A master-planned community of about 5,000 single-family houses is expected to open this spring in suburban Denver.
Brightland Homes said Windler in Aurora, Colorado, will be its 11th development in the Centennial State. The homes will be up to 2,600 square feet and have three to five bedrooms. The company recently broke ground on the lots but has not released prices.
Only one Colorado development, Sterling Ranch in Littleton, ranked among the 50 top-selling master-planned communities nationwide last year, according to a study by the RCLCO consulting firm. Florida had the largest share of sales at 37%, followed by Texas at 35% and Nevada at 10%.
RCLCO defines master-planned developments as those with a comprehensive plan by a master developer. There are a variety of housing types, sizes and prices, and owners share common spaces and amenities.

Windler will be built east of Denver in the Platinum Triangle section of northeast Aurora on the Windler family property that was established in 1881, the company said. In addition to the homes, 170 acres will be reserved for parks and open space, according to Brightland. The project will include future retail, commercial and hospitality uses.
Windler allows the company to "create more home options across the front range and contribute to building in community-focused environments," said Aric Jones, division president of Brightland Homes Colorado, in a statement.
Brightland, based in Addison, Texas, is the nation's 12th-largest privately held homebuilder, according to the latest rankings from Builder magazine. Brightland builds in Colorado, Florida, Arizona, Texas and Tennessee.
