Southwest Florida Land Assemblages

The goal of The Worthington Group's land acquisitions has been to assemble developable tracts of land in the path of growth. The land plans created by Worthington are sensitive to the local environmental features, housing demands, desired amenities and community aesthetics. The communities generally include a wide variety of residential dwelling types with the flexibility to change products depending on varying market conditions. The current trend of including retail and office components within communities to provide convenience for residents has been very successful.

Residential

Arborwood
A major Development of Regional Impact (DRI) near Interstate 75 and Daniels Parkway in South Fort Myers, Florida, Arborwood encompassed over 2,500 acres and required assemblage of 55 individual parcels. The land plans included four distinct residential communities with a central commercial hub, as well as sites for emergency and governmental services and a elementary and middle schools. The project required the extension of a major north-south arterial roadway, Treeline Avenue and several east-west collector roads, along with all of the associate utilities. Worthington established the Arborwood Community Development District (CDD), a unit of local government authorized to issue tax exempt bonds, to fund the project's master infrastructure. In addition to the DRI zoning the property was annexed into the City of Fort Myers and required extensive environmental permitting. A significant portion of the project is currently being developed by Centex Homes and GL Homes.

Stoneybrook at Gateway
In 2000 Worthington acquired 337 acres in Fort Myers, Florida, as part of a major land purchase and chose to re-market the property with a residential land plan with a variety of housing options. Worthington secured zoning and construction plan approvals for 1000 residential units and the parcel was purchased and developed by US Home/Lennar Corp as Stoneybrook at Gateway.

Colonial Country Club
As part of the same land acquisition that secured the land for Stoneybrook, Worthington obtained 750 acres east of Interstate 75 along a major thoroughfare, Colonial Boulevard (S.R. 82). Worthington planned, zoned and entitled the property for 1600 single and multi-family residences and an 18-hole golf course designed by Gordon Lewis. Pulte Homes purchased the parcel from Worthington in 2002 and has successfully completed development and sales in the community.

Palomino Estates (Reflection Isles)
As part of the same land acquisition that secured the land for Stoneybrook, Worthington obtained 444 acres west of Interstate 75, north of Daniels Parkway. Worthington planned, zoned, designed and entitled the property for 700 residences with significant preserve areas and open space. Engle Homes/Tousa, Inc. purchased the parcel from Worthington in 2004 and is successfully developing the community now known as Reflection Isles.

Arlington Country Club (Vasari County Club)
This 376 acre Bonita Springs, Florida tract located west of Interstate 75, south of Bonita Beach Road was assembled by Worthington in 1998, and taken through the design and entitlement process, zoned for 799 residential units and an 18-hole golf course. In 2000 sold the property and in 2001 Taylor Woodrow Communities purchased the parcel and developed Vasari Country Club.

Myerlee Country Club
Proposed redevelopment of an aging golf country club on 72.6 acres in Fort Myers, Florida to include zoning and approvals for 250 additional multi-family dwellings in mid-rise condominiums, modifications of the golf course, and new clubhouse facilities.
