Aurora, Colo. – Kemmons Wilson Communities' (KWC) newest lifestyle community, the Villas at Great Plains Park (The Villas), celebrated the opening of its completed clubhouse today. Aurora City Councilman Bob Broom and Aurora Chamber of Commerce President Kevin Hougen joined Kemmons Wilson Companies executives for the clubhouse ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Located in Aurora at the southeast corner of South Dunkirk Street and Jewell Avenue, the clubhouse features a great room, fitness room and adjoining outdoor pool. The 3,000-square-foot clubhouse is the centerpiece for The Villas, a community designed for active empty-nesters who no longer want the inconvenience of stairs or exterior maintenance responsibilities.
Ron Hickman, senior vice president of (KWC), addressed the group at the afternoon ceremony. “Today marks a milestone in the progress of Villas at Great Plains Park. Soon this clubhouse will be the hub of activity for an 80-home community offering a unique opportunity for peace of mind.” 

KWC is currently taking reservations for homes in The Villas. Move-in is expected to begin in November 2007.
The Villas is the first ranch patio-home community of its kind in the Denver-metro area. Homes at The Villas are single-story and have two or three bedrooms. All have attached two-car garages and a sunroom and/or patio. Prices start in the low $220s.

Kemmons Wilson Communities, a subsidiary of Kemmons Wilson Inc., is developing the project. Modeled after successful lifestyle communities the company has developed in Memphis, Tenn., this is KWC’s first project in Colorado. The company currently has similar communities under construction in Longmont and Thornton.

The Villas’ ranch patio homes are built with universal design standards – principles intended to meet the needs of people of all ages and physical abilities. Features include stair- and sill-free construction, wide door entries, levered handles and convenient receptacle heights. For more information, please visit www.kwcommunities.com.
