Denver, Colo. – May 2018 – A typical baby will use anywhere from 10 to 12 diapers a day and a toddler about eight, which means a family can go through hundreds in just a week. Because welfare programs do not provide infant hygiene supplies, one in three families nationwide struggle to provide diapers for their babies, with more than 40 percent of mothers having to choose between buying diapers and other necessities. That’s why Lennar and HomeAid Colorado are partnering to help bring vital supplies to families in need. From now until Father’s Day on June 17th, drop off donations at any Lennar or CalAtlantic community throughout the Denver Metro area and Northern Colorado.

“Lennar is honored to be partnering with HomeAid Colorado for Builders for Babies,” said Carrie Castilian, Director of Marketing for Lennar Colorado. “Whether you’re donating essential items or volunteering your time and efforts, together as an industry, we can make a difference.”

This year, the goal is to collect 500,000 donated diapers. In addition, you can also donate other essentials, including baby wipes and formulas. HomeAid Essentials is a program that brings together the entire community to help and encourage homeless families and ensure the health of babies by providing a basic need – such as diapers. The simple donation of a box of baby wipes multiplied by thousands can change lives!

Builders for Babies will also host a diaper collecting event on June 8th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mile High Stadium, parking lots G & I—come out and make a difference!

Lennar and Amazon have teamed up and recently announced the opening of interactive Amazon Experience Centers within select Lennar model homes, Learn more about the Amazon Experience Centers to discover first-hand the convenience of Alexa smart home products and more in a real home environment in this Realty Biz article by Mike Wheatley.

Web shopping giant Amazon.com Inc. is teaming up with home builder Lennar to create “experience showrooms” showcasing the latest developments in smart home technology.

Stuart Miller, executive chairman of Lennar, told CNBC that companies including Amazon and also Google and Apple are beginning to think of the home as a “centerpiece” of the way they think about the future of how their products will work, and how users will interact with them.

“Home automation is a point of attraction,” Miller said. “It’s a proxy for a lot of other things.”

These days, all of Lennar’s newly built homes are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design, which means that internet capabilities are built into their walls and floors. That makes it a good fit for Amazon, which owns several smart home companies including Ring. It and its subsidiaries also make numerous smart home products that can be controlled via Amazon’s popular Alexa smart home control hub.

Lennar currently has 14 showrooms up and running in the U.S. that showcase Amazon’s smart home technology, and is planning to create even more. Amazon officials said that many of the visitors to these showrooms are more interested in the technology itself, and aren’t yet in the market for a new home.

“We wanted customers to experience a real home environment that showcases the convenience of the Alexa smart-home experience, great entertainment available with Prime, and Home Services,” Nish Lathia, general manager of Amazon Services, told CNBC. “Lennar offers the potential to enable this experience within easy driving distance of millions of customers.”

“There’s cross-pollination that could happen, where somebody may walk in the door interested in an Alexa product, and they may say really, ‘I’d love to have this home,’” David Kaiserman, president of Lennar, told CNBC.

No longer just a temporary destination for snowbirds and spring breakers, South Florida is home to diverse cultures, delicious food, incredible entertainment, amazing beaches, and a dreamy, laid-back lifestyle. In the heart of it all, ideally located in the Aventura corridor, Lennar is creating a contemporary, new community offering the best of Florida living: Via Ventura.

This beautiful, resort-style community will feature villas, townhomes, and single-family homes, flanking a gleaming lake. With a choice of many open-floorplans and homesites—including breathtaking waterfront lots—Via Ventura has a great space for every family.

As if living in a gorgeous home and exciting community weren’t enough, Via Ventura homebuyers will be just steps away from South Florida’s many enticements.

No need to plan elaborate family vacations just to enjoy nature or catch some rays: With miles of nearby public parks, lovely spots abound – and the many dog-friendly beaches will even allow your water-loving pup to join in the fun.

Rent a jet ski for a couple of hours, charter a sailboat into the open ocean, eat a delicious meal on a sunset cruise, or learn a new skill like paddle boarding and scuba diving.

South Florida is also home to many outstanding golf courses, thanks to the state’s flat topography. Famous courses offer breezy layouts, large lakes, and undulating greens that provide a challenging, yet relaxing, landscape for every round.

Close to some of the country’s best shopping, everything you need or may simply want, is a short drive away. Explore nearby Aventura Mall – a can’t-miss destination with sumptuous gourmet dining, myriad outdoor cafes, and fun for the kids, including a huge, winding slide—venture off to Miami’s world-famous Design District, or to the quirky shops surrounding Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard.

Restaurants, food trucks, and quintessential cafes dot the area, providing easy access to a wonderful meal. Take advantage of the local cultural diversity by enjoying some of the best Latin food in the country, including Cuban sandwiches, ceviche, and arepas. Or, enjoy a seasonal favorite seafood dish: succulent stone crabs.

In addition to natural beauty, outdoor recreation, great shopping and dining, for those who love to watch sports or enjoy the city’s nightlife, your choices are endless. And world-class performing arts centers take entertainment to another level, bringing operas, ballets, Broadway plays, orchestral performances, and more.

Quite possibly, for a Via Ventura home resident the greatest challenge will be in deciding between many tempting choices. Stay home and relax in your delightful space? Go for a swim in the invigorating pool then play with the kids in the water park? Sit by the lake and watch the herons, egrets, turtles and ducks as they splash and romp in the water? Or round up the family and go on an adventure to one of the many nearby destinations? Whatever you do, at Via Ventura you’ll discover the best of South Florida living.
