Bennett Place Is Coming: Multifamily Boom Continues on Boggy Creek Road

If you’ve driven down Boggy Creek Road between 417 and the Osceola County line lately, you’ve likely noticed the rapid transformation. What was once a quieter stretch of land is now becoming a hotbed for development, and the momentum isn’t slowing down. The newest project in the pipeline is a major mixed-use community called Bennett Place — and it’s bringing even more residential and commercial energy to the area.

Developer Parkway Leads Major Land Deal

Parkway, a development and investment firm, has officially partnered with Silverpeak and Everest Equity Group to purchase 22 acres at the northeast corner of Boggy Creek Road and Simpson Road. The land, previously owned by Daryl Carter of Maury L. Carter & Associates and Jim Dowd of Dowd Properties, sold for $15 million.

According to Carter, the development team had the site under contract for a while. They were given time to work through the entitlement and permitting process — and once approvals were secured, the sale was finalized. That means construction isn’t just a possibility anymore; it’s imminent.

Approved Plans for 350 Apartments and Retail Space

Bennett Place has already received full approvals to move forward with a significant first phase of development. The project will include 350 apartments, designed across five mid-rise buildings. Renderings show a modern and livable community, complete with a clubhouse, resort-style pool, landscaped walkways, outdoor seating areas, and several pocket parks designed for residents to unwind and connect.

Inside, residents will have access to amenities like a sports and golf simulator, a fully equipped gym, a convenience market, and dedicated co-working space — features that cater to today’s flexible, hybrid lifestyles.

On the commercial side, roughly four acres at the northwest corner of the property will be developed for retail. Plans include three one-acre ground lease pads and a 6,000-square-foot strip of in-line shops. Jett Development will spearhead the commercial portion, while Alexander Investments will lead the multifamily buildout.

Design and Construction Timeline

Cormia Design Group prepared the architectural renderings for the multifamily section, while LIS is designing the retail spaces. Kimley-Horn is serving as the civil engineer and landscape architect for the project.

At this point, building permit applications have been submitted for the first phase and are currently under review. A general contractor has yet to be selected, but vertical construction is expected to begin in March 2026.

This marks the third collaboration between Parkway and Silverpeak. Their previous projects include The Helix in Lake Mary and Skyline at Westfall Station in Clermont. Parkway Chairman Jim Heistand said the project reflects their focus on experienced teams, clear market targets, and growing Sunbelt regions.

More Growth Around the Corner

Bennett Place is far from the only major development along this booming stretch of Boggy Creek Road. The area is rapidly becoming a regional hotspot for both residential and commercial expansion.

Just south of Bennett Place, D.R. Horton’s multifamily brand DHI Communities recently completed Ascend Nona West — a 396-unit apartment community. A future phase could expand that total to 756 units. D.R. Horton is also building a 188-lot townhome community next door, called Nona West, with homes starting in the $400,000s.

Also nearby, Alabama-based Arlington Properties opened the 350-unit Tapestry Nona and is eyeing an additional 325-unit development on adjacent land. Integra Land Company has already delivered the 355-unit Integra Towers at Nona South, and Royal Palm Companies, in partnership with Mattoni Group, plans to open a 320-unit apartment project just south of Tyson Ranch by 2027.

Commercial Projects Keep Pacing

The commercial scene is expanding alongside the rooftops. One Oak Development recently purchased around seven vacant acres just east of Ascend Nona West for $8 million. That site has already been approved for 32,250 square feet of commercial space — and early plans suggest that Chick-fil-A and Fifth Third Bank could be among the incoming tenants.

Self-storage is also becoming a common feature of the corridor. Public Storage plans to build a 141,000-square-foot facility south of Integra Towers. M/I Homes is developing a 318-unit townhome community next to a Storage Rentals of America property.

Meanwhile, the Tyson Ranch Planned Development continues to evolve. The 75-acre mixed-use project is set to feature a blend of single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, hotels, and commercial outparcels. Hotel plans already include a 120-room TownePlace Suites and a 130-room Homewood Suites.

Commercial & Residential Boom Continues Near Lake Nona

As for future opportunities, Carter and Dowd still own another 11 acres directly south of the Bennett Place site. While that parcel hasn’t gone through the entitlement process yet, they’re actively seeking a buyer. Based on the surrounding activity, it could very well become another mixed-use site in the near future.

Why Boggy Creek Is Booming

The growth along Boggy Creek Road is being driven by a combination of strategic location and smart infrastructure planning. The area sits just minutes from Orlando International Airport and the growing Lake Nona Medical City. The planned Simpson Road extension will further connect the area to Tavistock’s Sunbridge community and tap into Orlando’s Beltway System — significantly improving access and appeal.

