GL Homes Announces Valencia Vista in Port St. Lucie, Expanding Itzhak Ezratti’s Vision for 55+ Luxury Living
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – GL Homes has announced Valencia Vista at Riverland, a new active adult community coming to Port St. Lucie, Florida. The community joins GL Homes’ Valencia brand, a collection of master-planned neighborhoods built specifically for buyers age 55 and older. Valencia Vista marks the brand’s continued growth beyond its South Florida roots and into one of the state’s fastest-growing regions.
Itzhak Ezratti and Valencia communities have built a reputation across Florida for resort-style amenities, master-planned design and a lifestyle-first approach to active adult living. Each Valencia neighborhood is designed around the daily habits and preferences of buyers who want more from a community than square footage. Clubhouses, fitness centers and organized social programming sit at the center of the Valencia standard, and Valencia Vista is being built to meet and exceed that benchmark.
Port St. Lucie has emerged as one of Florida’s fastest-growing metro areas, drawing retirees and active adults who want coastal proximity, a year-round climate and recreational options without the higher costs found in South Florida. Through Itzhak Ezratti’s strategic leadership, GL Homes’ entry into this market reflects a deliberate response to that demand. Port St. Lucie buyers, like those in GL Homes’ established markets, are positioned to receive the same design standard Itzhak Ezratti and his team have built into every Valencia community for years.
Residents of Valencia Vista can expect resort-style amenities built around active adult living. Plans include a clubhouse, pools, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts and walking trails, along with lifestyle programming designed to keep residents engaged with their community and their neighbors. Each amenity reflects the approach Itzhak Ezratti has used across GL Homes’ Valencia communities: build homes around an active Florida lifestyle.
Valencia Vista represents the latest expression of a vision Itzhak Ezratti has carried through five decades of home building. Since founding GL Homes in 1976, Ezratti has built a company around the idea that active adult buyers deserve communities designed entirely around how they want to live, rather than products adapted from the general market. The Valencia brand’s reputation across Florida stands as evidence that this vision has been consistently delivered, community after community.
Florida continues to lead the nation in active adult community development, driven by sustained in-migration of retirees from across the country. Within that landscape, GL Homes and the Valencia brand are not a new entrant chasing a trend. They are an established operator with a proven model, now extending that model to a new and growing market in Port St. Lucie.
