ORLANDO, Fla.. –August 5, 2013 – Offering the perfect blend of spacious living, tremendous home value and an ideal location, Minto Communities announces the sellout of its first phase of Courtyard Homes in Laureate Parke at Lake Nona.

A second phase is expected to open soon. A VIP registration list is now available for the next phase.

"When we decided to enter the Orlando market last year," said William Bullock, vice president of Minto Communities, “our goal was to provide homebuyers with new innovative floor plans, included premium features and an attractive price to make the buying experience enjoyable and easy. With our first phase of Courtyard Homes sold out in record time, I think we met our goal."

Bullock notes that same goal of creating value through superior quality, home designs and included premium features carries over into Minto’s collection of single family homes in Laureate Park.

Starting in the mid $200s, Minto currently offers seven luxury floorplan designs to choose from. Two designs – the Huxley Grande and Cormack Grande – are featured model homes and include two stories with 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, loft, two spacious covered lanais, second floor covered balconies and a 2 car garage with the option for a 3 car garage.
