Not really.
It was pasture landheld future McDonalds hamburgers. Which is not always good for the ecology. There was some nasty materials left behind that needed to be mitigated and cleaned up.
The viable trees that were there were retained and will be maintained.
Many more trees are added during the "Florida friendly" landscaping phase.
There many new lakes, and they are generally larger than before. Similar to the chain of lakes in Linden/Monarch Grove. One lake just south of Central Parkway is close to a mile long.
And there's no question the diversity and population of the landscape and wildlife improves with all the lakes and added landscaping.
