New Square
 

Is it true that a new square is in the planning? Does anyone know the location.

Yes, it is being planned. At this time, only the planners know the location.

Not till Brownwood stores are 99% occupied

A very wise person told me the new town center will be just south of CR470.

Disney Springs

In 5 years yes

I heard the new Square will be round.

Look at current situation: Store and restaurant rents are based on hefty % of sales, so I bet those who are paying rent in Brownwood and other Squares and plazas like Colony ain't paying much. The Hotel is 10% occupied. The Emergency Care Center did not open. The Lofts are on ice. So I would say there's a lot of economic activity that has to come back before Morse ponies up any more investment...

And you know this how?

With the current economic state, I don't think new retail and dining is coming any time soon. With social distancing here to stay, City Fire will only be able to accomodate half its former capacity. So you're going to have to build a place twice as big to hold the same amount of patrons you had before. That doesn't make economic sense.

It is all going to be "virtual reality". Just put on your glasses, and there you are!!! You don't even have to go to be there! Now that is what I call epidemic planning!!!

Did they really stop moving forward with the Lofts at Brownwood? I can’t find the link on the villages.com anymore.

As a CPA, I have many business clients in the area. Need I say more?

Correct. Some of the original buyers in Fenney that got tremendous deals 3 years ago are now selling, taking a 6 figure profit and building again in Southern Oaks. Not a bad investment at all.

There is a lot of work going on south of 470 and west of 501 towards Sumterville. Have no idea what it is but trucks are running in and out of there all day long 5 and 6 days per week.

I walked around the outer perimeter of it yesterday (Thursday) and there was plenty of activity within.

True, but you are a very short golf cart ride from Tierra Del Sol, Hacienda Hills, Glenview, and Lopez. You are also not far from Palmer, Mallroy, Cane, and Orange Blossom. All via golf cart.

I think you will see a new square about the same time that all of the new restaurants and big box stores including Costco open on Rt 44.

There will eventually be a vaccine and they'll all get back to full capacity. This year and next will probably be a little lean but should be okay after that.

it's going to be located down the street from Trader Joe's and Costco

How many restaurants are in the villages of Caroline, Sunset Point, Mallory Square, Liberty Park, Buttonwood, etc., etc, etc.? There are only 12 villages that have golf after 4:00 so why are you singling out The Village of Fenney when there are so many villages that have one or no restaurants and no golf after 4???? Some villages have no golf and no restaurants.

I’m not sure they can stop the train

Fenney has a lot to offer
If your criteria is championship golf then Fenney loses for today. For tomorrow a championship golf course is planned

:ohdear: NOT in Fenney or Fenny..... south of 44 yes. :boom:

I was on that site just a few days ago. Also was in Brownwood twice yesterday (Woof Gang groomers), and there are construction workers all over the Lofts area.

The Championship Course will be in Bradford.

Dammm dogs can get a haircut but I can't! Woof!

They're moving dirt to the new haul yard, they do this all the time. Eventually the dirt will be moved back or to a new location. There was one at the corner of 468 and the turnpike, across from Everglades, 2 years ago and now it's gone and they are building in Meggison Rd. There is one now at 301 and Turnpike, the dirt has been there about 9 months. There is another scheduled at the north end of the West Lakes development area.

The only real construction work scheduled for south of 470 is the construction management building near the haul road.

You are correct

The new square will be built one year ahead of the builed out (date)!

:duck:

We bought in Marsh Bend because the salesman assured us the Magnolia Plaza would be up and running "Spring 2020." He also assured us the golf cart bridge from Marsh Bend/DeLuna to Brownwood would be finished "Spring/Summer 2020." A great price on the house is not so great now - and the Virus had nothing to do with it.

Please elaborate on why a great price is not so great now.

Amazing how much earth they move around, roughly 10 dump trucks a minute, 7 hrs a day, 6 days a week since January.

After living here a while, I began to realize that Dirt is an inventory item for the developer. In other words, I believe someone keeps track of how cubic yards of dirt are here, how many over there, etc. Then when it's needed somewhere else, they know where to send the trucks.

I live in Sunset Pointe....where you’ll find Cane Garden and it’s restaurant. The other direction down Bailey/Odell is Mallory. Ten minutes by golf cart to Palmer and Havana. I can be at 15 executive courses within 15 minutes. At night I can take a 10 minute ride to Sumter Landing on my golf cart. At least 15 restaurants to choose from.
Harold Schwartz and Gary Morse planned amenities first and home sales quickly followed.
I’m not sure that’s the current building plan

six figure profit ? really

Yes, lots of them, and documented via Sumter County Property Records as well as personal knowledge of friends who have sold and purchased even larger homes.

I have some land in south FL, you could build a little get away there. Great cash price.......any interest?:ho:
