With scenic trails, landscaping that supports native flora and fauna, and quiet places to pause and take in peaceful views, the North Village will foster wellbeing.
A FRESH PRESPECTIVE
Introduction
With the development of the North Village, Windsor completes the final phase of a passion project begun by co-founders W. Galen and Hilary M. Weston over three decades ago. The North Village is at once a seamless expansion of this beloved seaside community, and a fresh new vision for it. Inspired both by past success and future possibilities, it builds on the thoughtfully crafted master plan and elegant architectural aesthetic established by pioneering New Urbanism architects Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk while introducing an even greater commitment to sustainability
A LASTING LEGACY
Nature & Sustainability
The final phase of Windsor, the North Village is at once a seamless expansion of this beloved seaside community, and a fresh new vision for it. Based upon the principles of the New Urbanism movement and enhanced with heightened focus on sustainability, it offers a mix of residences, green civic spaces and new amenities.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better

A Natural Tapestry
Landscaping inspired by the Indian River Lagoon’s rich ecology is a feast for the senses, a horticultural tapestry of native plant species selected for color, scent and suitability for the barrier island’s particular climate. It is an environment in which wildlife can continue to flourish.
RESIDENCES
Encompassing 47 acres adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon, and featuring an estuary and a sparkling freshwater lake, the North Village is a natural and complementary extension of the existing Windsor community. America’s leading New Urbanism proponents, DPZ CoDESIGN, have designed the master plan, focusing on principles of sustainability, walkability, healthy living, and community values. A mix of 34 single-family residences and six Row Houses as well as new amenities will be built around the estuary and lake, providing opportunities for soothing water views.
When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.

Architectural Refinements
Windsor’s iconic Anglo-Caribbean architectural language will be subtly modified to engender a more contemporary aesthetic and incorporate sustainable building practices. This will open the door for a new generation of architects to realize their most ambitious visions on behalf of Members.
Nature At The Fore
The North Village quietly champions a holistic, thoughtfully integrated approach to sustainable living. From unique outdoor experiences across the lush landscape to a residential design code that brings sustainability home, nature is at the fore.
AMENITIES ABOUND
Windsor is a legacy endeavor for the Weston family. Just as Mr. and Mrs. Weston worked together to establish the community in the early 1990s, now Mrs. Weston and daughter Alannah Weston have shaped an evolved vision for Windsor’s North Village. Based upon the principles of the New Urbanism movement, their vision is enhanced with heightened focus on sustainability to ensure the North Village can be enjoyed for generations to come. A mix of residences, green public spaces and new amenities will combine to create an experience that balances privacy and community.
Art will never be able to exist without nature.
