NEW ESTATES HOMESITES WILL BE THE LARGEST WITHIN THE BRIDGES.

THE FINAL “BATTLE AT THE BRIDGES.”

Excitement is building as preparations are underway for the 2005 “Battle at The Bridges”, Monday, July 25. This is the third and final year the Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe will host this internationally televised Tiger Woods’ golf tournament. The one-round, best-ball format will feature Woods and Daly battling against Mickelson and Goosen.

Tom Martin, President of The Bridges Club at Rancho Santa Fe, is delighted that The Bridges final “Battle” will feature three of golf’s top 5 players: Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen & Phil Mickelson -– along with the “people’s choice” John Daly. Martin said, “The Bridges is the perfect setting for the event not only because Mickelson is a Bridges’ member, but because both Daly and Woods truly enjoy the environment The Bridges offers.” ABC Sports, in keeping with its recognized Monday Night sports tradition, will once again broadcast the Lincoln Financial Battle at The Bridges. Coverage from the first tee will begin on ESPN2 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. and will move to ABC Sports from 5:00-8:00 p.m. ABC is broadcasting the event live for the seventh consecutive year.



CORTILE COLLECTION WINS FOUR GOLD NUGGETS
FOR EXCELLENCE IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Inspired Teamwork Pays Off as Honors Include Home and Community of the Year


Rancho Santa Fe, CA—Proving that great teamwork is the key to great residential design, The Cortile Collection at The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe was the big winner at the recent Gold Nugget Awards presented during the Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference in San Francisco. Cortile earned four grand awards to dominate a field that included the most innovative residential communities throughout the West.

Renowned as one of the nation’s most prestigious design competitions, the Gold Nuggets honored Cortile as Detached Project of the Year and Cortile’s Residence Three as Home of the Year—the best-in-show award. Additionally, Residences Two and Three took top honors in their respective size categories, and Residence One was a Merit Award winner in the category won by Residence Two.

The Cortile Collection and the magnificent golf resort community of The Bridges are being developed by HCC Investors, a partnership between Lennar Communities and Briarwood Development.

According to Tom Martin, vice president of Lennar Communities, The Cortile Collection was created on a very tight schedule through the mammoth efforts of a brilliant design team: Bassenian/Lagoni Architects, Greystone Homes as general contractor, landscape architect Pinnacle Design, Steve Wolff & Associates for interior plantscapes, Pacific Dimensions for interior design, San Dieguito Engineering, and Ken Ayers, director of development for The Bridges community.

“The Cortile Collection is a prime example of what can be achieved within a virtually impossible time frame when some of the most talented people in our industry join together with a common goal,” Martin said. “We started with a strong vision for this very special neighborhood and its showcase model complex, and it became a labor of love for everybody involved. The results are truly remarkable.”

Noted Bob Jackson, The Bridges’ marketing director,
Cortile is following in the footsteps of the same team’s highly honored The Villas at The Bridges, which won a Grand Award and three Merit Awards at the Gold Nuggets two years ago. The spacious clubhouse at The Bridges’ 10,000-square-foot Sports Centre was also a previous Gold Nugget Award recipient, winning in the category of Best Public/Private Recreational Facility.

With prices starting from the mid-$2 millions, The Cortile Collection is a limited edition of only 44 single-level and two-story estate residences on homesites averaging one-half acre. Since full-yard landscaping, including pools, is part of every home purchase, each residence has a one-of-a-kind ambiance that contributes to the neighborhood’s Tuscan hillside aesthetic. Home interiors range from approximately 4,300 to 5,300 square feet.

Huge courtyards and other outdoor living areas are an integral part of each home, with abundant French doors and transitional spaces like sheltered loggias connecting virtually every room either physically or visually to a courtyard. The homes’ old-world, built-over-time quality provides the feeling that they have always been a part of the landscape.

In addition to The Cortile Collection residences, half-acre to three-acre custom homesites are available at The Bridges, priced from $1.5 million. Custom estate residences sized from approximately 6,000 to 9,000 square feet are selling from $3.5 million.

Gated for privacy, the Bridges’ abundantly landscaped 500+ acre site will eventually encompass only 250 homes nestled above the exclusive Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe. Residents can take advantage of resort-caliber amenities including the ultimate fitness and spa facilities of The Sports Centre; fine dining and casually elegant socializing at the 36,000-square-foot, Tuscan-style Bridges Clubhouse; and the magnificent 18-hole golf course that is home to the Lincoln Financial Battle at The Bridges, an internationally televised golf event.
