I believe the OP is describing the beginnings of the Village of Moultrie Creek, which I was told had always been intended to be the first new Village to be built south of the turnpike. The strategy appears to be to build from the bottom up in that section of TV-although the undergrounds are looking pretty advanced in the northern section of Well Point-so maybe they'll start north and south and meet in Eastport (taking some liberties with directions here, so as not to confuse). Whether they are model homes or not is speculative I think-there are certainly designer neighborhoods being built without it being a 'lot choice' first-lots of already built designer homes for sale right now (I just bought one in Lake Denham). The strategy seems to be to mix some lot choice neighborhoods with some prebuilt no-choice designer neighborhoods.
I'm finding it unlikely that there will be a new set of 'model' homes down by the High School/Shallow Creek when the existing model homes in Newell (on Meredith Terrace etc.) are still perfectly viable. I don't have any inside information-just a lot of questions asked and answered during my home search (2nd home in TV for me).
