Maracay Homes announced a new collection of home plans designed exclusively for the active adult market. The Freedom Collection was developed in partnership with KTGY, a national architectural firm, known for innovation in design for the active adult buyer.

“More than a third of our buyers identify themselves in the active adult demographic,” said Andy Warren, President of Maracay Homes. “They are a sophisticated consumer that demands innovative designs tailored to their lifestyles. KTGY helped us design a collection of homes that address the unique needs of this demographic.”

With the Freedom Collection, Maracay Homes incorporated specific features known as Universal Design into the homes.  Universal Design supports the active adult lifestyle through subtle design cues that add convenience and ease to living.  Features such as one-story homes, split master bedrooms, wider hallways and doors, sitting showers, raised ovens and dishwashers and storage within reach.

The active adult buyer is also known for their entertaining and socializing lifestyles.  Maracay designed the Freedom Collection home plans to flow easily from the grand entranceways to the large entertaining kitchens and outside into the resort style backyards.  Home functions such as ‘snore’ rooms or caregiver rooms can be accommodated through Maracay Homes’ signature flex design options.

In addition to innovative features and appealing aesthetics, Maracay Homes’ LivingSmart® program, offering the latest energy-efficient technologies and sustainable building practices, is incorporated into these new plans. These design elements, components and appliances offer the latest in comfort and performance as well as cost savings.

Maracay Homes will debut the Freedom Collection at DMB Associates’ new active adult community, Victory at Verrado, in January 2015.  The Freedom Collection ranges from 2,200 square feet to 2,600 square feet.  Maracay Homes was one of only four builders selected to construct homes at Victory.
