It used to be that if you saw Deseret Ranch at all, the only people you’d likely encounter would be working cowboys. Now, with the advent of Sunbridge, there’ll be everyday folks enjoying a nature-focused lifestyle in their new homes.

SUNBRIDGE HAS RANCHING ROOTS

The way Clint Beaty tells it, he almost has to pinch himselfwhen he thinks about his workday. Beaty, senior vice president of operations at Tavistock Development Company, is in charge of the company’s newest mega-development.

By strict definition, his job calls for leadership in shaping Sunbridge, which is set amid 27,000 acres of native Florida landscape across the Orange County line into northwest Osceola County.

As such, those duties encompass everything from entitlements and planning for horizontal and vertical development to sales and leasing. Beaty’s job runs the gamut.

And by all accounts, there are big plans for this emerging region, which is being touted as a “place of woods, water and wildlife yet so close to Metro Orlando.” Tavistock, a visionary company, says it will explore ideas about the “meaning of home” along with the “importance of town” and the “power of nature.”

Yet, Beaty’s own view of his function is as a steward. Sunbridge sits on a portion of the more than 300,000 acres that make up Deseret Ranch — which for decades has been coveted by real estate developers.

The ranch spans acreage along S.R. 528, the St. Johns River and U.S. Highway 192 — all Central Florida landmarks. It’s part of the massive local holdings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Clint Beaty, senior vice president of operations for Tavistock Development Company, feels a sense of honor and responsibility as Sunbridge takes shape on venerable private ranchland that most locals have never even seen.

But it couldn’t remain a ranch forever, smack dab in the middle of one of the fastest-growing regions of the country. And, gradually at first, development began.

In 2016, Tavistock announced a plan that involved more than 4,700 acres off S.R. 528 in east Orange County plus more than 19,000 acres in Osceola County.

The opening-phase proposal: 5,720 single-family homes and 1,650 multifamily units; 9 million square feet of commercial space (mostly offices); and 490 hotel rooms as well as 1,700 acres of preservation wetlands and upland buffers.

A 2016 Tavistock press release promoted a “community focused on preservation and innovation, with diverse residential neighborhoods and employment centers with miles of connected trails surrounded by thousands of acres of preserved conservation network.”

At the time, of course, Tavistock was (and still is) riding a wave of unbridled success at Lake Nona plus a portfolio of other nationally acclaimed communities, properties and experiences. It was, and remains, an established and conscientious industry leader that’s widely expected to deliver what it promises.

A RANCH WITH MySTIQUE

Deseret Ranch was founded in 1950. When much of the property that today encompasses the ranch was purchased by the Mormons, it consisted mostly of wiregrass and cut-over timberland considered to be of low quality.

With decades of effort, however, Deseret Ranch became a world-class operation for citrus, timber and beef cattle that was carefully managed for the long-term viability of wildlife populations. It’s a mosaic of pastures, citrus groves, wetlands and woodlands.

In his own way, Beaty, who was raised in Orlando, wants to maintain that integrity. He got started on Sunbridge in the spring of 2015. That, he says, is when he began “bringing birth” to the development.

“For me personally, having a hand in the development of the ranch is extremely special,” Beaty says. “I’m an old Florida guy, so looking at that landscape and being the caretaker of making sure that the development goes right and honors the heritage of that land — it really keeps me jazzed about the project.”

Beaty adds: “To have the primary influence on the development of the ranch, and to put the Tavistock label on it, is an honor. It’s like, ‘This is amazing. We’re going to get to do this.’”

He points to the allure of the property and the mystique behind it. “The land was always there,” he notes. “But, in some ways, unless you were on a hunting lease, it was always behind the fence. The public couldn’t see it. They didn’t know what it was.”

Not surprisingly, Beaty is perhaps most jazzed about three natural waterways on the property: Lake Nona, Buck Lake and Red Lake. They flow into Lake Tohopekaliga and the Kissimmee River Basin before eventually finding their way to Lake Okeechobee.

“What gets me really excited,” he says, “is to do development of this scale and protect the elements of nature, like the watershed and the water source.”

For Beaty, his work is the continuation of a legacy. “This is not just a random parcel of land that a company is taking to develop and bring to market,” he says. “I think it has a chance to be really special.”

TAKING THE LONG VIEW

Beaty isn’t alone in that assessment. Rob Adams, Tavistock’s vice president of residential development, shares Beaty’s belief in a deliberate, calculated approach to growth.

The key, adds Adams, is being correct in making “moving decisions” on targets that often are elusive. “We’re really thinking a few years ahead and trying to figure out what the market will be for what product,” he notes. “Also, where we think demand is going to be for those future places.”

