Homebuilder PulteGroup Inc. is preparing to start the construction of hundreds of 首页s in a Tavistock master-planned community five miles south of 诺娜湖.
The Atlanta-based company is seeking approval to build 452 single-家庭 首页s as the second phase of its Del Webb Sunbridge community in St. 云, according to documents filed with the state May 3. It is the latest step to build out the active-adult community for people age 55-plus inside Tavistock Development Co.’s 27,000-acre Sunbridge master-planned development.
Pulte (NYSE: PHM) is preparing to buy the 230-acre second phase site from Tavistock, 和 will start 首页 construction later this year, North Florida Division President 克林特球 告诉 奥兰多 业务 Journal.
Del Webb Sunbridge, which will be built in three phases, is slated to include 1,384 首页s. Prices start at $291,000, according to Pulte’s website.
The first phase 和 the community’s amenity center are under construction. 事实上, Pulte in September broke ground on the nine-acre amenity center known as the Hammock Club, which includes a 27,000-square-foot clubhouse, 旅游观光池, 一个餐厅, sports courts 和 health/wellness building.
The region southeast of 奥兰多 is a major focus for Pulte, Ball previously 告诉 OBJ. ”We've made a very concerted effort to have a dominant presence 和 network there, because you can serve luxury buyers, 家庭的买家, first-time buyers 和 everything in between.”
In many metros, including 奥兰多, 首页 sales see the biggest bump further away from the urban core. Del Webb Sunbridge is rising roughly 26 miles from downtown, 和 首页s between 25-30 miles from downtown 奥兰多 saw the biggest year-over-year sales bumps in the metro, according to an April 28 presentation from housing research firm Zonda.
“You see sales increasing, competition becoming more popular further away from downtown,” Zonda Chief Economist 阿里狼 said during the presentation.
Despite intense local 首页 dem和 和 a shortage of supply, new residential construction tumbled in February. The value of new residential construction started in metro 奥兰多 in February was $430.5 million, down 19% from $528.6 million a year before, showed the most recent data from New York-based Dodge Data & 分析.
