Summary: A record-breaking $100 million land deal in Lee County has been finalized, with Forestar, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton, purchasing 1,745 acres in northwest Cape Coral. The land, called Hudson Creek, will be developed into a large, mixed-use community featuring over 3,500 homes, commercial spaces, retail, offices, a university, and more. The project will speed up utility expansion along Burnt Store Road and create a central hub for the area’s needs. After two years of planning and rezoning approval in 2023, the development aims to transform northwest Cape Coral into a vibrant, walkable community.
