Summary
Mattamy Homes, which describes itself as North America's largest family-owned homebuilder, announced that its Tradition master-planned community in Port St. Lucie, Florida, ranked No. 23 on RCLCO Real Estate Consulting's 2026 Mid-Year Top 50 Master-Planned Communities list. RCLCO has tracked the nation's top-selling master-planned communities for more than 30 years. According to the company, Tradition posted 279 new-home sales in the first half of 2026, a 14% increase from 245 during the same period last year. Sales across the full Top 50 rose nearly 3% compared with the first half of 2025, which the release notes outpaced the broader U.S. new-home market.
Dan Grosswald, President of Mattamy's Southeast Florida Division, attributed the community's ranking to strong buyer demand and the experience Mattamy has built there, noting that many buyers want neighborhoods where they can feel connected, enjoy the outdoors and gather. Mattamy acquired Tradition in 2018 and has since placed greater emphasis on expanding its neighborhoods and amenities. The community includes an extensive network of parks, the 73-foot Heart in the Park sculpture and The Shoppes at the Heart, an adjacent commercial component. Mattamy opened Stars & Stripes Park earlier in 2026, featuring green space, ponds and interactive art honoring veterans and first responders.
The Tradition Nature Trail and Tradition Regional Park are slated to open soon, adding sports fields, cycling facilities and nature trails. Mattamy said it has worked with local government officials on several public parks and recreational destinations. The builder has also expanded mobility options, including the TIM Shuttle and e-bike rentals, and is piloting a ride-hailing service within the community to reduce car trips and associated emissions. Tradition Square, the community's town center, hosts year-round events, including a weekly Sunday morning market and live outdoor concerts. Mattamy also launched the T Club, a membership program offering residents additional perks, earlier this year.
