Brightmore at Wellen Park Builds in Wellness

Mattamy Homes elevates active adult living to healthy heights

With sales already underway at Brightmore, Mattamy Homes' pioneering 55+ community in Wellen Park, it’s clear that a commitment to healthy living permeates every facet planned in this vibrant development. Renowned for award-winning builds, Mattamy Homes integrates wellness into its offerings, presenting a plethora of health-oriented amenities while championing sustainability in its construction processes and community designs.

Bob Meyn, President of Mattamy Homes’ Tampa and Southwest division, encapsulates Brightmore’s ethos, asserting, “rooted in wellbeing, new possibilities, and community spirit, Brightmore offers a lifestyle as dynamic as its name.” This philosophy harmonizes with Wellen Park’s vision, as President Rick Severance welcomes the new neighborhood, highlighting opportunities for community connections and enhanced experiences.

As the inaugural age-qualified community in Wellen Park, Brightmore boasts nine pickleball courts, including a stadium court for tournaments. Tailored for active adults aged 55 and older, the community delivers a holistic living experience–the heart of which will reside in the future amenity complex. The clubhouse will be 21,000 square feet under roof, with a fitness center full of state-of-the art equipment, including 2 pools. The group fitness studio will be the focal point for classes, meet-ups, activities, and more, all designed to nurture body, mind and soul. 

Other features include extensive trails and connection to Wellen Park’s 30+ miles of trails, and a dedicated dog park, in addition to outdoor gathering and event lawns which can be used for fitness and social activities.

With 600+ thoughtfully designed single-family homes and paired villas, Brightmore at Wellen Park prioritizes social connections and daily interactions. Its proximity to CoolToday Park and Downtown Wellen is also a major plus. 

Two more Mattamy Homes communities in Wellen Park–Sunstone and Renaissance–also boast a wide range of healthy living and wellness amenities. They all share Mattamy’s commitment to wellbeing and sustainability, as will be offered in Brightmore. All three communities boast some, or all, of the following:
