Project to build affordable single-family homes, townhomes and apartments

The 806-acre development

The 806-acre development will feature more than 2,000 single-family homes, townhomes and apartments, an assisted living facility and 100,000 square feet of retail space.

INDIANTOWN – Construction has begun on Terra Lago, a new community coming to the Villages of Indiantown. The Terra Lago project will consist of more than 2,000 single-family homes, townhomes and apartments, an assisted living facility, and 100,000 square feet of retail space.

“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, which is developing the project. “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.”

The concept of Terra Lago is to create a harmony between nature and community. About 40% of the neighborhood will remain natural habitat with acres of wetlands undergoing improvements. Common areas offer multiple lakes, walking paths, nature trails, parks, and a recreational clubhouse available to all residents and open to the public.

“Terra Lago brings development on our terms,” said Indiantown Mayor Susan Gibbs Thomas. “It will have a huge economic impact on this rural, tight-knit community without diminishing Indiantown’s charm and hometown appeal.”

Construction will be completed in phases, with the first group of homes expected to be completed in late summer of 2025.
