Florida-based Margaritaville and Minto Communities USA announced that Latitude Margaritaville is expanding into Texas with initial sights set on the Austin, Dallas, and Houston markets.

Latitude Margaritaville communities are being developed by Minto and global lifestyle brand, Margaritaville. These adult communities, which are inspired by Buffett’s song writing, currently number three, Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach, Latitude Margaritaville Watersound near Panama City Beach and Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head, located near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

“I am impressed by the innovative placemaking and vision of the Latitude Margaritaville brand. Locations are carefully considered and must meet specific criteria to be selected for a community, including sufficient land; a temperate climate; proximity to an airport; convenient retail and service businesses, and nearby medical offices and hospitals. Another very important factor is convenient access to outstanding leisure-time activities in the surrounding area. Dallas, Austin, and Houston definitely meet these criteria,” said Scott Rogers, Minto’s newly appointed Vice President of Acquisition and Development for Texas.
