If you’ve been keeping an eye on Sunbridge—or you’re already dreaming about a home where your evening walk ends at the water—there’s fresh momentum happening inside Weslyn Park. Tavistock Development is getting ready to start construction on The Watershed, the neighborhood’s main amenity hub, and at the same time it’s rolling out plans for the next residential expansion—one that finally brings premium lakefront-style living (and some seriously desirable water-view lots) into the mix.
The Watershed: Weslyn Park’s “main hangout” is coming, just not as soon as originally planned
The Watershed is designed to be the heart of the community—the place where weekends start, neighbors meet, and “let’s just swing by for a bit” turns into staying for hours. The original schedule had the clubhouse and pool opening sooner, but that timeline has shifted. The updated target is summer 2027 for the clubhouse and resort-style pool, with the restaurant and bar expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. Once it opens, the plan is for a big, relaxed, vacation-at-home vibe: a zero-entry pool overlooking the lake, space for community events, a trailhead connection, and water activities like paddleboarding and kayaking that make the whole area feel like a lifestyle, not just a neighborhood.
Neighborhood E: the first Weslyn Park expansion south of Cyrils Drive
While the amenity center moves toward its 2027 debut, Tavistock is also advancing the next big residential piece: Neighborhood E, located just south of The Watershed and marking the first expansion of Weslyn Park south of Cyrils Drive. The developer purchased the 260-acre site for $5.15 million and plans to build it out over three phases. Early approvals are already moving, and the first portion—Phase 1A—has received preliminary subdivision approval for 156 detached homesites on 36 acres. The layout includes a mix of bungalow-style lots and front-loaded lots, plus a standout detail for buyers who want that “water-and-wildlife” backdrop: 55-foot lots overlooking a pond and nature trail.
When does construction start, and who’s building?
The expectation is that construction will begin later this year, with the first lots delivered before year-end. The one big missing piece right now is the builder lineup—no builder has been attached yet—so if you’re watching Weslyn Park closely, that announcement will be a key moment. Builder selection can shape everything from architecture and floor plans to pricing cadence and how fast homes move once sales open.
A couple of commercial pads are part of the plan too
Neighborhood E also includes two commercial lots fronting Cyrils Drive, along with another 20 acres set aside for future residential development. That doesn’t automatically mean a full-blown downtown strip, but it does hint at more convenience and “close-to-home” services over time—exactly the kind of detail that can make daily life in a master-planned community feel smoother as it matures.
All of this is happening while Sunbridge continues to pull in major builder interest. In a wave of December land sales, eight homebuilders paid a combined $43 million for residential lots across Orange and Osceola counties. That group includes familiar names already building in the community—Ashton Woods, Dream Finders, Pulte, and Toll Brothers—plus new additions like ICI Homes, M/I Homes, Perry Homes, and Tri Pointe Homes. In plain terms: there’s still strong confidence in the area’s growth, and more neighborhood phases and product variety are likely ahead.
The takeaway
Weslyn Park is entering a new chapter: The Watershed is set to become the community’s signature lifestyle anchor in 2027, and Neighborhood E is positioning itself as the next “watch this closely” phase—especially if your wish list includes water views, nature trails, and a more premium lot feel. If you’re shopping with timing in mind, this is the kind of update that helps you decide whether you want to buy now with amenities on the way, or aim for the next phase where the community starts feeling even more complete.
