Our Project Timeline

We are happy to report that we are midway through development at Forest!

Pod C – FPL is finalizing transformers for power to go live. We are expecting the first residents to begin moving in before the end of Q1 2025. Homebuilding and sales will continue as site development activities focus on the other pods.

Pod A – Roads are expected to be completed in the coming days, and then FPL power installation will pivot here. We have begun building several townhomes, some of which have already been purchased. We are working diligently to welcome residents to their new home as soon as possible.

Pod B – The drainage for Pod B is substantially completed, and the next steps are installing sewer and water infrastructure. We are targeting to have this phase developed with roads before the end of the year. 

The seawall installations are continuing at a steady pace throughout the community. As sections are complete, we will focus on finalizing those areas.

We are still receiving inquiries about the black silt fence around the project. We would like to reiterate that this fence does not accurately reflect the property lines. Survey stakes are being installed prior to us moving into an area. Those survey stakes accurately reflect the legal property boundaries and will help us identify any potential encroachments that may exist.

A lot of work was accomplished in 2024. We are excited to see how the community grows in 2025 as we welcome our first residents and continue to build out this wonderful community.

We continue making significant development throughout Pods A, B and C in Forest.

Pod C – FPL is completing power installation. Once that is finalized, we will begin closing on the homes sold to date. 

Pod A – Roadwork and landscaping have begun. We anticipate FPL will begin power installation once their work in Pod C is complete.

Pod B – Development work has commenced, and drainage is nearly complete.

In addition, we are also installing seawalls throughout the community, which will allow us to start finalizing some of the new lakes.

We’ve received several inquiries about the black silt fence around the project pods. Please note these do not accurately reflect property lines. As we continue development work, any encroachments into the Forest property, such as plants and trees, will be removed as the landscape berms are completed around the perimeter.

This has been a busy year for the Forest community, and we’re excited for 2025, which will mark the completion of site development and the first closed homes in the community.

Happy Holidays!

Earlier this month, we celebrated the grand opening of the Forest model homes, marking an exciting milestone as our development continues to progress on schedule.

Development in Pod C is now complete, and FPL is scheduled to begin installing services before the end of the month. In Pod A, we are making rapid progress, with underground infrastructure nearing completion. We anticipate starting roadwork before the end of the year. Meanwhile, development work in Pod B is set to begin by the end of the month and will continue into the new year.

We have also started installing neighborhood signs throughout the community and work on several communal parks is underway. We’re gearing up to begin construction on the neighborhood clubhouses before year-end.

We are nearing completion of our development work in Forest Pod C. We are working on pouring asphalt and installing landscaping where necessary. Development in Forest Pod A is also moving rapidly, as we prepare to begin building homes shortly. Development of Forest Pod B is slated to begin next month.

Most of the drainage improvements for the project are now complete. Once our work on the lake retaining walls is complete, we will begin the irrigation process followed by landscaping.

This month, we will complete the installation of underground infrastructure for Forest Pod C. Road work and landscaping are underway, and home building activities will continue in Pod C as the development phase nears completion and we prepare to begin home sales this fall.

Development in Forest Pod A is also underway and progressing quickly. We are currently installing sewer and drainage pipes and have begun on the landscaping. In the coming months, we will begin working on the water lines and roads in Pod A as we work towards completion of the development phase. Home sales in Pod A are slated to begin in October. 

Additionally, we have begun working on the lake retaining walls throughout the community—one of the final components needed to complete several of the lakes that are currently under construction.

The Forest development is progressing well, with the construction of model homes now fully underway. The L-13 canal relocation project has reached substantial completion, with the new canal slope fully sodded and landscaped. The final phase of this project will focus on restoring the west end of the canal.

Forest Oaks Pod C sewer installation is nearly complete, and we expect road work to commence by the end of the month. We also plan to break ground in Pod A this month and begin installation of retaining walls throughout the community.

We're pleased to share that our landscape plans have been approved, and we'll soon begin installing buffer zones in select areas of Pods A and C.

Disclaimer: Maintenance of traffic (MOT), also known as temporary traffic control or temporary traffic management, are installed throughout the community when work requires the closure and/or adjustments of traffic patterns. For the safety of vehicles, pedestrians and construction workers, MOTs should not be tampered with and must remain in place until all work is completed.

Construction of the Forest development is on track and milestones are being met on schedule. The turn lane improvements along Lake Worth Road are now complete, and the relocation of the L-13 canal is almost finished. Pod C sewer and drainage infrastructure installation is underway, and perimeter berm construction is nearing completion. Landscape installation has started where the berm is complete. We’ve begun construction of the model homes and anticipate breaking ground on some of the park sites throughout the community next month.

This month, we are continuing to work on drainage infrastructure installation and completing the perimeter berms throughout the Forest property. Additionally, we will begin sewer and water installation in Pod C. Construction of the model homes will soon begin along the installation of the perimeter landscaping.

Beginning May 17, we are going to resume clearing of the shared property line at the Forest site. Once complete, we will begin installing landscape buffers as well as water sewage drainage systems. Earlier this month, the former golf pro shop and ancillary buildings were demolished, and we will soon begin excavation of the lake in this area. We will also begin expanding the left-hand turn lane on Lake Worth Road.

We are happy to report that all silt fencing along the Forest property line has been installed, and all trees slated for removal have been extracted. Beginning this month, the trees marked for relocation will be root pruned and re-planted on property, and perimeter berm construction will continue onsite. We are in the final stage of obtaining the demolition permit for the old pro shop and ancillary maintenance buildings. Once the buildings are demolished, we will begin digging the new lake. Additionally, L-13 canal relocation has begun in sections and will be finished once the demolition is completed. However, there is additional vegetation that will need to be removed along the property line.

Please note that the location of the silt fence does not designate the shared property line in all locations. In some instances, the silt fence is set further back on Mattamy’s property to avoid interfering with existing vegetation. The location of each homeowner’s property line is generally identified by a wood stake with a pink ribbon and a “P/L” marking.

During the next two weeks, we will continue to install silt fencing along the shared property line between Forest and adjacent residences. The trees to be relocated will be root pruned and re-planted on property, and we have begun clearing the site of vegetation and will soon be able to generate the fill necessary for the perimeter buffers.

The pro-shop will be demolished when the permit is issued. Once demolished we will begin digging the lake where the building and parking lot are located.

On Feb. 8, we began installation of the orange protective barricade around trees to be relocated or preserved at the Forest property.

We will have consultants on site beginning the week of Feb. 12. They will be capturing photo and video documentation of the existing conditions of shared property lines for Forest and adjacent homes and buildings.
