New amenities include basketball courts, multi-purpose building and adult lap pool
Minto Communities USA, the master developer and primary homebuilder of Westlake, has started construction on the final phase of the $22 million amenities complex known as the Westlake Adventure Park.
This new section will feature four basketball courts, a lap pool for adults and a multi-purpose building for resident events. The building, complete with a catering kitchen and restrooms, can be configured for one large space or three smaller rooms. An adjoining outdoor lawn area will also be available for gatherings. Construction of the new amenities is anticipated to take 12 months, with an opening planned for Q4 2022.
The original section of the Westlake Adventure Park was completed in 2019. The centerpiece is a large resort-style lagoon pool featuring a tower water slide, a splash pad, and the Snack Shack and Scoops Ice Cream poolside concessions. Other amenities include a BMX pump park, children’s playground, an expansive lawn area with concert pavilion for community events, Bocce Ball courts, BBQ grilling stations, a food truck court and dog park.
“We are excited to bring these new amenities to Westlake,” said Mike Belmont, president of Minto Communities USA. “The Westlake Adventure Park is the focal point of the lifestyle in the community—from entertainment to recreation to health and fitness opportunities, there is something for everyone.”
With 3,800 acres, the Westlake community encompasses most of the city of Westlake which was incorporated in 2016 to become the 39th municipality in Palm Beach County.
This summer, Minto began sales for two new neighborhoods: The Orchards with 358 single-family homes in phase 1 starting in the $400s, and The Estates, an enclave of 76 luxury homes on 75-foot lots starting in the $500s. The first three neighborhoods—The Hammocks, The Meadows and The Groves—have sold out.
On the commercial side, Westlake recently welcomed its first new retail development with the September opening of a prototype 7-Eleven store and gas station that features a dine-in/take-out restaurant, Wine Cellar and nitro cold-brew and iced tea bar, located off Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road.
Publix is preparing to build a multi-tenant retail center that will be anchored by a 50,000-square-foot grocery store. Nearby, a 50-acre master-planned business park known as Westlake Landings is attracting a mix of developers planning more retail shops, restaurants, warehouse space, storage and entertainment-focused projects.
Also, the taxpayer’s office in Palm Beach County is finishing up construction on a new regional service center in Westlake, as Christ Fellowship Church prepares to break ground on an 800-seat worship center.
The Westlake Sales Center is located at 16610 Town Center Parkway North in the City of Westlake, off Seminole Pratt Whitney Road between Southern Blvd. and Northlake Blvd. For more information on the community, call 888-299-3628 or visit www.WestlakeFL.com.
