Talis Park, a gated golf course community being developed by Kitson & Partners in North Naples, reported processing 18 closed builder and end-user lot transactions, furnished model sales, and new home construction contracts worth $19,492,766 in February.

New homebuyer traffic continued to be up over 250 percent year-over-year while return traffic was up more than 1,000 percent. Thirty-six residences are under construction in Talis Park’s 10 neighborhoods and another 30 are poised to start within the next six months. The strong performance in February increased Talis Park’s year-to-date closed and contracted sales to $26,709,766 and continued the momentum established in 2014 when 95 closed homesite sales and 51 new construction contracts worth $102 million were processed within the community.
