The development team at University Park broke ground on its first new phase in seven years.

Lansdowne Crescent, named after a traditional community in London, will feature 19 home sites along the University Park Country Club golf course. New houses will range in size from 2,300 to 2,800 square feet.

"With the market recovery and this location growing so quickly with new amenities, the timing is good to begin this next phase," said Charles Varah, partner representative for University Park.

John Neal Homes will be the exclusive builder in the new section and will break ground on a new model this summer.
