Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association Recognizes Luxury Golf Community, Elite Stable of Builders along Florida’s Gulf Coast
(SARASOTA, Fla.) – The Concession Residences – Southwest Florida Gulf Coast’s premier, 1,200-acre, low-density luxury enclave – took home the “Best Development Award” for communities with 201 to 500 homesites at the Parade of Homes.
A CORE Development project, The Concession also won “Best Entranceway” and “Best Amenities,” further validating its unsurpassed lifestyle offerings. The Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association also bestowed a cadre of awards upon its stable of elite builders in a number of categories including:
• John Cannon Homes (The Avianna) – Best Overall, Best Architectural Detail and Best Master Suite
• Lee Wetherington Homes (Windsong) – Best Overall and Future Model
• Neal Signature Homes (Dominica II) – Best Curb Appeal and Kitchen
• Anchor Builders (Parkhurst) – Best Kitchen and Green Homes Custom One-of-a-Kind
• Johnson Homes of SW Florida (Birkdale) – Best Kitchen and Architectural Detail (tie)
• Arthur Rutenberg (The Santa Monica) – Best Curb Appeal, Kitchen, Master Suite, Floor Plan and Architectural Detail and Overall Winner
The Parade of Homes coincided with the community’s exciting winter promotion running through March 15. Buyers receive a $50,000 incentive package when purchasing one of a select group of homesites. The Concession is 75% sold out, and community representatives anticipate a limited supply of lots by the end of the year.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award from the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association, and proud to work with a group of craftsman-builders who take so much pride in their products and services,” says Mark Bruce, Director of Sales at The Concession Real Estate Company. “We all look forward to maintaining this level of excellence for years to come.”
Considered one of the most desirable, gated-community addresses in South Florida, The Concession offers one-half to full acre homesites, with preserve and lake views, private roads and no CDD fees. Bucking the stereotypical profile of a luxury golf community “buyer,” The Concession attracts new residents from across multiple generations.
Families are drawn to the vibrant Sarasota / Bradenton metropolitan area, corporate office relocations to nearby Lakewood Ranch, and award-winning schools. Baby Boomers bask in the area’s arts and entertainment options, year-round sunshine and warm weather, and proximity to three international airports (Sarasota-Bradenton, Tampa and Orlando) for convenient travel.

About The Concession Residences
Set amid towering pines and sprawling live oaks minutes from Florida’s Gulf Coast and the arts and cultural hub of Sarasota, The Concession is a private, gated community featuring 236 pristine estate home sites. Its centerpiece is the nationally-ranked Concession Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course designed in association with Tony Jacklin, and named for the famous putt Nicklaus conceded to his European counterpart in the 1969 Ryder Cup, resulting in the first tie in Ryder Cup history.
Starting at $1 million, home and lots are accented by sparkling lakeside vistas, peaceful golf course views and wooded preserves. Four exclusive neighborhoods create distinct residential enclaves to suit any lifestyle. Birkdale includes both one-acre and half-acre lots, highlighted by Jack Nicklaus Cove fronting the golf course. Nicklaus Manor is a private gated village of 33 half-acre home sites accented by brick-paved streets, lush landscape and classical architecture. Lindrick comprises three streets housing lots ranging from one to almost two acres, with generous, 50-foot setbacks. Parkstone Estates is a private enclave for one acre plus home sites for high end luxury residences.
A CORE Development Incorporated project, The Concession Residences set the bar for low density, luxurious estate living in the burgeoning Lakewood Ranch corridor. Lakewood Ranch – covering more than 17,500 acres – is ranked among the top 10 master-planned communities in the U.S. according to two national surveys. Core Development is nationally known for numerous award-winning design-builds including The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota and The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota.
Residents are invited to join The Concession Golf Club, with its 7,474-yard tournament-caliber layout winding through over 500 acres of thick stands of live oaks, magnolias and pines. Members enjoy a stunning clubhouse filled with memorabilia of golf personalities, events and tournaments, including the 1969 Ryder Cup.
