A 419-acre land parcel in Pasco County, Florida, has been acquired for the Explore by Del Webb Verona project, a planned residential development along the SR-52 corridor in one of the state’s fastest-growing regions.
The acquisition expands the project’s development footprint within Pasco County and advances early-stage land assembly for a long-term master-planned residential community. The project is expected to include approximately 843 homesites in its initial phase, with total buildout potential of around 2,800 homesites, according to project plans.
The site sits within a rapidly growing corridor of the Tampa Bay region, where continued population growth and infrastructure expansion have driven sustained residential development activity.
Project developers and stakeholders
The Explore by Del Webb Verona project is being developed under the Explore by Del Webb brand by PulteGroup, Inc., a major U.S. homebuilder with active residential operations across multiple growth markets.
The Explore by Del Webb brand focuses on lifestyle-oriented residential communities designed for active adults, emphasizing amenity-driven planning and long-term community design.
Planned development framework
The Verona project is planned as a phased master development, with residential construction to be delivered over multiple stages.
In addition to residential housing, the broader development plan includes future commercial parcels, a school site, and conservation areas. These elements are intended to support a mixed-use residential environment as the project progresses.
Location and infrastructure access
The development is located along the SR-52 corridor in Pasco County, an area that has become one of the most active residential expansion zones in the Tampa Bay region.
The site provides access to major transportation infrastructure, including I-75 and the Suncoast Expressway, connecting the area to downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, and the Gulf Coast.
The corridor continues to attract residential investment due to its strong regional connectivity and sustained housing demand.
Lifestyle-oriented design approach
The Explore by Del Webb brand emphasizes residential communities centered around wellness, recreation, and social engagement.
Planned amenities for the Verona project include fitness and movement studios, massage rooms, infrared saunas, cold plunge facilities, a lazy river, pickleball courts, a bar and grill, and community gathering spaces.
Regional development context
Pasco County remains one of Florida’s fastest-growing residential markets, supported by ongoing population inflows and suburban expansion across the Tampa Bay metropolitan region.
The Verona project adds to a growing pipeline of large-scale master-planned developments shaping long-term housing supply in the region.
Additionally, this project adds to a broader pipeline of large-scale residential and mixed-use development across the United States, including TurnLeaf, a 426-acre master-planned community in Florida, and The Point, a planned 600-acre mixed-use district in Draper, Utah, which recently broke ground on its first vertical development phase. These developments reflect continued demand for long-term land planning in fast-growing suburban corridors driven by population growth and ongoing infrastructure expansion.
