Lennar’s masterplanned community Gossamer Grove celebrated the move-in of its first family last weekend with a founding family ceremony. The ceremony took place almost exactly one year after Lennar broke ground on Gossamer Grove.
“In one year, we’ve been able to commemorate significant milestones as we work toward the vision of building this community in Shafter,” said Lennar Central Valley Division President Mike Miller. “On April 8, 2016, the Melendy family officially became the founding family of Gossamer Grove and we couldn’t be more delighted to celebrate them.”
The Melendy family is one of several families who closed on their homes in April, but obtains the unique distinction of being the first to move into a community that, when finished, will provide more than 3,000 homes to the Central Valley.
“Our new home is amazing,” said Brandon Melendy. “I love that it’s near the edge of town. It doesn’t feel like you’re in the city, but you have the city nearby.”
The Melendy family first heard about Gossamer Grove while touring Lennar models in another community in Bakersfield. After learning about Gossamer Grove’s location on Seventh Standard and Calloway, they decided to wait for the Grand Opening. Now, they’re the founding family of what has been slated to be the largest development project in the City of Shafter.
Gossamer Grove is a masterplanned community that will be built atop more than 1,000 acres and will include, in addition to more than 3,000 homes, two schools, ten parks including Flight Park, meant to pay homage to Shafter’s deep-rooted history in aviation, and commercial and retail development, including city services.
Gossamer Grove will be built in phases, the first of which is now selling and has quick move-in homes available. The first phase consists of three series of home styles by Lennar, The Cambridge Collection, The Chateau Series and The California Series.
