Levitt and Sons building homes in Gainesville

Having built more than 200,000 homes across the world, Levitt and Sons pride themselves in offering quality and value to their customers since their founding in 1929. When selecting a company to ensure their home's energy-efficiency and security, they chose Jackson EMC's Right Choice™ program and EMC Security™.

"With national builders like Levitt and Sons moving into our territory, we've found that our energy and environmental philosophy is a natural fit. Levitt and Sons and Jackson EMC both want to provide our customers with the highest quality construction and energy-efficient product we can. Levitt appreciates that we stand behind our product with a warranty," says Amy Bryan, Jackson EMC residential marketing director. Right Choice guarantees energy-efficiency, meets Georgia's stringent energy code and qualifies homeowners for Jackson EMC's lowest rate.

Active adult communities are gaining in popularity as many 55+ adults are preparing for a fun, low-maintenance lifestyle. This mountain retreat with a lakeside-community charm is a short distance from Atlanta. Levitt and Sons' Seasons™ on Lake Lanier will be a premier active adult community in Northeast Georgia. In addition to luxury living, Seasons also offers more than the eye can see with the protection of EMC Security and guaranteed comfort and efficiency of Right Choice.

Levitt and Sons began construction on the 410 acres of lakefront property off Brown's Bridge Road in Gainesville. The 744-home gated community will feature timeless turn-of-the-century architecture in family homes ranging from the $200s to the high $400s.

Seasons will offer residents a yacht-club style clubhouse complete with a health and fitness center, indoor heated saline pool, gourmet teaching kitchen, a 250-seat theatre and performing arts center and much more. For the outdoor sports lover, fishing, boating and other water-related recreation are available as well as tennis, walking trails and an amphitheatre. Another special feature at the entrance of Seasons on Lake Lanier is the largest man-made waterfall in the Southeast.

Seasons is attracting residents from all over America. More than 60 home sites have been sold, with 75 percent purchased by local residents and the rest from all over the United States.

"In addition to offering luxury homes, we also believe in energy-efficiency, and we want to offer the best. Although our home prices start in the $200s, many of our residents are still retired and on fixed incomes. We don't want them to spend any more for electricity than they have to. Right Choice was the only choice for Seasons on Lake Lanier," says Donna Steakley, director of sales for Levitt and Sons.

Brian McCardle, Levitt and Sons' vice-president of operations, says next to comfort, peace of mind is important to their residents. "We selected a home-monitoring company we trust. Offering our residents a company that provides numerous home entertainment wiring options with no long-term contracts is just what we were looking for when we chose EMC Security."

McCardle says customers expect quality from Levitt and Sons and Jackson EMC's services complement the luxury amenities their residents are accustomed to receiving. For more information about Seasons on Lake Lanier, please visit their Web site at www.levittandsons.com.