Sunbridge sits on a portion of the more than 300,000 acres that make up Deseret Ranch — which for decades has been coveted by real estate developers. But it couldn’t remain a ranch forever, smack dab in the middle of one of the fastest-growing regions of the country.

As a case study, Adams cites Tavistock’s 17-square-mile community of Lake Nona and its now-thriving town center, located approximately five miles from Sunbridge. A few years ago, as the ambitious plans for Lake Nona Town Center were being rolled out, not every development pro thought the company’s thinking was wholly sound, given the project’s scale and density.

“Some people,” Adams says, “might have considered those plans a head-scratcher at the time.”

Today, however, the town center boasts some 4 million square feet of shopping, dining and entertainment space in addition to office buildings and hotel rooms. And Adams envisions the same promise at Sunbridge.

“Just to see what’s occurred there in the past 10 years [throughout Lake Nona] is super meaningful,” he says. “And we have a similar blank canvas in front of us with Sunbridge.”

Adams notes that Tavistock always takes the long view. “We’re going to be long-term owners of a lot of the commercial assets on site,” he says. “And so we’re really cognizant of trying to think ahead and be certain we’re not making a poor decision now that boxes us in on what we can do later.”

Much of that responsibility rests squarely on Beaty’s experienced shoulders. In 2007, he left as a senior vice president at CNL Financial Group in Orlando to join Tavistock as a vice president. In December, he advanced to senior vice president of operations.

Beaty has a proven track record of solving complex business situations, breaking them down and putting them back together — and then making them profitable. And, as a nod to his community spirit, his resumé also includes time as director of development and finance for Give Kids the World in the late 1990s.

Further, Beaty says he’s in good company, citing his Tavistock teammates. “It’s more about my team, because my whole career has been about having the right people around me and with me — and then empowering them to go do what they’re good at.”

Also, of course, there’s a plan. “This is a big Rubik’s Cube; you can’t take all of it at once,” Beaty adds. “There was a lot of planning and a lot of entitlement work that had to get done before you ever think, ‘Hey, I wonder what color we’re going to make the pavers around the first amenity?’”

PLANNING FOR WHAT’S NEXT

And, rest assured, there’ll be plenty of amenities in Sunbridge. For Beaty, though, that’s not the point — at least not yet, anyway. Instead, he hopes to “change the momentum of normal development” by striking just the right balance of building and environmental care.

“I want to make that difference; that’s what I’m really focused on now,” he says. “Being a steward of one of the most important land assets in the Central Florida area — and shaping it for the future in a way that hopefully will be viewed as the beginning of a new approach to development — that’s what gets me up in the morning.”

The old Deseret Ranch is today a mosaic of pastures, citrus groves, wetlands and woodlands. Rob Adams, Tavistock’s vice president of residential development, says he sees similar potential here to that of Lake Nona, the company’s ultra-successful master-planned community in east Orlando.

With Deseret Ranch’s land mass stretching more than 300,000 acres, there most assuredly will be a next for Sunbridge. The community’s initial 27,000 acres went through a comprehensive sector-planning process in 2010, even though development by Tavistock didn’t commence until half a decade later.

Following that process, another 130,000 acres, to the immediate east of Sunbridge, were segmented for planning purposes. Called the North Ranch Sector, that acreage isn’t scheduled for any development until 2040.

According to Osceola County’s North Ranch Sector Plan, the intent is to “proactively plan for and preserve regionally significant economic opportunities, natural resources and transportation corridors at a landscape scale.”

Preparation of the Sector Plan is being closely coordinated with existing and proposed regional planning initiatives, including the Governor’s East Central Florida Corridor Task Force, the Northeast District Conceptual Master Plan, the Osceola County Expressway Authority Master Plan and the Osceola Parkway Extension PD&E Study, among others.

All that can be said with certainty right now is that Sunbridge will continue to be one of the most significant masterplanned communities in the region, if not the state, for many years to come.

“Most developers operate within a short window, say five to 10 years,” says Adams. “They can’t think about those big-picture things. They’re just really ready to move onto the next project. We’re not that here; we’re thinking about what it’s going to be in the future. And that’s very much the case at Sunbridge.”

RISING SUNBRIDGE

The developer of Lake Nona seems to have hit another homer.

Holly and Leo Gampa (center, surrounded by their children) loved what they heard about Weslyn Park, the second residential neighborhood in Sunbridge. “Even if you knew you had to wait, the fact that you could be outdoors, go biking, go walking and eventually enjoy a marina with nightlife was enticing,” says Holly. “It’s really all-encompassing for what my husband and I are looking to do at this point in our lives.”

