WATERSOUND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 16, 2019--
The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) today announced its plan to
develop Park Place, a new residential community in Callaway, Florida.
Plans for the community call for more than 300 homesites on
approximately 165 acres of land. The entrance to Park Place will be
located on State Road 22, east of Betty Louise Drive.
“The Park Place community has been in St. Joe’s long term development
plan,” said Bridget Precise, Senior Vice President, Residential Real
Estate for St. Joe. “With the need for housing in Bay County following
Hurricane Michael, we believe that this is the right time to accelerate
this project.”
St. Joe recently executed a letter of intent to sell the first 51
homesites in the Park Place community to Truland Homes. This will be the
Alabama-based homebuilder’s first major project in Bay County. Truland
Homes intends to construct and sell single family homes that are
scheduled to be completed in 2020. “We are very pleased to work with St.
Joe at Park Place,” said Jeff Wayne, Gulf Coast East Division President
for Truland Homes. “We are in this market for the long haul and are
committed to being a partner in the community. The homes that are
planned for this new community will be built and priced to meet the
needs of Bay County.”
Plans call for homesite development to be completed later in 2019.
