I do have to laugh, people opposed the villages going in here because we have enough, homes, traffic and people. According to the online paper, " Last spring, The Villages proposed building more than 700 homes and support facilities on the Trailwinds property." Now we are looking at " This development on 153.6 acres by WholeLife Properties of Dallas would include 1,298 residential dwelling units, including apartments and townhouses" and " A revised plan for the separate Trailwinds development to the east on 131.5 acres calls for 296 homes". HMMMMMM, apartments and townhouses!!!!! Anyone want to guess what this will bring? At least with the villages, we knew we were getting 55 and over residents, but now?????
This new development will be reviewed by the Wildwood Planning and Zoning Board on Dec. 1. Attached is a page from the meeting agenda which shows the development which Wholelife proposes to build.

I don't know where the online newspaper got its numbers for homes, apartments and commercial. They appear to be grossly overstated.

If you enlarge the view of the attachment and look at the table, you will see: 400 residential single family, 300 residential apartments, 234,886 sq. ft. commercial, and 86,120 sq. ft. institutional.

Regarding the question, "guess what this will bring?" Look at Wholelife Companies, Inc -- wholelife-companies They appear to focus on the mature residents and appear to construct beautiful properties. For example the attachment shows that the proposed project will include a club house, courts for tennis, pickleball, bocce and croquet, an outside swimming pool and an inside lap pool.
