Tavistock to start construction on its 24,000-acre Sunbridge

Lake Nona developer Tavistock Development Co. LLC has beefed up plans for a portion of  its 24,000-acre, cross-county Sunbridge development.

Tavistock may start construction as early as February on the 2,700-acre Osceola County piece of its future development that crosses the line into Orange County, a spokeswoman told Orlando Business Journal. The developer is seeking approvals from Osceola County on an updated development plan for that portion of a total of 19,560 acres in future development after winning approvals for a different plan in July 2017.

The current requests before the Osceola County development review committee are for:

• 3,198 single-family homes
• 1,434 apartments
• 2.5 million square feet of office space
• 180,430 square feet of civic space
• 450 hotel rooms
• Two schools

The county’s development review committee will make a recommendation on the proposal at a Dec. 5 meeting. Approvals typically take months or years as plans can be stalled, delayed or changed for various reasons.