Daryl Carter, who has been in the real estate business for nearly four decades, believes the Boggy Creek corridor is entering a transformative era. In his words, “It’s going to be solid development on Boggy Creek Road from the county line all the way up to Medical City and beyond to the airport. And it’s going to be amazing how fast it happens. It’s already happening.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great experience working with Connor and would absolutely recommend him. As we were buying a house in Florida while still living in Utah, we relied on Connor for so much throughout the process. He was always incredibly responsive and went out of his way to make things easier for us. When we couldn’t view houses ourselves, he would visit them and send us detailed video walkthroughs, which was a huge help when trying to make decisions from another state. He handled communication with the agents, put together our offers, arranged the inspection and, once we had the inspection results, gave us great advice on how to negotiate so we could get the best possible deal. What really stood out was how willing he was to help with things that went beyond simply buying the house. Because we were in Utah, Connor offered to go back to the property whenever something needed checking, helped arrange appointments such as getting an electrician out, and even offered to continue checking on the house and things like the lawn for us after closing until we’re able to be there. Throughout the whole process Connor was friendly, attentive, patient and extremely easy to work with. Buying a house from across the country could have been incredibly stressful, but having someone local who was so responsive and willing to help made the whole experience much easier. Thank you for everything, Connor! We couldn’t be happier with our new home and really appreciate everything you did for us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jared Jones went above and beyond in every aspect of our home-buying experience. From the very beginning to closing, Jared was there for us every step of the way. Buying a new home can be overwhelming, with countless details, questions, decisions, and unexpected bumps along the road, but Jared made the entire process feel manageable because we always knew he had our back. What really stood out to us was how involved and proactive he was. He didn't just show up for the big moments — he was there throughout the entire process, staying on top of details, answering our questions, advocating for us, and making sure we understood what was happening. Whenever something came up, Jared was quick to jump in and help find a solution. We genuinely felt like he was looking out for our best interests from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and professional, but what we appreciated most was that he truly cared. We never felt like we were just another transaction or another set of clients. Jared treated the purchase of our home as if it were his own, and that made a huge difference. We honestly cannot say enough good things about Jared. He exceeded our expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful experience so much easier. If you're looking for a realtor who will truly go to bat for you, be there when you need him, and genuinely care about getting you into the right home, we couldn't recommend Jared more highly. Five stars doesn't really feel like enough. Thank you, Jared, for everything you did for us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jared Jones is an absolute main stay in the Orlando Real Estate world. I've now had the pleasure of working with him in Orlando as well as Las Vegas years ago, and while he shifted coasts, his skills, care, and diligence in this business have remained sharp and calculated. Jared knows his stuff.  I would question whether anyone knew Orland Real Estate better than Jared and his team.  Whether I'm working with him directly, or one of his hand picked, expertly trained team members, I know I'm getting the same level of sill and dedication to meet our very demanding needs. Thank you Jared, and your team, for being our absolute Go-To in Orlando Real Estate!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When we found out we were moving across the country to the Orlando area, we started watching Jared Jones’ Orlando housing market videos on YouTube. His videos provided a ton of great information about the different communities, neighborhoods, and the Orlando housing market and really helped us get familiar with the area before making the move. As good as Jared’s videos are, his team is even better in person! We had the pleasure of working with Leonard O’Connor, and he was awesome from the very beginning. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Leonard took the time to show us several existing homes and really helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. Once we zeroed in on the right property, Leonard was there every step of the way. He helped us through the negotiations and, because we were still living across the country, went above and beyond to help with measurements and other things we needed taken care of before we could arrive in Orlando. Having someone local we could trust made a huge difference and took a lot of stress out of buying a home from thousands of miles away. The entire process went incredibly smoothly, and closing was a breeze. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re moving to the Orlando area—especially if you’re relocating from out of state—I highly recommend Jared Jones, Leonard O’Connor, and the eXp Realty team. Great communication, great service, and people who genuinely work hard for their clients. Five stars all the way!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jared and his team helped me and my family in purchasing a home in Orlando and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are extremely knowledgeable about the greater Orlando area which was important to me moving from New Jersey. They kept us informed every step of the way and did a phenomenal job when it came time to present an offer and close the deal. This team is top notch!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leonard O’Connor, with Jared Jones Realty team, did a fantastic job helping us find our new home in Clermont, Florida. He was very accommodating, often squeezing last minute home viewing into his schedule and doing virtual walkthroughs with us from Michigan. His communication throughout the process was exemplary and his vast experience shown through in his advice and negotiating skills. Leonard and the whole team at Jared Jones Realty worked together seamlessly to assist us every step of the way through the home buying process. We couldn’t be happier!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Selling a home from overseas could have been stressful, but Jared and his team made the whole process feel incredibly straightforward. From the very beginning we felt we were in safe hands. Jared was always approachable, responsive and happy to answer any questions we had. His communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated every step of the way, and his advice was always honest and reassuring. The professional photography and video marketing were first class and really showed our Davenport home at its very best. What impressed us most was how much Jared genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. Even when unexpected issues arose during the sale, he remained calm, proactive and worked hard to keep everything moving towards a successful closing. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor and would wholeheartedly recommend Jared Jones and his team to anyone buying or selling a home in the Davenport and Central Florida area. Thank you, Jared, for all your hard work, professionalism and support—it has been a pleasure working with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I purchased a home in Kissimmee, Florida and it was by far the best home buying experience we have ever had. This is our 7th home we have purchased. Stephany Cornelius was our Realtor from Jared Jones Real Estate Team and we couldn't have been more pleased. She made the process so easy, less stressful and guided us through every aspect including a very quick closing. I highly recommend Stephany if you're trying to navigate the home buying experience here in Florida.
