A truly inspiring weekend at Future Place. The conversations around thoughtful planning, evolving homebuyer needs, and designing for long-term community success reinforce the values we live every day here at Babcock Ranch. Congratulations again to Syd Kitson on being honored with the Future Place Legends Award, a well-deserved recognition of visionary leadership and commitment to building resilient, people-focused communities. Proud to be part of this movement shaping the future of place.
The future of community is being rewritten. Day 1 of Future Place brought industry leaders together to define what’s next for master-planned communities—and one message came through loud and clear: success today starts with understanding how people want to live tomorrow. ✅ Consumers have more room to move: Despite economic turbulence, consumers gained 8–11% in purchasing power this year. “Fifty-eight percent of top markets now have more inventory than in 2019. Consumers don’t feel pressured to act immediately.” — Ali Wolf, Chief Economist, Zonda and NewHomeSource ✅ Demographics are shifting demand: The median first-time buyer is nearing 40, single buyers are surging, and affordability is redefining design. “Fifteen of the top 25 MPCs are active adult communities.” — Sean Fergus, Executive Director, Zonda ✅ Great communities start early: From signage to amenities, every design decision shapes the long game. “Everything has to be right from day one.” — Fred Balda, Hillwood Communities The day ended with a standing ovation for Syd Kitson, recipient of the Future Place Legends Award, honored for his vision and leadership in building resilient communities like Babcock Ranch. And that was just Day 1. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e_5tARzp
