The Leesburg property is another 2000 acres, and I haven't heard how many homes are planned for that property and don't think that has been worked out.

Is the 11,000 homes referred to above part of the 14,000 homes below 44? That seems like too many since Fenney will have about 4,000 itself, and there will be 4 or 5 other villages as well.

From what I can tell, the final totals for everything south of 44 that has been announced thus far will be 10,000 acres and probably between 16,000 and 17,000 homes, depending on how many they put on the Leesburg property that was just acquired.
Doing some math calculations . . . Say the developer can build 250 homes a month (is that possible?) 11,000 homes built at the rate of 250 homes a month would take 44 months. 16,000 homes built at the rate of 250 homes a month would take 64 months. That's good news for us TV wannabees/future villagers and also for the construction workers, electricians, plumbers, roofers, etc. who need to put food on their tables and a roof over their heads.