Holly and Leo Gampa thought they had it all figured out. It was 2019, and with one son in the Navy, another in college and a third in high school, they decided to prepare for the next chapter in their lives by moving from Pennsylvania to Florida — more specifically, to Orlando.

So, they purchased a home in St. Cloud. Then their plans began to change. “All of a sudden, we see this Sunbridge sign. We wondered, ‘What’s that?’” Holly says.

The Gampas investigated. Holly remembers the precise day she first walked into the on-site sales office for David Weekley Homes at Weslyn Park, the second residential neighborhood being built in Sunbridge, a master-planned community by Tavistock Development Company.

It was St. Patrick’s Day 2021. And the more the couple learned about the new community, which was just beginning to turn dirt off Narcoossee Road and Cyrils Drive near Lake Nona — also developed by Tavistock — the more they liked it.

Says Holly: “We thought, ‘My gosh, this sounds like what my husband and I were accustomed to back in the day — where you were commanded to go outside and really enjoy nature. It just had a great community feel.”

The Gampas sold their house in St. Cloud last year and bought into Sunbridge, settling on David Weekley’s threebedroom, 2.5-bathroom Voyager model on a corner lot with a full lanai.

While the home is being built, they returned up North with plans to return in the summertime and move in.

“Even if you knew you had to wait, the fact that you could be outdoors, go biking, go walking and eventually enjoy a marina with nightlife was enticing,” adds Holly. “It’s really all-encompassing for what my husband and I are looking to do at this point in our lives.”

Del Webb Sunbridge residents will gather in Hammock Club, a 22,000-square-foot, resort-style clubhouse now under construction. The clubhouse includes a ballroom, an indoor/outdoor tavern, a grille pavilion, an aerobic exercise studio and wet and dry craft rooms, among other components.

And there’s a bit more to the story. Holly’s mother, Eileen, who was living with the family in St. Cloud, bought a small villa in Del Webb Sunbridge, the community’s 55-plus neighborhood.

Also, the Gampas bought a townhome in Lake Nona’s Laureate Park in preparation for their graduating high schooler to enroll at nearby Valencia College this fall. The family is a walking advertisement for Sunbridge and its appeal across generational boundaries.

Let’s have a look at what’s happening and what’s coming up.

DEL WEBB SUNBRIDGE

Del Webb Sunbridge broke ground in 2018 and welcomed its first residents in 2020. Del Webb, a pioneer developer of 55-plus communities, is a brand of PulteGroup Inc. And sales have been as hot as a Florida summer ever since.

At the time of the opening, Clint Ball, president of PulteGroup’s North Florida division, had this to say: “Residents of Del Webb Sunbridge will enjoy an abundance of activities built around their interests. They’ll have many ways to engage in sports, hobbies and other healthy lifestyle pursuits.”

Still sounds about right. The 700-acre active-adult community offers a variety of flexible single-family homes and villas priced from the $300s. A total of 1,350 single-family homes and villas are planned in the multiphase project — and more than 500 people are already living there.

Amenities are highlighted by The Hammock Club, a 22,000- square-foot, resort-style clubhouse now under construction. The clubhouse includes a ballroom, an indoor/outdoor tavern, a grille pavilion, an aerobic exercise studio and wet and dry craft rooms, among other components.

In addition, there’s an outdoor zero-entry pool along with a community garden, courts for tennis and pickleball, walking trails, sports fields and a playground for visiting grandkids. Plus, there’s a full-time lifestyle director who’ll help you stay as busy as you want to be.

In essence, Del Webb Sunbridge promises a place to live for pre-retirement and retired boomers who want to continue to explore, grow and learn — with close proximity to state-of-theart healthcare.

Nearby Lake Nona, often referred to as Medical City, houses the UCF Lake Nona Medical Center, AdventHealth Lake Nona, Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Nemours Children’s Hospital.

Also, early last year AdventHealth and Del Webb Sunbridge partnered to deliver new services in the form of fitness training, wellness classes and spa services as well as access to a wellness ambassador — which is exclusive to the community.

As for the homes, think diverse options. Buyers may choose from three design collections and 13 design options, ranging from two to five bedrooms and two to five bathrooms with two- or three-car garages.

