New Housing Development in Indiantown
Business owners in Indiantown are banking on a new attainable housing community to bring responsible development and economic growth to western Martin County. Terra Lago, Village of Indiantown, A Garcia Community is currently under construction and once completed will become a viable option for folks looking for housing opportunities in Martin County aside from the high-priced homes and rentals along the coast.
“The legacy of The Garcia Companies has been to build sustainable businesses where we can give back to the people who live, work, and play in those communities,” said Josh Kellam, President of The Garcia Companies.
Terra Lago has been years in the making and will consist of more than 2,000 homes including apartments, townhomes, and single-family houses. This rural hideaway was created with workers in mind and community at heart.
“At Terra Lago we are able to offer the average everyday worker – first responders, nurses, teachers, and young people starting families – a place to call home in a community that values family and connection.” added Kellam.
Indiantown’s rich history is equally matched by its rich soil. Farming and ranching have been a way of life here for decades. This Treasure Coast gem is also home to a thriving marine industry.
Scott Watson, owner of Indiantown Marina said, “Indiantown would be the place to come because there’s so much opportunity. It’s going to be creating the future with the industry we have coming in, that’s why I love it,” Watson explained.
“The village of Indiantown is looking at the marine industry to see the development and the construction and we have much bigger plans than just the facility you see here at Indiantown Marine Center,” said owner Dan Romence.
With a solid infrastructure already in place, young entrepreneurs are being encouraged to set up shop in Indiantown. No hard sell needed with a long checklist of obvious benefits including open areas surrounded by natural habitats and waterways, a less crowded, small-town charm with a sense of community and a much simpler way of life.
With that kind of lineup, business owners are banking on Terra Lago to create a steady flow of opportunity and hopefully, repeat customers.
“The best part about Indiantown is if you have a need someone is going to help you. If you need a mentor, there’s many here,” said Danielle Williamson, owner of The Fresh Stop and native of Indiantown.
“You can come to school here. You can grow up here. You can now buy a home here,” said Stephen Leighton, owner of Leighton Farms. “Indiantown is on a trajectory to become the beacon of Martin County.”
