Soléa at Wellen Park welcomes first residents in August

VENICE, Fla. (Aug. 14, 2024) – Wellen Park introduces its newest lifestyle option with the August opening of Soléa Wellen Park, a maintenance-free apartment community with private amenities for active adults 55 and over. The country club-style clubhouse and first phase of Soléa’s four-story residential building are now complete, ready to welcome the first renters in mid-August.

“Our future residents are excited for this next chapter of their lives,” said Jonathan Boone, a partner at Sparrow Partners, developer of Soléa Wellen Park. “They’re looking forward to new experiences, making new connections and enjoying an active new lifestyle with on-site amenities and social events, plus incredible access to all Wellen Park has to offer.”

 Located on West Villages Parkway between CoolToday Park and Downtown Wellen, Soléa offers spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments, easy living and abundant resort-inspired amenities. Luxury apartments are still available in the gated, pet-friendly community. Soléa will have 204 total apartments in a single building enveloping the amenities courtyard. The neighborhood also offers detached garages, carports and extra storage spaces at an additional charge.

“The opening of Soléa redefines and elevates the choices and lifestyles available for those looking for 55 and up living in Wellen Park,” said Rick Severance, president of Wellen Park. “Residents now have rental options in addition to homebuying opportunities in our for sale neighborhoods.”

Soléa offers something for everyone with eight different open-concept floor plans ranging from 615 to 1,285 square feet featuring chef-inspired kitchens with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, luxury vinyl flooring in main living spaces, expansive walk-in closets, extra storage, full-size washers and dryers, and private terraces. Select apartment homes include garden tubs, walk-in glass showers, studies, private fenced-in yards and boast scenic views overlooking the central amenities courtyard, a lake and landscaped areas.

Designed for engagement, exploring new interests and hobbies, and gathering with friends and neighbors, Soléa’s 10,000-square-foot clubhouse is the heart of the community’s active, social and fun-filled lifestyle. The building features a 24-hour fitness center for cardio and strength training, game and crafts rooms, a library, a club lounge, unique sitting areas, a wine and coffee bar, a kitchen/dining area and a business center equipped with Wi-Fi, a printer, scanner and fax.

The clubhouse’s plentiful porches and large terrace gaze out to the community’s central courtyard, where future amenities are scheduled to open this fall, including a resort-style pool with two lap lanes, a sun deck and cabanas.

As the hub of Soléa’s outdoor lifestyle, the courtyard also features an alfresco kitchen with grills, an event lawn with cornhole and a sitting area, plus pickleball and bocce ball courts. Nestled within manicured courtyards, additional outdoor amenities include a resident garden with seating under a pergola and a fire table lounge near the fenced dog park.

Residents will also enjoy an activities calendar with daily social events, plus happy hours and weekly fitness classes – from yoga and water aerobics to strength and balance sessions.

“Our lifestyle and engagement team creates lifelong learning, wellness, fitness and friendship opportunities,” said Boone. “We create spaces for people to connect and experiences they might miss out on if they’re living by themselves in a house. For many residents, this is a component they didn’t envision with living in an apartment community.”

Sparrow Partners is a developer, builder and management company based in Austin, Texas. The company opened its first active adult rental community in 2017 and now operates in five states. Soléa Wellen Park is its first Florida development.