The community’s Distinctive Series includes seven floorplans that range in size from 1,670 to 2,808 square feet. For

Del Webb’s Prosperity model (above) from its Distinctive Series has two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage. At 1,670 square feet, it’s priced starting at $459,990. Interiors feature oversized windows for beautiful views and spacious island kitchens ideal for entertaining.

example, the Prestige model (priced from $427,990) is 2,080 square feet and offers two to three bedrooms, 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms and two- or three-car garages. The floorplan also includes walk-in closets.

The Echelon Series has five floorplans that range in size from 2,269 to 3,452 square feet. For example, the Stardom plan (priced from $513,990) is 2,269 square feet and has two to three bedrooms, 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms and two- or threecar garages. The plan also features an expansive kitchen and covered lanais.

At the higher end, the two-story, 3,453-square-foot Stellar Grand has options that include up to five bedrooms and five bathrooms with three-car garages. Its starting price is $593,490.

The community’s Villa Series encompasses the Ellenwood, an attached villa home priced from the mid-$300s. The home measures 1,579 square feet in size with two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage.

Its floorplan is emblematic of the versatility and efficiency you’ll find from Del Webb: A formal entryway and foyer lead into an airy kitchen, café and gathering room. Just off the foyer is a flex room perfect for use as an office or den. The owner’s suite, which features a luxe bathroom and spacious walk-in closet, provides an ideal retreat.

Del Webb’s Renown model from its Echelon series has three bedrooms, 3 to 3.5 bathrooms and a three-car garage. At 2,808 square feet, it’s priced from $626,990. The Echelon Series has five floorplans from which to choose.

And a second phase of Del Webb Sunbridge is on the way, which will include 452 new homes that will cover 230 acres. A third phase is planned, too — making this one active-adult community that’s, well, as active as its most engaged residents.

WESLYN PARK

That’s all surely good news to Rob Adams, vice president of residential development at Tavistock. Adams views the success at Del Webb Sunbridge as a precursor for what’s to come at Weslyn Park, the second neighborhood in Sunbridge and first developed by Tavistock.

“That high level of demand makes me feel more comfortable at the outset,” he says. “I feel good about this project just because we know we’ve had so much demand, and we’ve been working on this for a number of years.”

In much the same way, Adams looks down the road at Tavistock’s Laureate Park, bustling with nearly 3,000 homes. “I get that same feeling as we go into Weslyn Park, seeing the potential of what’s there and knowing how it can grow over time,” he adds.

Notably, while acknowledging that it’s early in the buying cycle at Weslyn Park, Adams foresees buyers that fit a similar profile to those at Laureate Park, as well as those at the Tavistock’s Isles of Lake Nona and Laurel Pointe. In other words, he sees buyers like the Gampas.

Rob Adams, vice president of residential development at Tavistock, says the high level of demand for Weslyn Park makes him even more optimistic about the project, where the first phase will encompass 577 homes.

Weslyn Park has quite a variety of new styles from which to choose. Pulte Homes’ Bordeaux model (above) has two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage. At 1,889 square feet, it’s priced starting at $531,990. David Weekley Homes’ Georgette model (below) has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bath and a three-car garage. At 3,100 square feet, the model’s price had not been released at press time because the home was not yet available.

Craft Homes’ Azalea model, part of its Botanic Series, has three bedrooms, 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms and a two-car garage. At 2,230 square feet, prices for this model had not been released at press time. Craft Homes is also offering models from its Frontier and Traverse Series in Weslyn Park.

Weslyn Park’s first phase will encompass 577 homes designed and built by a group of builders that includes Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes, Craft Homes, Pulte homes and Toll Brothers. Each will feature a wide array of home styles — from townhomes to larger single-family homes — and an eclectic assortment of elevations.

Many of the homes will boast covered front porches that welcome residents outdoors, while plentiful walkways will promote social connections throughout the neighborhood. In all, a trail network will connect to 60 acres of open space that include playgrounds, ponds and other amenities as well as large stretches of preservation areas.

Another common theme: All homes in Weslyn Park will be wood-frame — not block — employing a blend of siding and trim choices as well as custom exterior color palettes.

Adams says that wood-frame construction represents a more environmentally sustainable approach with less carbon impact and the added benefit of reducing construction times.

Also notably, multiple models will have full solar roofs and buyers can expect lightning-fast internet by virtue of 10G capacity. Sunbridge, in fact, is the first community in Florida to offer 10G service.

That capacity, according to Adams, is one benefit of what’s among the most robust technology infrastructures of any community in America. In turn, “over-the-top” (OTT) streaming service will be offered instead of traditional cable-TV.

Following the initial 577 homesites, a second phase of approximately 430 homesites is planned, prompting Adams to assert: “That’s just the beginning of Sunbridge. It’s just the beginning, and that’s exciting for me.”

