LAKELAND, FL, November 1, 2022 - Over the past few decades, Florida has been barreling down the road towards commercial and residential development. Keeping this progress in mind, our advisors at SVN | Saunders Ralston Dantzler have worked hard to keep up with Florida’s growth and support its landowners. Most recently, Senior Advisors Clay Taylor, ALC and David Hitchcock, ALC, CCIM, brokered the sale of approximately 538 acres of residential development in Central Florida for a total of $30,000,000. This property is zoned for a master planned community located in the major growth sector of Osceola County.
“The property is near all the major attractions like Disney World and Universal,” Taylor said. “Plans for 1,000 housing units have been in place for the property to help keep pace with Florida's growth.”
The South Lake Toho Community features gorgeous lake frontage against the 23,000-acre Lake Toho. The fishing and boating lake offers access to the Kissimmee Chain which connects to Lake Okeechobee and both of Florida’s coasts.
“The site is perfect for high quality residential development and this property makes for a great investment,” said Hitchcock.
In its progress, SVN | Saunders Ralston Dantzler has become one of the biggest names in the Florida real estate market. The firm has brokered many parcels within Osceola County’s Mixed-Use Conceptual Master Plan and continues to serve within the area. This plan includes residential, recreational, and environmental uses aimed at creating a robust community. In 2021, Managing Director Dean Saunders and Senior Advisor Dusty Calderon championed another deal within this master plan that totaled almost 6,000 acres of ranchland zoned for mixed-use development. When the property closed, Green Island Ranch sold for $150,000,000.
More developmental plans are coming into fruition within Central Florida as more individuals and investor companies become more attracted to the growing market. SVN | Saunders Ralston Dantzler holds steady at the forefront of these developments as progress flourishes in the beautiful Sunshine State.
