PLACE
Welcome
I hope you are all enjoying the summer.
At Windsor, construction activity is in full swing, and we are making very good progress on the development of the North Village, our final phase. The 47-acre site is taking shape with more than 2,300 existing trees relocated and one of the two planned bodies of water excavated. Interest remains strong with only nine of the 34 homesites remaining. See page 3 for an update and recent aerial photograph of the site.
The team here is also planning for another exciting season of events and activities including the eighth biennial Windsor Charity Polo Cup. Presented by PNC Bank and benefiting three local charities, the familyfriendly event takes place on Saturday, February 14, over President’s Day weekend. Expect an extra special polo-themed Valentine’s Day in 2026. See page 8 for more details.
Also in this issue is a recap of a new Windsor Charitable Foundation fundraising event that took place in March. Titled Windsor Style, Members and guests enjoyed three days of design-inspired events including a design panel, Home & Garden Tour, Luncheon with Keynote Speaker, and a Village Centre Trunk Show day. The successful event will return next season and feature more fabulous Windsor homes, leading design professionals, and luxury brands.
Recently, we were saddened to learn that Léon Krier, architect, urban theorist and one of the most significant voices in the New Urbanist movement, died at 79 on Tuesday, June 17, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Designed by Krier and completed in 2000, Windsor’s iconic Town Hall is revered in architectural circles and beloved by the Windsor Membership. On page 11 we remember Léon and look back at his legendary life and career.

The North Village
DEVELOPMENT OF THE 47-ACRE SITE ADVANCES
As work progresses in Windsor’s North Village, homesites are almost 70 percent sold out.
Owning a property in Windsor’s new neighborhood affords the rare opportunity to live more connected to nature without giving up privacy, high design, or comfort. With more than 26 acres of green space, a freshwater lake, saltwater estuary, and noteworthy architecture, the North Village will be a sanctuary of sustainable luxury.
Upscale, eco-conscious home buyers are taking notice of this new – and final – neighborhood at Windsor that is limited to only 34 homesites and six Row Houses. The rest of the 47-acre site will be devoted to preserving nature and enhancing the well-being of residents. Wellness-focused amenities include a kayak launch on the serene Indian River Lagoon, scenic trails, boardwalks, and a Fitness and Wellness Centre. A wildlife observation tower will showcase majestic views of the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge to the north and the Historic Jungle Trail to the west.
Planned as a seamless extension of the existing Windsor community, the North Village will offer a more contemporary take on the signature AngloCaribbean architecture, with an increased focus on energy efficiency. Homes will be strategically positioned to take advantage of tranquil water views, and landscaping will emphasize the use of native plant species. New Urbanism pioneer Andrés Duany of DPZ CoDesign, who played a major role in Windsor’s original design plan, is helping shape the plan for the North Village.
The environmental impact of the new neighborhood will be minimized through careful site preparation and ongoing monitoring. To recreate the native hammock that once thrived on this site, Windsor is repositioning more than 2,300 oak and palm trees as well as adding about 700 sabal palm trees and thousands of other understory trees and plants. A study conducted onsite by a leading bird scholar armed the Windsor team with knowledge about which birds will likely use the property with proper habitat.
Residents of the North Village will enjoy access to all of Windsor’s amenities including an 18-hole championship golf course, Equestrian Centre with polo field, world-class dining venues and an art gallery.
The new neighborhood shows the evolution of Windsor, an aspirational private sporting community that set out to create a vibrant indoor-outdoor lifestyle with healthy social interaction. The North Village retains Windsor’s best ideas but steps up its efforts to reduce its ecological footprint and allow residents to live more in harmony with nature.
Pricing for remaining homesites starts at $1,175,000.

