"This groundbreaking ceremony marks an exciting step as we move closer to making this unique community a reality," said Lawrence Lane, the division president for Del Webb in the Raleigh/Durham market.  "Del Webb has been building active adult communities for more than 50 years, but this is the first time we've introduced our legendary Del Webb lifestyle concept in the city of Durham.  We expect Carolina Arbors to attract people who want to enjoy an active retirement without having to move away from family and the familiarity of the community where they've spent much of their lives."
