Construction has begun at Townes at Mirada, Lagoon-Front New Construction Townhomes by DRB Homes
Construction is underway at the Townes at Mirada, a new gated townhome community by DRB Homes, located in the heart of San Antonio, Florida. Nestled within the nation's largest man-made lagoon development, this project is drawing growing interest as it moves toward an anticipated mid to late summer sales launch. While pricing and floorplan details have yet to be officially released, construction of the model home is in progress and new architectural elevations are being introduced exclusively for this community. According to builder representatives, floorplans are expected to range between approximately 1,700 and 2,000 square feet and these are expected to be the only lagoon front townhomes in the community. Located just 10 minutes from the award-winning Epperson Lagoon community, the Townes at Mirada offers a rare opportunity for luxury townhome living in a resort-style setting. The centerpiece of the development is the 15-acre Mirada Lagoon, which provides residents with access to water sport recreation, beach-style lounging, miles of walking and golf cart trails, and year-round amenities. 'My DRB contact mentioned that he and his sales associates are excited because the developer is launching all new elevations at the Townes at Mirada, and they're on the edge of their seats waiting to see the final product,' said Damon Greene, an independent real estate agent with REAL Brokerage. 'This project is one to watch.' Greene, who specializes in new construction townhomes throughout the Tampa Bay and St. Pete markets, has been following the Mirada community closely and is also a resident. Known as The Luxury New Construction Townhome Guy and The Iconic Agent, Greene is not affiliated with DRB Homes but regularly provides construction updates and insight into new communities for interested buyers. 'There's a lot we don't know yet—final floorplans, exact pricing—but what we do know is this community will be something special,' Greene said. 'I'm here to help clients navigate the process from preview to purchase and beyond.' Mirada is part of Florida's Connected City initiative, which includes smart infrastructure, high-speed gigabit internet, and integrated services. The Townes at Mirada community will also include HOA-covered Wi-Fi, cable TV services, and family lagoon access, adding to its appeal for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle. 'These townhomes don't feel like townhomes. I toured a similar DRB build at the sister property Epperson and was impressed by the design—it felt more like a single-family home,' Greene added. 'Lots of natural light, well-thought-out floorplans, and great curb appeal. I've even considered purchasing one for myself in the upcoming year. The DRB townhomes are by far the nicest townhomes at the lagoons.' Greene reports that progress at the Townes at Mirada is moving quickly, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks. He plans to provide ongoing updates to keep potential buyers informed as additional details are released.

Dola, Rahul launch their archery academy in Capital
New Delhi: India's Olympian archery siblings Dola and Rahul Banerjee inaugurated their academy at the Sports Authority of India's archery ground in the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium complex on Sunday. With focus on recurve archery, the academy will be the first of its kind in the Capital as the siblings, even after their retirement, hope to pursue their quest to end India's wait for an Olympic medal in the discipline. Taking their dreams ahead are archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das. The couple was present at the inauguration as the India squad is gearing up to leave for Shanghai for the second stage of the World Cup from May 6 to 11. 'Since the Paris Olympics, Deepika and Atanu have started training in our Kolkata academy,' said Rahul. 'We don't have any other archery academy run by Olympians. This is one of a kind and the best thing about this academy is learning from their experience. Their mental and technical inputs have been really effective. Both Dola didi and Rahul are aware of the latest developments and they bring in a new outlook to tackling technical issues,' said Deepika, who along with Atanu is preparing for the World Championships to be held in Gwangju, South Korea, from September 5 to 12. The DRB (Dola and Rahul Banerjee) Sport Foundation already has two academies in Kolkata and offers consultation to the Bengal's state academy in Jhargram and the Swami Vivekananda State Police Academy in Barrackpore. There are DRB academies also at the KIIT University, Odisha and in Haldia, West Bengal. 'When Sports Authority of India (SAI) decided to outsource the archery academy at JLN Stadium, we jumped in. Our biggest draw was the Capital city and the location of this stadium. We wanted our presence in north India. Archers in the NCR and the whole of northern part of India can train here,' Dola Banerjee, the first Indian to win an individual World Cup Final gold, said. 'We are also setting up an academy in the tribal dominated area of Latehar in Jharkhand and we have an academy in Lanjhigarh, another tribal dominated area (in Kalahandi district) of Odisha,' Dola added. 'Didi and I are planning to visit all our academies in a rotational manner. The idea is to increase the pool of archers as much as possible. We will work more closely with the archers who show good potential,' Rahul Banerjee, the 2010 New Delhi CWG individual gold medal winner, said. 'The key to our academy will be providing every possible facility to the archers. We know the problems we faced when we were competing. We do not want our archers to face the same problems,' Rahul added.
