"We are excited about Hacienda Club opening in June," says Jody Mayor, Director of Property Management. "Cabana Club, our luxury gated community across the street, is 100 percent occupied and thriving just one year after opening!"

"We are poised to immediately engage our new Hacienda Club residents in the "at your service" lifestyle our communities are known for." Mayor continues, "By introducing them to programs in use at Cabana Club, they will have a first-hand experience of what they can expect to experience at Hacienda Club."

"We want to be a 'one stop shop' for all the leasing and living needs of our residents at Cabana Club and Hacienda Club." Director of Marketing Kirsten Mosco says, "We want to grow with our customers in an expanding market delivering not just a product, but a lifestyle!"

Fort Family Investments rolled out " A Community with a Heart" initiative last year aimed at giving back to the community, a hallmark of Fort Family Investments, and residents have embraced these programs. "It's not where you live, but how you live. Imagine." Hacienda Club will embrace this program as well.
