what inspires them to move - so we used our experience and research to help inform us of what these features and amenities should be. In addition to single-level living and open floorplans, we’ve gone the extra mile at Altis to appeal to the sophistication of consumers and their appreciation of exceptional design, style and easy effortless living. Our new century modern homes and community design are a refreshing departure from the typical 55+ communities we’ve historically seen in Southern California.”
Altis buyers will be able to choose from four distinct home collections: Vita, Avid, Mira and Elan. Ranging from 1,473 to 3,094 square feet, the single-story homes are offered with two to three bedrooms, two to three and a half baths, two-bay garages, and storage (depending on the collection). One of the Elan floor plans also comes with an optional second floor as a GenSmart Suite, Pardee Homes’ option for separate, complete living spaces for buyers looking for more versatility in their home accommodations.
By incorporating the LivingSmart® program into Altis, Pardee will ensure that every home will include modern and energy-efficient features. The comprehensive program seamlessly blends the design, development, construction and operation of high-performing homes to provide healthier, more comfortable living environments with lower operating costs. LivingSmart® includes five specific areas of advancement: HealthSmart®, EnergySmart™, EarthSmart®, WaterSmart® and HomeSmart™. Some examples include energy-efficient heating systems, low-VOC interior paint, sustainable building materials, energy-efficient appliances and in-home WiFi Smart technology options.
The homes at Altis are a complement to the 16,000-square-foot residents’ club, The VuePoint—the community’s hub of social activity that will serve as an extension of residents’ homes and bring people together. From its exceptional new century modern design to its unparalleled amenities, the thoughtfully designed community-centric residents’ club was created with an eye for the future, with modern and diverse architecture. The VuePoint at Altis, which will be open when first residents move in, celebrates the best in Southern California outdoor living that is epitomized by the popular California ranch house, and reflects Pardee’s vision for this one-of-a-kind community.
Outdoor amenities include a 4,300-square-foot resort-style pool with a solar-integrated shade structure and water features; a gathering and lounge area that features a kitchen, BBQ bars, and islands with seating and sinks; a fire pit terrace; a 1,200-square-foot Butterfly Shade Structure with an integrated sound system; a 12,000-square-foot event lawn looking toward the San Gorgonio Mountain Range; an extensive, connected, and experiential trail system; four pickleball courts; and an elevated spa terrace overlooking the pool. Interior amenities include a great room centered around everything one needs to enjoy impromptu gatherings or large community parties, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center, a Movement Studio (with movable walls to the outside) and flexible art and activity rooms with views of the mountains.
“Building an inspiring 55+ community means thoughtful design of both the home and the community where our buyers will enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle,” said Taylor. “Modern designs and innovative approaches to shared amenities are just the start. It is the connections made and experiences shared by those who will reside in this one-of-a-kind community that will ultimately define life at Altis.”
To start making those connections, Pardee Homes has initiated a number of group meetups with potential Altis homeowners so they can start to meet and get to know each other. “The meetups have been a fun and engaging way for our team to connect with people on our interest list, which is more than 2,000 people strong and continuing to grow. We look forward to the grand opening of Altis this fall when we can officially start selling homes that will deliver a new lifestyle community to a vibrant and sophisticated 55+ buyer,” said Taylor.
