This looks like it is going to be an amazing community! I still have some reservations about wood frame houses in Florida. My preference would be block construction, but I want to keep an open mind. Thanks for keeping us informed, Ken!
I feel the same about wood frame construction compared to CB, especially coming from a family impacted by past hurricanes. Ken, does Orlando have any areas that require CB or any builders that only build with CB?
Ken, you mentioned the 14 Craft Homes lots that sold in minutes. Do you know the average pricing on those? As well, what the timeframe to build is? Can you buy and hold a lot for a period of time? Appreciate your videos…thank you!
There's so much new and exciting stuff happening in Orlando, there seems to be no end to the growth. I'll be going over your videos again in the coming months so I can put together a game plan when I come down over the summer to research communities
Point of clarification, the Sunbridge development has 10 Gigabit (Not Gigabyte) internet infrastructure. That doesn’t mean each house will get the full 10Gb service. Unfortunately, Tavistock and their technology partners have not been very clear on this point. As an example, each house in Del Webb gets 1Gb to the house per their contract with 832 Communications (the network provider picked by Tavistock). This is on par with offerings from AT&T, Verizon, and others. Developers may choose to provide other options, including higher throughput to the house, but that will be, at least In some cases a decision made before the consumer purchases.
Check out a community near Houston called The Woodlands. They did a seriously great job of keeping trees in the ground while they built. It would be great if there were more stipulations on builders to do this.
A lot of the older trees are being transplanted to be showcased on Cyrils and other places in the neighborhood. So not all of the trees are going towards construction.
This is going to be the best community ever I can't wait for the sunbridge community to be done please always keep us updated on this luxury and modern community of sunbridge
You are doing a great job keeping us informed on things to come. Thank you for helping me excite my buyers. I am a Bartender in the lake buena vista/ Bay Hill area and of course I am now an active agent. Thank you for the insight
Great Video, You should check out the East Lake Toho development, it dwarfs what's going on in Sunbridge. We are talking about around 80k units on the east side of Lake Toho with the Poinciana extension coming in which will connect Poinciana to the turnpike. 1mil sq. feet of office space, thousands of hotel rooms, community urban centers with Mixed use development.
As someone who bought a house off Cyrils I’m excited for Sunbridge! I didn’t even know about it until after we chose it. We thought we were just getting a nice area close to Lake Nona!
I've heard that buying a new build home earlier in the phases/ build out, will give you the lowest price. However, you'll be dealing with long term construction, incomplete infrastructure, construction pollution (dust, noise) etc. Is this true for this mega development? My girlfriend and are in the research phase of moving to Central Florida from Chicago. We are thinking about two years from to move there and start a family. If we wait that long, will pirces increase dramatically like Dell Webb has? Do these homes have natural gas? Do the backyards have swimming pools?
Ken I am thinking of buying a retirement 55+ in Sunbridge Area. Do you think that the prices of what has risen in the last year are inflated and someone should wait for further developments to be offered or sections to be offered that are more in line with what will be considered normal pricing?
Awesome video - just one brag moment - lol - the Del Webb Sunbridge lots are also (unless you choose the villa) 50 and 65 feet - just like the other neighborhoods. Lol no one in a single family home has a 35 foot lot. Also to note: in 10 months the base price of our property has gone up $130k - so don’t wait!! The area is beautiful!!!
Great video, was wondering with the canals that you featured. How would communities like Hanover Lakes and Alligator lake front interact with the Sun Bridge Waterfront they are developing?
NOPE NOPE NOPE don't kid yourselves. All wood homes look beautiful BUT this is Florida, Hurricane capital of the world. As in Miami homes have the strictest building codes for that reason. Any future hurricanes that deviate to central Florida will wipe out those matchstick houses. CBS is the way to go and you can always add wood accents wherever. That just looks like a plan for a future disaster. You can hype up all the typical builder quality marketing but history doesn't lie. Forget the termites that's an additional problem, the Florida winds from hurricanes will get you. Good luck.
I’m interested in Sunbridge. Maybe I am mistaken, but on another video I thought I saw that with the land, you can expect to pay at least $500,000. Is that correct? I’m not poor, but that’s a little pricey for us! I guess other states may think that’s “affordable” but it’s very high for where I live.
@@samuelbaird4983 yeah I’m learning that lol. Very expensive. There are other more affordable places. Even The Villages may be cheaper. I’ve also been looking at OTOW.
12:37 This was a great video Ken! I really hope Disney is the builder of the 6000 homes in the gated community. Pretty much everything that Disney has done when it came to real estate like their homes at Celebration and the Golden Oak community are build to perfection. Hopefully they build the 55+ neighbourhood similar to Golden Oak and/or Celebration with the same top builders.
@@kenpozek My fingers are crossed also, I hope if it is even Disney; they use and build single level floor plans similar to The Villages in Florida's Designer Homes and Premier Homes. I think a 55+ Disney community home plan that combines the best of Golden Oak Disney and/or Celebration with The Villages in Florida that would be incredible.
I was looking forward to this area but not to wood construction. Hurricane Maria had comparable sustained winds to those of the recent tornadoes that devastated Kentucky. Only solid concrete kept us safe. 😥
If designed correctly wood can be the same result. When a hurricane hit the panhandle we had an apartment complex under construction. We thought itd be a total loss since it was the strongest hurricane to hit that area. Low and behold, it stood up. Sometimes it’s a matter of luck and construction. Concrete is only as strong as the design loads applied. If not enough rebar, cracks will form or walls could cave in. The only benefit is that load spreads out and you have a lot of self weight in concrete so the forces on the foundation and connections are smaller.
@vanessa the majority of homes in Orlando are build with a 2nd story that’s all wood. At first I was like thinking, “absolutely no way”, but the more I looked into it, the more I think it’ll be just fine
I plan to. Getting in early is a great idea. That said, just keep in mind you’re going to be competing with new construction on resale for the next 20 years. I don’t think it’s a quick flip sort of situation.
