Lennar Community goes standard with Z-Wave-based Controls

Lennar’s Innovation at Storey Park offers an unprecedented level of high-tech standard features and amenities including solar, home automation and whole-home connectivity. In this new CE Pro article, Jason Knott explores how these new smart home features benefit Orlando area home shoppers . 

In yet another signal that U.S. homebuilders are catching on to the value of technology in new homes, Lennar Corp.(NYSE: LEN), the second-largest homebuilder in the U.S., recently debuted a high-tech community in Orlando with standard amenities such as rooftop solar, home automation and wall-to-wall connectivity as standard features.

The community, named Innovation at Storey Park, is a gated enclave of 144 new homes with prices starting from the $270,000 range. It features Lennar’s “Everything’s Included” standard amenities policy, which has quite a bit of technology.

The homes come standard with home automation that includes locks, lights and a wireless alarm system. Among the products are:

  • Schlage Z-Wave lock
  • Ring video doorbell
  • Liftmaster mobile-enabled garage door
  • Trane Z-Wave digital thermostat
  • UTC/Interlogix Zero Wire wireless security with GSM cellular card
  • Nortek Z-Wave lighting control

Other tech-based amenities include USB ports and multimedia access throughout the home, prewiring for cable and Internet, Leviton occupancy sensors, Energy Star appliances and an AO Smith Voltex 50-gallon hybrid electric water heater.

The community will also come with SunStreet solar panels standard, which is a first in the state of Florida, according to Lennar. Homeowners can pay a flat monthly fee for a system that generates up to 60 percent of their anticipated electricity needs. Innovation at Storey Park has cottages, manors and estates.

“The average home in this country is 38 years old – long before people heard of the Internet,” says Brock Nicholas, president of Lennar’s Orlando division. “Our new homes reflect how people live today and come standard with the lifestyle conveniences once reserved for custom-built private estates.”
