Vast acreage that until recently was the heart of Schroeder-Manatee Ranch’s tidy farm operation south of State Road 64 and east of Lorraine Road has been replaced by a massive construction zone.
The developer calls the area the Northeast Quadrant. In the future, instead of a sod farm, tree operation and citrus groves, the property will be home to neighborhoods such as Azario by Taylor Morrison, Cresswind by Kolter and Solara by DR Horton, representing more than 3,000 homes.
Two other large parcels, one to the east of Premier Sports Campus and west of Lakewood National Golf and Country Club, and the other to the north of the sports complex are under contract to other unnamed home builders.
