Checked out Tradition in Port St Lucie in 2008. A developer had a large piece of land designated to be a 55 and over community. Four or five structures were built to represent the models to choose from. They looked like a home from the outside but were totally unfinished on the inside. They sat there all alone as the developer went bankrupt. The plan originally was to tear them down as the project advanced. Later that year saw the same thing at a WCI development in Sun City Center.
Could be the same story in twoplanes' photo. Anyhow, 2008 was a bad time for homebuilders in Florida, because the euphoria was still fresh when the crash hit. That's what is and still is amazing about The Villages; the developer has a visioned long term plan that that takes the risk out of buying and provides a future with little worry.