That excitement extends to the builders, too, such as Sam Abruzzo, division president for David Weekley Homes in Orlando.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be involved in this beautiful new community,” Abruzzo comments. “We believe that Weslyn Park will have all the charm and amenities that make a great neighborhood — and will be a great place for our buyers to call home.”

David Weekley will be building 128 single-family homes — a blend of coastal craftsman and modern farmhouse styles — situated on 34- and 50-foot homesites. The community will offer 12 one- and two-story floorplans, ranging in size from 1,650 to 3,000 square feet and priced from the $400s.

Meanwhile, Ashton Woods has plans for single-family homes priced from the $500s and townhomes priced from the $400s. Craft Homes will have townhomes priced from the high $300s and single-family homes priced from the mid-$400s. Pulte will build single-family homes priced from the mid-$400s, while Toll Brothers will price its single-family homes from the $500s.

Looking at the big picture, perhaps Holly Gampa, the proud homeowner, sums things up best about Sunbridge: “It was a long journey and a journey worth going along.”

SUNBRIDGE AT A GLANCE

• Developed by Tavistock Development Corporation, the visionaries behind Lake Nona.

• Phase 1 consists of 27,000 acres of native Florida landscape across the Orange County line into the northwest region of Osceola County. • Plans call for 22,700 single-family homes, 13,990 apartments and 6,000 hotel rooms along with more than 11 million square feet of office space and 3.9 million square feet of industrial space. • Other major components are the Marina Village and an employment center with up to 1.75 million square feet of offices. • Del Webb (55-plus) and Weslyn Park are the first of six major neighborhoods that make up the nearly 4,600 residential units planned for Phase 1. • Phase 2, in northeast Osceola County, will be four times the size of Phase 1. Construction is expected to start in 2024.

• Phase 1 and Phase 2 are expected to support 21,000 jobs. • Buildout is not expected until 2055. • Coming much sooner: a new Osceola County K-8 school, scheduled to open in 2024

IT’S ‘NATUREHOOD’

Sunbridge will have the amenities you’d expect. But perhaps the most important ones are lakes, canals and miles of trails.

Throughout the Tavistock Development Company, Sunbridge already has a nickname: “Naturehood.” Says Rob Adams, Tavistock’s director of residential development: “We gave it that name because when you get on-site, you really feel closer to nature.”

Sunbridge’s main entry off Cyrils Drive is treelined. Conservation areas abound, as does water. The property features three natural lakes with navigable manmade canals connecting them, creating a chain that will serve as the center of the community’s under-construction Marina Village.

So, essentially, a canal network will connect Marina Village to a chain of natural lakes.

Adams calls the marina area, including its 40-plus acre basin, a community centerpiece that will “activate water access in a new way for the region” for dining and recreation. An aquatic and fitness center is in the work as well.

“It’s very different,” he adds. “These are nice waterways, and you get to the lakes, which are pristine and quite lovely. That’s something you don’t really see in Central Florida — other than water parks or a chain of lakes.”

Water use of another kind will come into play on a home landscape plan that will emphasize conservation. Throughout Sunbridge, native plantings will predominate, particularly within the Weslyn Park neighborhood.

Homebuilders, Adams says, quickly bought into the idea. “They’ve really embraced it in a way I did not anticipate,” he notes. “And seeing it in action onsite, I’ve been super happy with it.”

Then there are the trails. Tavistock’s Lake Nona encompasses approximately 44 miles of trails. Similarly, the community of Sunbridge will be crisscrossed with walkways, wide paths and natural trails that will be connected to a regional trail network.

Even the community’s welcome center, called Basecamp, has adopted a nature theme. It will span 31 acres and feature an outdoor pavilion along with the first two miles of trails that will wind through the community. Also, the center will provide information about the neighborhoods, builders and amenities.

In February, Tavistock opened a temporary version of Basecamp, anchored by a pair of yurts (round, tent-like structures). The intention is to literally sell an outdoor lifestyle. The permanent center will be constructed later as part of the Marina Village.

Sunbridge, in sum, promises to be a place that values residents’ most important connections — “family, friends and nature.”

Concludes Adams: “Sunbridge is designed to give people unprecedented access to natural oak forests, lakes, wetlands and waterways. And it will carefully weave homes, parks and recreational amenities with business and civic uses.”

The under-construction Marina Village and its 40-plus acre basin will be a community centerpiece that will offer access via three man-made canals to three natural lakes. An aquatic and fitness center is in the works as well.
