Exhibit 5.1 [LETTERHEAD OF SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT] __________ __, 2001 WCI Communities, Inc. 24301 Walden Center Drive Suite 300 Bonita Springs, Florida 34134 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to WCI Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and to the subsidiaries of the Company named in Schedules I and II hereto (the "Guarantors") in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Company and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Exchange Securities") and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the "Guarantees"), with respect to the Exchange Securities. The Exchange Securities and the Guarantees will be issued under an indenture dated as of February 20, 2001 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Exchange Securities will be offered by the Company in exchange for $250,000,000 aggregate
EX-5.12nd Page of 6TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 2nd
2 principal amount of its outstanding 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Securities"). We have examined the Registration Statement and the Indenture (including the form of the Exchange Securities set forth among the exhibits thereto), which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, instruments and other documents and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors. In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee. We have assumed further that (1) subsidiaries of the Company named in Schedule II (the "Non-Delaware Guarantors") have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture under any applicable laws (excepting the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States) and (2) execution, delivery and performance by the Non-Delaware Guarantors of the Indenture and their Guarantees do not and will not violate any applicable laws (excepting the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States. Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

3 1. When the Exchange Securities have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture in exchange for the Securities, the Exchange Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. 2. When the Exchange Securities have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture in exchange for the Securities, the Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the subsidiaries of the Company named in Schedule I (the "Delaware Guarantors") enforceable against the Delaware Guarantors in accordance with their terms. Our opinions set forth above are subject to the effects of (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (2) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (3) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing), the law of the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Experts" in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT
