More than 300 people attended a VIP Grand Opening celebration event at Seven Pines, a new master-planned community in Jacksonville. Guests enjoyed entertainment, delicious food and the opportunity to be among the first to visit the community’s eight brand new furnished model homes masterfully crafted by two of Jacksonville’s most trusted builders, ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes.
Guests included three generations of the Skinner family
The name, Seven Pines, pays tribute to the seven Skinner brothers who have a long and deeply rich family history with the property and the city of Jacksonville. The VIP Celebration guests included 34 members of the Skinner family representing three generations, and 30 Seven Pines homebuyers who purchased homes in the community prior to the grand opening. ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes also hosted a public opening event which attracted nearly 700 people.
“We were thrilled to welcome a record number of guests to our VIP celebrations, and we are pleased by the enthusiastic response we received on our new model homes and our plans for Seven Pines,” said Tom McCall, Chief Operating Officer, ICI Homes. “Seven Pines is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after communities in Northeast Florida, and we look forward to welcoming many of our guests back as residents in the future.”
“Seven Pines will be a community truly distinctive to Jacksonville – a place where people can live, work and enjoy life in a setting unlike any other in Northeast Florida,” said Steve Ebensberger, Area President, David Weekley Homes. “Our residents will have a wonderful neighborhood environment with contemporary homes, unique outdoor amenities and an exceptional location that’s close to everything. Seven Pines is a place where everyone will want to be.”
