I can give you an example in my village of Tamarind Grove off St. Charles Blvd. Those who bought homes on the west side of TG on the streets Ansley Path and Tamarind Grove Run and in the Village of St. James on Chesapeake Place. When they purchased those homes new in 2011 and 2012 they had big open fields behind their homes with cows grazing. Here is a satellite map of how the land looked before 2017, the red line is TV boundary.

That all changed in 2017 when they started excavation there was a dust storm for six months in our area and those homes now have backyard views of the back of Lowes, Publix and soon to be built Apartments. That's Trailwinds Village, a commercial park. TV offered to buy the land but the City of Wildwood wouldn't approve the purchase, they didn't want another 2,000 new homes. Honestly I glad they didn't, the golf courses in our area would of been saturated and 466A would of been unbearable. I appreciate those new stores. The lesson learned is, vacant land in Florida unless it's protected will be built on someday.
Here is how it looks now. I didn't mention Beaumont Properties, they are due west of Trailwinds have been building townhomes, Apartments and single family homes for past year. Those are directly south of Tamarind Grove Run on the west end.
