The announcement came at an exclusive luncheon event for members of the Fountaingate Gardens Founders Club, early adopters of the community and the lifestyle concept it will provide. Over 75 individuals and couples have already chosen their new homes and secured pre-construction pricing by placing a deposit on their future home.

Herbert H. Friedman, founding executivevice president and CEO of Gurwin, is now consulting on the Fountaingate Gardens project.

"We’re here to celebrate that Fountaingate Gardens will be a reality in just a few months, as we
are ready to break ground this coming spring," he said via press release. "We’ve been listening to the Founders Club members, further developing our plans, and now it is all about to come to fruition."

Friedman and Randy Carroll, Fountaingate Gardens’ sales & marketing director, toasted to
the Founders Club for their enthusiasm for the project and gifted them custom-engraved champagne flutes.

"Now, the next time you use these glasses, you’ll be celebrating the first day in your new home at Fountaingate Gardens," Carroll said.

The celebration took place Sept. 24 at The Hamlet Golf & Country Club in Commack, directly across the street from the future site of the community. Fountaingate Gardens’ newest site plan, floor plans and community renderings were shared with the Founders Club members before being released to the public.

"It was wonderful to see the updated renderings and hear a little more about what our new
community at Fountaingate Gardens will look like," said one Founders Club member who
attended the lunch with her husband. "We’ve been interested since the day we learned about
it; we can’t wait to move in."

Fountaingate Gardens is intended to provide people in the heart of Long Island a well-connected, wellness-focused active lifestyle alongside an array of new independent living apartment homes. Its status as a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, hopes to offer residents long-term peace of mind and financial security.
