Planned Unit Development

This 32.22-acre mixed-use site in Leesburg, Florida offers a rare combination of approved entitlements, strategic location, and flexible development potential within Lake County's rapidly expanding growth corridor. Positioned along County Road 48 near U.S. Highway 27, the property sits between The Villages to the west and Orlando to the south, providing access to regional infrastructure and labor markets. Current PUD approvals permit up to 250 attached townhomes and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, but the advanced entitlement position and zoning flexibility create meaningful opportunities for alternative uses including industrial, flex space, and infrastructure-intensive facilities subject to applicable governmental approvals. The site benefits from multiple access points via County Road 48, Catherine Street, and an easement from Haywood Worm Farm Road, with municipal utilities reported as available. The property is generally level, near road grade, and located within FEMA Flood Zone X. The existing entitlements and conceptual planning reduce upfront approval exposure while allowing phased execution or selective development of portions best suited to specialized uses. For developers evaluating land for power-intensive or data-critical operations, this site presents scalable acreage with established infrastructure access in a jurisdiction actively accommodating growth.
