Kolter Homes, an award-winning homebuilder, has earned three 2026 Aurora Silver Awards for home design, recognizing the Sarah in Mid-Florida, the Caroline in Newnan, Georgia, and the Zara in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
The awards reflect Kolter Homes' continued focus on creating homes that balance thoughtful design, flexibility, and everyday livability with community experiences that support the way residents want to live. The Sarah at Cresswind at Hammock Oaks in Lady Lake, Florida, the Caroline at Cresswind at Spring Haven in Newnan, Georgia, and the Zara at Astor Creek Golf & Country Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, each demonstrate Kolter Homes' commitment to quality and design.
The Sarah floorplan, designed with an open layout and flexible living spaces, offers room to gather, relax, and personalize areas around individual needs and interests. Cresswind at Hammock Oaks, Cresswind DeLand, and Cresswind at Lake Harris provide homebuyers the opportunity to experience the Sarah in different settings, from community events to lakefront living. The community's resort-style living, complemented by nearby downtown areas, offers residents a variety of activities and social connections.
The Caroline at Cresswind at Spring Haven in Newnan, Georgia, combines an open layout with flexible spaces designed for everyday living and entertaining. The community offers residents a resort-style experience with spaces for wellness, recreation, and gathering, all close to the vibrant Downtown Newnan.
The Zara at Astor Creek Golf & Country Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, earned a 2026 Aurora Silver Award in the Best Single Family Detached Model Home Over 5,000 Sq. Ft. category. The home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a 4-car split garage, with an open-concept layout designed for entertaining and hosting guests. Personalization opportunities for the Zara include a club room wet bar, summer kitchen, cabana bath, and optional second-floor bonus space, allowing homeowners to create a home that better reflects how they want to live. The lifestyle at Astor Creek is closely connected to the home experience, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy a round of golf, dining at the clubhouse, and spending time by the pool.
According to Marc Friedman, Senior Vice President of Sales for Kolter Homes, "Earning three Aurora Silver Awards is an exciting recognition for our team and the work that goes into every Kolter home. We think carefully about how people will actually live in these spaces, from the way they gather and entertain to how they personalize their home and connect with the community around them. The Sarah, Caroline, and Zara are three very different designs, but each reflects that same commitment, which makes this recognition especially meaningful."
