Subject: A-Town Development Agreement
Dear Ms. Thienprasiddhi,
The attached letter is provided in reference to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement No. 2005-00008.
To date, Lennar has completed all master plan public facilities improvements, three buildings totaling 638 homes, and the completion both the Public Park and Public Linear Park. Lennar is under construction on an additional two buildings totaling 330 homes, bringing the total residential improvements to 968 homes, 132 homes short of the October 2025 milestone requiring 1,100 homes.
Lennar is requesting additional time to allow for the reinstatement of building permits to streamline the completion of Development Area B, the accompanying grocer space, and a master plan amendment to modify density requirements to allow construction of urban townhomes on Development Area C&D.
Consistent with past updates, Lennar continues to highlight that financing for large-scale, mixed-use podium projects with large commercial spaces is significantly limited in the current capital market. Despite this, Lennar remains committed to working with the City on a path towards completion of the remaining development areas.
Therefore, Lennar is requesting an extension to July 31, 2026 to allow for the preparation of updated materials for Plan Commission and City Council consideration. During the requested extension Lennar will:
o Coordinate with City staff in establishing a new timeline for permitting and construction of Development Area B consistent with final site plan approval, a mixed-use project with 270 multiple- family residential units and 21,669 sqft of ground floor commercial space with 505 square feet of accessory outdoor dining
o Continue to market the ground floor retail space in Development Area B to secure a High-Quality Grocer tenant for the Platinum Triangle
o Work with City staff to amend the Master Plan to allow for a reduction in required commercial space and residential density within the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use Overlay Zone
o Submit a Final Site Plan application for Development Area C, a for-sale townhome project
o Submit a Final Site Plan application for Development Area D, a for-sale townhome project
The extension to the Development Agreement is being requested with the following considerations:
