Hanson Preserve in Cooper City: The New Construction Guide (Floor Plans, Pricing, What to Know)

If you searched hanson preserve cooper-city new construction because you saw the Toll Brothers sign go up at Griffin Road and SW 106th Avenue, here is the direct answer: Hanson Preserve is a gated, boutique community of only 38 single-family homesites, priced from an anticipated $1,500,000s, with one- and two-story floor plans between 2,325 and over 4,056 square feet under air. It is currently in “Coming Soon” status, which means pricing, HOA figures, and the final site plan are not locked yet. This guide walks through everything a serious buyer needs to know before calling Toll Brothers’ sales line.

I am not going to sell you on the fantasy version of this community. I am going to give you the real numbers, the real tradeoffs, and the real questions to ask before you put down a deposit.

Hanson Preserve Cooper City New Construction: The Quick Answer

Toll Brothers is building Hanson Preserve at Griffin Road and SW 106th Avenue in Cooper City, Broward County. It is a small, gated enclave, just 38 homesites, which tells you Toll Brothers is positioning this as an exclusive, low-density product rather than a mass-produced subdivision. That matters. Fewer homes usually means tighter architectural control, more privacy between neighbors, and (eventually) less new-home competition when you go to resell.

The community is not open for sale yet. Toll Brothers is running a VIP early-access list through its online sales team (855-776-8655, call, text, or chat) to notify interested buyers when homesites release and pricing goes final. If you are serious, get on that list now. Boutique communities with 38 lots do not stay in pre-launch long once word gets out in Cooper City.

Where Hanson Preserve Sits, and Why the Location Is the Real Selling Point

The address is Griffin Road and SW 106th Avenue, Cooper City, FL 33328. If you know Cooper City, you know that corner. It puts you close to I-75, which means Miami-Dade, downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the Sawgrass corridor are all realistic commutes without forcing you onto University Drive during rush hour. Toll Brothers is marketing it as under 30 minutes to the coastline (Las Olas and the greater Fort Lauderdale beaches), which lines up with typical off-peak drive times from that part of Cooper City.

The tradeoff you need to understand

Cooper City is landlocked. You are not buying proximity to the water, you are buying proximity to everything else: I-75 access, the Sawgrass Expressway, Griffin Road retail, and a school zone that Broward parents specifically move for. If beach walkability is your priority, Hanson Preserve is not your community and you should be looking closer to the Intracoastal instead. If your priority is a quiet, gated, low-density neighborhood inside one of Broward’s best public school zones with a fast highway on-ramp, this location does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Griffin Road itself is a working corridor, not a scenic one, so expect commercial traffic and standard South Florida arterial road noise near the entrance. Toll Brothers is gating the community for a reason. Ask specifically how far the closest homesites sit from Griffin Road when you tour, because lot position inside a 38-home community can swing your day-to-day experience more than the floor plan does.

The Floor Plan Lineup: Five Homes, Different Buyers

Toll Brothers has published five floor plans for Hanson Preserve so far. Here is the honest breakdown of who each one actually fits.

Lauderdale (Coastal, single-story)

Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, two-car garage, starting at 2,325+ square feet under air. This is the entry point into the community, and it is a single story, which matters if you are buying for aging parents, want to avoid stairs, or just prefer a ranch-style layout. In a community priced from the $1,500,000s, this is likely to be the most attainable plan on a per-square-foot basis, though “attainable” is relative here.

Davie (Farmhouse, two-story)

Four bedrooms, three baths, three-car garage, 2,915+ square feet. The farmhouse elevation and the three-car garage make this one of the more practical family layouts in the lineup, especially if you have multiple vehicles or want workshop or storage space that a two-car garage does not give you.

Aventura (Craftsman, two-story)

Three bedrooms, four baths, two-car garage, 3,096+ square feet, and the one detail worth flagging: a first-floor primary suite. That is unusual in a two-story new-construction plan and it is a real differentiator if you want single-level living for the primary bedroom without giving up a second story for kids or guests.

Pinecrest (Coastal, two-story)

Four to five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, two-car garage, 3,951+ square feet. This is the decorated model home plan, which means it is the one Toll Brothers is using to sell the lifestyle. Expect the model to be dressed with upgrades well beyond base price, so when you tour it, ask the sales rep to itemize exactly what is standard versus what was added for the model.

