Kolter Homes' Cresswind at Spring Haven: A Model for Active Adult Living
Andrew Hitch, Kolter Homes’ Community Director for Cresswind at Spring Haven, shares insights on creating a community that blends design, craftsmanship, and livability for active adults.
Andrew Hitch, with over 25 years in the construction industry, is shaping Cresswind at Spring Haven into a premier active adult community. His role involves meticulous planning and construction to ensure the neighborhood offers state-of-the-art amenities and quality-built homes. Hitch's journey from a family rooted in construction to leading developments at Kolter Homes underscores his passion for creating spaces that enhance lives.
Choosing Kolter Homes was a decision driven by the company's commitment to quality and innovation, despite initial concerns about job security. Hitch's transition from a large production builder to Kolter Homes allowed him to contribute to meaningful projects, including Cresswind at Spring Haven, which is designed with active adults in mind. The community features amenities like the Cresswind SmartFIT Training Center and a resort-style clubhouse, catering to health, wellness, and social engagement.
Recent developments at Cresswind at Spring Haven include the release of additional homesites and the planning of a community garden and nature trails. These additions, along with the ongoing construction of a 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, highlight the community's focus on enhancing resident lifestyles. Trends in the active adult housing market, such as wellness, social engagement, and technology integration, are central to Cresswind's design and offerings.
Hitch advises young professionals interested in development or construction to gain hands-on experience, build communication skills, understand the industry's big picture, and remain patient and persistent. His insights reflect the dedication required to create communities that stand the test of time and meet the evolving needs of active adults.
