Lakewood Ranch, a master-planned conservation community located on 7,000 acres spanning Sarasota and Manatee counties, has won the 19th Residential Environmental Award from the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR). The award, popularly known as the ENVY, was presented recently at FAR’s 89th annual Convention and Trade Expo in Lake Buena Vista. The ENVY award recognizes the residential and/or commercial developer who makes a significant contribution toward building in harmony with Florida’s sensitive environment.

As the 2005 ENVY winner in the residential category, Lakewood Ranch now has the distinction of being the only development to win FAR's ENVY awards in both the commercial and residential categories. It won the commercial ENVY award in 1999.
