Leland could soon see hundreds of homes designed for seniors
A national leader in senior living has its eyes set on more than 300 acres of land in Leland.
Del Webb looks to soon bring 762 single-family senior homes to the Mallory Creek Plantation neighborhood in Leland. Del Webb is a self-described “pioneer in active adult communities and America’s leading builder of new homes designed for pre-retirement and retirees.”
According to plans submitted to Leland, the homes are planned for 304 acres of land off Mallory Creek Drive nearby Lillibridge and Merestone drives.
With the expansion, Mallory Creek will grow from its current size of 1,370 single-family homes and townhomes, to nearly 2,500 total residences.
Del Webb is known for its communities for adults 55 years old and older in states as close as Virginia and South Carolina and as far as California. There are three other Del Webb communities in North Carolina, one each in Wilmington, Clayton and Fuquay-Varina.
