New home construction continues across Southwest Florida, and in Collier County coincides with two major I-75 interchange updates: at U.S./SR 951 (Exit 101) and the county’s first diverging diamond under construction at Pine Ridge Road (exit 107).
Thousands of homes, single-family and multi-family, have been approved, are in the planning stages or are under construction in the largest county in the state of Florida with 1,997 square miles of land. Most available land is in the north and east, and growth is pushing that way.
What are some of the communities being built or planned in Collier County?
Golden Gate Estates, a vast residential area in eastern Collier County, is still under construction, offering large acreage lots ranging from 1 to over 10 acres. The Golden Gate community is estimated to have a population of about 30,000, according to World Population Review. It has an expected build out of more than 54,000 residents, with a density of about 1 person per acre.
A community called Bellmar made up of three villages, including a whole new town, is proposed and has been approved at the county level for as many as 8,350 homes in east Collier County near Golden Gate Estates. Collier Enterprises has obtained some of the required local and state permits for the rural village east of Golden Gate Estates, the developer still needs what’s known as a Section 404, or wetlands permit, under the Clean Water Act to begin construction.
As many as 2,111 luxury single-family homes and villas may be built along the 951/Collier Boulevard corridor in the communities of Caymas, Seven Shores, Tamarindo and Summerlit – all on the northbound side of Collier Boulevard.
Fiori, Sparrow’s Amberlin South, Savoy, Allegro and Cadenza, Hammock Park, Azalea Park and Ekos will add 2,228 apartments and townhomes to Collier Boulevard.
