Cresswind at Victoria Gardens has been built out by three different builders since 2001. Today, Kolter Homes is the only builder still constructing new homes in the community — everything else you'll find is resale. Here's how to tell the difference and what's currently available new.
Cresswind at Victoria Gardens didn't come from a single builder. Construction started in 2001 under The St. Joe Company, the original developer of the broader Victoria Park community. Over the years, additional phases were built by Shea Homes, and most recently by Kolter Homes — bringing the community to well over 1,000 homes total. If you're shopping Cresswind today, it matters which builder built the specific home or phase you're looking at, since that affects whether it's available new or resale-only, and which floor plan collection it belongs to.
| Builder | Status | What They Built |
|---|---|---|
| Kolter Homes | Active — Building New | Botanical Collection and Floral Collection — the only new construction currently available in Cresswind |
| Shea Homes | Resale Only | Earlier phases of Cresswind — no longer building new here, homes trade on the resale market |
| The St. Joe Company | Resale Only | Original developer, broke ground on Cresswind in 2001 — earliest phases, resale only |
Kolter Homes builds two active collections in Cresswind at Victoria Gardens. Pricing below is approximate and moves with the market — always confirm current pricing and available lots directly with the builder or with Robert before making decisions.
Kolter's more compact single-family floor plans in Cresswind — efficient layouts designed for low-maintenance active-adult living.
Larger single-family homes with more square footage and premium options — Kolter's move-up collection within Cresswind.
Kolter Homes is currently the only builder constructing new homes in Cresswind at Victoria Gardens, offering the Botanical and Floral collections. Homes built by the community's earlier builders, The St. Joe Company and Shea Homes, are available on the resale market only.
The Botanical Collection is Kolter's more compact, efficiently laid-out floor plan series, while the Floral Collection offers larger square footage and more premium finish options. Both are single-family, low-maintenance designs built for active-adult living.
Yes. Homes originally built by The St. Joe Company or Shea Homes come up regularly on the resale market and are a great option — they're simply no longer being built new. Robert can help you evaluate resale vs. new construction based on your budget and timeline.
Yes — new construction purchases go through the builder's own sales process and contract, and it's important to have your own buyer's agent representing your interests from the first visit to the model home, at no cost to you. Resale purchases follow the standard MLS process. Robert represents buyers in both.
Before you visit a Kolter model home, talk to Robert. Having your own buyer's agent register you on your first visit costs you nothing and makes sure someone is looking out for your interests — not just the builder's.
