Orlando, FL — Latitude Margaritaville by Minto Communities was recognized with a total of five Grand Aurora and Silver Awards at the 2018 Southeast Building Conference presented by the Southeast Building Council (SEBC) in Orlando in August.

The SEBC presents the largest building industry trade show in the southeast. The 2018 Aurora competition drew 400 entries from 12 states in 70 categories that were reviewed by a panel of building industry leaders. The Aurora Awards are presented annually for community planning, product design, and interior merchandising. The Excel Awards recognize achievements in marketing, advertising and sales.

Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach received a Grand Aurora Award for Best 55+ Living Community For Sale, and two Silver Awards for Best 55+ Living Community For Sale and Best Community Site Plan. Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head won a Grand Aurora Award and Silver award for Best 55+ Living Community On-the-Boards.

Latitude Margaritaville has redefined the approach to active adult communities with a dynamic all-new concept in 55-and-better living for those who are growing older, but not up.
