OCOEE – Ocoee could add 43 single-family homes on Silver Star Road after a planned-unit development receives the final approvals needed to begin site construction.
On Feb. 7, commissioners approved the proposed development’s first reading. However, the date for the second reading is yet to be determined, because Orange County Public Schools will need to convene first to discuss school capacity in the area.
The 10.91-acre site, which currently sits vacant with pine trees, is situated on the south side of Silver Star Road, east of Johio Shores Road and west of Good Homes Road.
Eric Marks, the president of developer Avex Homes, estimates site construction will begin in the fourth quarter, with home construction starting in April or May 2018. The homes, which will offer four to five floor plans with three elevations each, should be ready for move-in by September 2018.
“There will be some amenities — parks and open space, those kinds of things,” Marks said. “We haven’t programmed the amenities yet, so it’s to be determined.”
The community will have a single access point on Silver Star Road and have a 6-foot buffer wall along Silver Star Road with a fence enclosing the rest of the perimeter. The homes, Marks added, likely will range from the low $200s to high $200s.
“We’re excited to get it going,” Marks said. “Hopefully, by the third quarter, we should be starting to sell.”
