Babcock Ranch
 Unique.
Visionary. Responsibly innovative. Kitson and Partners is
proud to present Babcock Ranch.
Babcock
Ranch represents an unprecedented collaborative effort between
Kitson & Partners, the State of Florida, Charlotte and
Lee Counties, major environmental groups, community leaders
and concerned citizens to create one of the nation’s
most environmentally innovative and responsible new hometowns.
Babcock
Ranch will be an extraordinary sustainable
community, where residents will live, work, play and learn
amidst the natural splendor of Florida’s undeveloped
wilderness. Indeed, over 80% of Kitson and Partners’
original Babcock Ranch purchase, fully 73,000 acres within
Charlotte and Lee counties in southwest Florida, has been
preserved by the State of Florida and Lee County in the
largest single land preservation agreement in the State’s
history.
Raising
the initiative of a green community to new
heights, Babcock Ranch is destined to be America’s
most walk-able, hike-able, bike-able town with neighborhoods
and public resources linked together by an extensive greenway
and trail system. Imagine children biking safely to school
without ever having to cross a street, shopping districts
within easy strolling distance from homes, abundant outdoor
family recreation and conservation areas.
Residential
and commercial buildings will be designed and built emphasizing
the very latest environmental-conscious technology. Plus,
Kitson and Partners recognizes the societal value of developing
a full range of home purchasing opportunities at Babcock
Ranch… from modest priced workforce housing
to luxury homes, and everything in between.
Babcock
Ranch is destined to be the model community for the 21st
century … an exceptional example of environmental
preservation and responsible growth.
