TAVARES – Henin Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the Winter Park-based Henin Group, has purchased a 36-acre parcel for $2.4 million with plans to develop a community called Seaport Village off of State Road 19 and County Road 561 in Tavares.
The single-family home community – which will be located on Slim Haywood Avenue – recently received county approval of its PSP (preliminary site plan) for 146 homesites of 60foot widths, according to Jerome Henin, CEO of Henin Group.
Earlier this year Henin received approval of 115 units in Elmwood, a nearby 32-acre tract purchased in 2020 for $2 million. Preferred homebuilder D.R. Horton recently started construction at that community on David Walker Drive and old US 441, “not too far from Seaport Village,” Henin said.
“The attraction for me is that this area of Lake County is in a major growth mode due to a new interchange coming at US 441 and SR 46 and completion of the beltway around Central Florida.”
Seaport Village is in close proximity to other new single-family homes, as well as walkable access to a shopping plaza with various restaurants and retail shops,” Henin said, adding that an adjacent parcel is slated for a new public school.
“Homebuyers at Seaport Village will be able to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the community and surrounding areas while appreciating the easy access to expressways and short commute into Orlando,” he said.
Henin, who hired Gary Beverly and Steve Young of Civil Design Solutions in Maitland to design the new subdivision, said site construction is expected to begin the first quarter of 2022.
While a homebuilder has yet to be named for Seaport Village, Henin said he has received offers from several traditional production builders, as well as build-to-rent companies, to construct the three- and four-bedroom homes.
In addition to the Seaport Village development, Henin has also purchased an adjacent 20 acres on which he plans to build approximately 350 apartments.
