According to the media page on his website, there are previous projects in existence. If you believe the pictures, they are quite nice looking.

I question tbe decision to have seniors in a 6-story building. They will be up a creek without a paddle if there is an emergency that requires a partial or full evacuation.

Especially if wood construction is employed. Seems all the rage with too much frequency recently. Just wait when a sprinkler system fails due to a faulty sensor and inadequate fire inspections.

I looked at the site, which is nicely done. However, I'm just not sure these lovely pictures aren't conceptual. If you look further, it looks like bonds were recently floated to acquire financing. I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something.

That said, I still think all this, or most of it, is pure speculation. We haven't really heard from the horse's mouth yet, have we? Did the online paper credit it's source? As I said, I could have missed something.

Why did Wildwood turn down The Villages for 800 homes but don't seem to have a problem with this plan which is much worse?

My husband is of the same opinion. He'll believe it when the shovels show up.

I think this development will provide a measure of competition for TV. Competition is a good thing for the consumers ( us ). Bring it on.

Take a tour of Wildwood and you'll see its planning history.

I guess you will be disappointed with the TV hospital, Freedom Point, or the hundreds of high rise condos retirees live in.

You make a very good point. The proposal is for three year leases. There will be very few snowbirds in this complex.

"Worse " is a matter of perspective. In this case Wildwood would reap far more in taxes into perpetuity. Follow the$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Would you have that same sentiment if it was in your backyard?

I imagine the previous owners(farmers, ranchers?) of that land had the same sentiment when TV developed right up to their property. Anyone who buys a house in TV bordering on privately owned property should realize anything may be built right up to their property line.
