Today those numbers may be 70% development and 30% other. (just a guess) As they come closer to the end the % will shift right up until the last new home is sold. Will that last year be 20% development 80% other? If it's even 50% I would think that would be a very difficult business to work away from. Even if sold, that business is 95% dependant on the Villages remaining a viable community to support it. So how much of the commercial real estate do they still own and rent? Town squares, along 466 and soon to be 466a retail space? Country clubs, championship golf courses, restaurants, and many other service related businesses. If that was known, you would be better able to project how long it is in their best interest to keep everything running like it is today.

YEP.. THEY A PIECE OF THE ACTION ON EVRY DOLLAR SPENT ON VILLAGES COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.... THEY WILL NOT LET GO OF THE OLD CASH COW...mooooooooooooooo THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT SCREW THE POOCH IS THE DISTRICTS MANAGED BY RESIDENTS.... WILL HAVE TO SEE
