The developers closed on a loan for more than 90 percent of the construction costs or US$68.5 million for the project, from Centennial Bank at the end of August.

“The Port St. Lucie area has always been a haven for retirement. It’s an area that’s really rapidly developing and I think we expect to see additional development pop up around it. We anticipate the developer looking for other parcels of land around the state, and we hope to be able to join them and be the general contractor on those,” said Jeff Spitzer from the Origin Construction Company. The recreational space will include a two-story clubhouse encompassing over 26,000 square feet with a restaurant, sports bar exercise facilities, and a salon.