Haverhill (Coastal, two-story)

Five bedrooms, 5.5 baths, three-car garage, 4,056+ square feet. This is the largest plan Toll Brothers has released for the community and the one most likely to sit at the top of the price range. If you need a dedicated home office plus five true bedrooms, this is the plan built for that.

What the lineup tells you about the buyer profile

Every plan here skews toward growing or established families, not empty nesters looking to downsize. The smallest plan is still over 2,300 square feet with three bedrooms. Toll Brothers is clearly targeting move-up buyers in Cooper City and surrounding Broward suburbs who want a bigger, newer home inside the same school zone they already know, not first-time buyers. If you are earlier in your homebuying journey and Hanson Preserve’s price point is a stretch, our guide to the best suburbs for first-time home buyers in the Fort Lauderdale area covers more accessible entry points around the metro.

Included Features and the Design Studio Reality

Toll Brothers builds through its Southeast Florida Design Studio, which means base price gets you the shell, the standard finishes, and the floor plan. Anything beyond that (upgraded cabinetry, flooring upgrades, outdoor kitchens, impact window packages beyond code minimum, primary closet builds) goes through the design studio as an added cost. This is standard for Toll Brothers across South Florida, and it is worth budgeting for upfront rather than being surprised at your design appointment.

Across the lineup, expect optional lofts, flex rooms, balconies, and covered lanais depending on the plan. Toll Brothers also offers quick move-in homes with what they call “Designer Appointed Features,” which are pre-selected upgrade packages. These are worth asking about specifically if you want a shorter timeline and do not want to sit through the full design studio process. Quick move-in inventory tends to move fast in gated boutique communities because buyers who want speed over customization gravitate toward it immediately.

The honest take on new construction included features

Toll Brothers homes are well-built and the base specification (impact windows, concrete block construction typical of the region, modern HVAC) is solid. But “starting at” square footage and “from” pricing in every Toll Brothers listing is a base configuration, not what most buyers actually end up paying. If you are cross-shopping, our broader piece on whether new construction is worth it in the Fort Lauderdale metro right now walks through how to evaluate the premium you pay for new construction against what you get for it.

Pricing and Financing: What’s Real Right Now

Toll Brothers is anticipating pricing from the $1,500,000s for Hanson Preserve. I want to be direct about what that means at this stage: it is a pre-launch estimate, not a locked number. Anticipated pricing on a Coming Soon community can move before the first homesite actually goes on sale, in either direction, depending on how the local market is performing when Toll Brothers opens the community.

At the time this community was captured, Toll Brothers was advertising a promotional financing rate of 3.99% (6.04% APR) on a 30-year fixed loan, structured as a 2/1 buydown. That means your effective rate is lower in year one, steps up in year two, and lands at the full note rate from year three forward. Buydown promotions like this change month to month based on Toll Brothers’ capital markets arrangements, so verify the current offer directly with the sales team rather than assuming this rate still applies when you call.

What this actually costs monthly

On a $1,500,000 loan at a 6.04% APR fixed rate, you are looking at a principal and interest payment north of $9,000 a month before taxes, insurance, and any HOA or CDD assessment. Run your own numbers with a lender before you fall in love with a floor plan. Toll Brothers’ in-house lending arm will happily prequalify you, but get a second quote from an independent lender too so you know the promotional rate is actually competitive and not just convenient.

HOA and CDD: The Part Toll Brothers Hasn’t Published Yet

This is the section buyers skip and then regret skipping. Toll Brothers has not released HOA or CDD figures for Hanson Preserve. That is normal for a pre-launch community, since the association budget usually finalizes closer to the sales opening. But it is not optional information, it is essential information, and you need to get it in writing before you sign a purchase agreement, not after.

Here is why it matters specifically at this price point. A gated, amenitized 38-home community will carry HOA dues to cover the gate, landscaping, and any shared common areas. Given the size and price positioning, do not be surprised if dues land meaningfully higher than a large production community, since the cost of maintaining gates and common areas gets split across far fewer homeowners. Whether a CDD (Community Development District) assessment applies depends on how the land was originally platted and financed, and Toll Brothers has not disclosed that yet either.

If you have shopped other new Broward and Palm Beach communities, you already know CDD assessments can add several hundred dollars a month on top of HOA dues, and they are often amortized over 20 to 30 years as a lien against the property, not a fee you can simply decide to stop paying. Compare this directly against communities where the numbers are already public. Our reviews of Estates by Turnberry and Saltgrass at Heron Bay both break down real, published HOA and CDD numbers so you can see what “normal” looks like for a gated new-construction community in this price range, and use that as your benchmark question when you sit down with the Hanson Preserve sales team.

The question to ask at your first appointment

Do not ask “what are the HOA fees.” Ask: “What is the anticipated HOA budget, is there a CDD attached to this land, and if so, what is the estimated annual assessment per homesite.” Get the answer in writing, even if it is labeled preliminary. A verbal estimate from a sales rep is not something you can hold anyone to later.

Schools: The Reason Families Target Cooper City Specifically

Hanson Preserve sits inside the Broward County School District’s Cooper City zone, which is consistently one of the most sought-after public school zones in the county. This is not incidental to Toll Brothers’ pricing strategy, it is the core of it. Families who could buy a bigger house for less money elsewhere in Broward specifically pay the Cooper City premium because of the school zone, and that demand is a big part of why land in this pocket supports $1,500,000-plus new construction pricing in the first place.

If schools are the deciding factor in your search and you want to see how Cooper City stacks up against other Broward and Palm Beach family suburbs before committing, our guide on choosing the best suburb in the Fort Lauderdale area for your family is a useful side-by-side before you narrow in on one builder and one community.

One caveat worth stating plainly: always verify your specific homesite’s school assignment directly with Broward County Public Schools before you buy, not just the general “Cooper City” label from the builder’s marketing. Zone boundaries can be more specific than a community’s overall reputation suggests, and boundaries do occasionally shift.

How to Approach Toll Brothers on a Coming Soon Community

Buying into a pre-launch, 38-home boutique community is a different process than buying resale or even buying into an established, actively-selling new construction phase. Here is how to actually do it right.

1. Get on the VIP list now, but treat it as information gathering, not commitment

Getting on Toll Brothers’ VIP early-access list costs you nothing and gets you first notice when pricing and homesite maps go live. It does not obligate you to buy. Use this stage to ask every question above (HOA, CDD, school zoning, lot positions relative to Griffin Road) before homesites are released and the pressure to decide quickly kicks in.

2. Understand that early pricing on a small community moves fast

With only 38 homesites, Toll Brothers does not need to run a long, patient sales process. Boutique gated communities in strong school zones tend to sell through faster than large production communities, because there is inherently less inventory competing for the same buyer pool. If Hanson Preserve is genuinely your top choice, do not treat “Coming Soon” as a reason to wait indefinitely. Do your homework now so you can move when homesites actually release.

3. Negotiate on the things that are actually negotiable

Base price on a hot pre-launch community is rarely where you get movement. Design studio credits, quick move-in home discounts, and financing incentives (like the 2/1 buydown) are where Toll Brothers typically has more flexibility. Ask specifically what incentives apply to quick move-in inventory versus to-be-built homesites, since they are frequently structured differently.

4. Bring your own inspector and your own lender, even with a national builder

Toll Brothers has a strong reputation in South Florida, but that does not replace an independent third-party inspection at your pre-drywall and final walkthrough stages. And even if the in-house lending incentive rate looks good, get a competing quote. A half-point difference in rate on a $1,500,000 loan is a meaningful monthly swing.

Who Hanson Preserve Actually Fits

Being direct about this: Hanson Preserve is built for a move-up family buyer who already values the Cooper City school zone, wants a new, low-density, gated home in the $1,500,000-plus range, and does not need beach proximity as part of the deal. It is not the right fit if you are priced out of that range, if waterfront or walkable beach living is a priority, or if you want a large amenity package (clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center) since a 38-home boutique community is unlikely to support that scale of amenity.

If you are still comparing options across the broader new-construction landscape near Fort Lauderdale, our roundup of the best new construction communities near Fort Lauderdale, ranked by price and fit, is a good next stop, and if you have not settled on new construction over resale yet, new construction versus resale in Broward County walks through the real cost and timeline tradeoffs between the two paths.

The Bottom Line

Hanson Preserve is Toll Brothers doing what Toll Brothers does well: a tightly controlled, gated, low-density community in a school zone families already want, with a floor plan lineup built for people who are moving up, not moving in for the first time. The pricing anticipated from the $1,500,000s is real, but it is not final, and neither are the HOA and CDD figures. Get those numbers in writing before you commit, verify your specific homesite’s school assignment, and understand that a 38-lot community in Cooper City is not going to sit unsold for long once it officially opens.

If you want a second set of eyes on how Hanson Preserve compares to what else is available right now in Broward at this price point, that is exactly the kind of conversation worth having before you put down a deposit, not after.
