Schroeder-Manatee Ranch (SMR) is the parent company of Lakewood Ranch, a 33,000-acre master-planned community in Manatee and Sarasota Counties in Southwest Florida. Established in the early 1900s by the Uihlein family, SMR has evolved from cattle ranching and farming to community development, now home to nearly 60,000 residents and offering a range of amenities including town centers, schools, medical facilities, and recreational venues.
With a strong commitment to conservation and sustainability, SMR has preserved over 40% of the land for parks and green spaces, making Lakewood Ranch the largest green master-planned community in the nation. Through generations of careful planning and stewardship, SMR continues to provide a vibrant and environmentally responsible place for residents to live, work, and enjoy a high quality of life.
