Babcock Ranch anchors a new age of resilience
Babcock Ranch, the U.S.’s first solar-powered master-planned community, leads as a Southwest Florida Resilience Accelerator supporting statewide efforts to build the next generation of American companies focused on climate resilience and sustainability.
The best-selling master-planned community was developed by Kitson & Partners. The town is planned for 20,000 residences built to Florida Green Building Coalition standards and approximately 6,000,000 square feet of commercial space.
“Anchoring the new Southwest Florida Resilience Accelerator at Babcock Ranch underscores our vision to be the most sustainable, innovative and resilient town in America,” said Lucienne Pears, Vice President of Economic and Business Development for Kitson & Partners, developer of Babcock Ranch. “By welcoming pioneers from across the globe into our sandbox to scale concepts in real-time, we are convening the capital, resources and like-minded people needed to cultivate long-term economic growth in Southwest Florida.”