Windsor Style
ANNUAL HOME & GARDEN TOUR EXPANDS TO THREE DESIGN-FILLED DAYS
Architecture and vibrant gardens were both on display during the inaugural Windsor Style event, an expanded annual Home & Garden Tour held April 10-12.
Now a fundraiser for the Windsor Charitable Foundation and aptly named Windsor Style, the event featured three days of design-inspired events and activities.
The weekend kicked off at the Town Hall with a Thursday afternoon panel discussion titled “Art, Design and Landscape at Windsor: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.”
Hadley Keller, who authored Beachside: Windsor Architecture and Design, moderated the panel that included top interior designers, Ellen Hamilton, Melissa Lindsay, and Jean Liu, landscape architect Renée Byers, and art advisor Aileen Agopian. Also on the panel was Jill Sieracki, managing editor of Galerie magazine, which co-sponsored the event.
Following the lively discussion was a reception at The Gallery at Windsor featuring wines generously donated by Dry Farm Wines, a luxury purveyor of rare organic European wines.
The next morning, Windsor Members and guests enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at four unique properties with a final stop at the bloom-filled community butterfly garden.
Following the Friday morning home tour was a luncheon featuring guest speaker James Brayton Hall, president and CEO of The Garden Conservancy, which works to preserve and celebrate gardens. He told attendees that we are experiencing a new golden age of gardens where sustainability is playing a key role.
Brayton Hall also made mention of McKee Gardens, a Vero Beach landmark that recently received the prestigious Jean and John Greene Prize for Excellence in American Gardening. The accompanying $45,000 grant, he said, will help with the development of a strategic five-year business plan to ensure the garden’s continued growth and long-term financial sustainability.
Elevating this year’s Home & Garden Tour experience was an enticing Trunk Show in the Village Centre featuring a carefully curated selection of goods by luxury retailers. Vendors set up their wares in the Windsor Suites, under the Pergola, and in the Concierge’s reception area, boardroom and butterfly garden.
Retailers donated 15% of gross sales to benefit the Windsor Charitable Foundation, which raises funds from within the Windsor community and through fundraising events to help fund important programs offered by local charitable organizations. Grants are primarily awarded to support basic human needs such as food, shelter, assistance with disabilities and health issues, children’s education, medical research, environmental protection and animal advocacy.

In Memoria
LÉON KRIER
APRIL 7, 1946 – JUNE 17, 2025
Designed by noted architect Léon Krier, Windsor’s Town Hall is revered in architectural circles. Completed in 2000, this striking building symbolizes Windsor’s commitment to the New Urbanism principle of creating public buildings that are beautiful, comfortable, and functional for the community.
The iconic building also stands as a testament to the strong vision of Krier, who died at 79 on Tuesday, June 17, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Léon Krier was an urban theorist and one of the most significant voices in the New Urbanist movement.
Pleased with what he had created at Windsor, Krier once described the Town Hall by saying, “The monumentality of its scale, the sheer repetition of its elements proclaim its exceptional status as shelter and symbol of the community.”
Making reference to Windsor’s Anglo-Caribbean architecture, Krier used pillars, a steep roofline and repetitive half-moon cutouts to dramatic effect to create an awe-inspiring building that serves as both a place of worship and a space for the community to gather. Ensuring comfort, the Town Hall boasts an airy and voluminous interior with multiple doors that allow cross-breezes and natural light to filter through the arched windows.
In harmony with its surroundings, the structure stands prominently in the Village Centre, eliciting strong emotions that help Windsor evoke a distinct sense of place.
“The Town Hall is a place of deep connection in our community, and we are proud to have such an important part of Léon Krier’s legacy at Windsor,” said Betsy Hanley, President of Windsor Real Estate, Inc.
Born in Luxembourg in 1946, Krier trained briefly at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, before abandoning his formal studies and joining the London architectural practice of James Stirling. He later taught at the Architectural Association and the Royal College of Art, London, where he became known for his critiques of modernism and his belief in the civic value of traditional architecture.
Even though traditional architecture had been minimized in academic and professional circles, Krier stood firm in his commitment to advocate for a return to walkable neighborhoods with human-scale development and timehonored architecture.
Defending his New Urbanist approach to placemaking, Krier said, “Traditional architecture and urbanism is not an ideology, religion, or transcendental system. It cannot save lost souls or give meaning to empty lives. It is a body of knowledge and know-how allowing us to build practically, aesthetically, socially and economically satisfying cities and structures. Such structures do not ensure happiness, but they certainly facilitate the pursuit of happiness for a large majority of people.”
Through his publications, lectures, and town designs, Krier eventually rekindled an appreciation for tradition and community-building. One of his most known works is Poundbury, a project in England modeled on an 18th-century English village.
Endorsed by King Charles III while he was still Prince of Wales, Poundbury was planned in the 1980s as a sustainable, pedestrian-friendly town with traditional
architecture and narrow, winding streets. Many of the founding principles of Poundbury have since been incorporated into the British government’s national and local planning policy.
Krier believed that it’s still possible in today’s world to create beautiful, enduring communities where residents can comfortably live, work, and play, and where neighbors can connect in meaningful ways.
The Town Hall is a place of deep connection in our community, and we are proud to have such an important part of Léon Krier’s legacy at Windsor. ” ”
