Lennar, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, just received the thumbs-up on its 2,360-home Everlands West development from the Palm Bay City Council. The project is noted as one of the most ambitious residential projects for the city in recent memory. Lennar plans to build an estimated 1,600 single-family homes and 760 multi-family homes.
The project is especially interesting given the city’s new investment in the area, planning to devote around $19 million for water and sewer infrastructure investments. Full build-out for the Everlands West development is expected to reach completion in 2036. The project continues Lennar’s presence in the Palm Bay market, with five currently active communities.
“Both the existing and proposed future land use designations allow for significantly higher residential densities than what’s being proposed with this community, said But even with the flexibility, this project is being designed at just a low overall density of 1.96 dwelling units an acre. In addition, the plan preserves over 310 acres of wetlands in conservation areas, helping maintain that natural character of the site.”
