Commercial construction in The Villages reflects the steady growth of one of America’s most master-planned communities. As new neighborhoods, hospitals, and shopping districts emerge, the demand for professional, safety-focused builders continues to rise.
According to the Villages Commercial Development Division, the community now includes more than 7 million square feet of retail, medical, and office space, with an additional 1.2 million square feet approved south of U.S. 301 near County Road 470.
These projects are expanding opportunities for healthcare, hospitality, and professional services across Sumter County and the I-75 corridor.
Key industries driving commercial construction in The Villages include:
- Healthcare, anchored by UF Health The Villages Hospital and supporting clinics
- Hospitality and Tourism, centered around Brownwood Paddock Square and the new Eastport District
- Retail and Dining, with continuous expansion at Lake Sumter Landing
- Professional and Financial Services, growing to serve The Villages’ year-round population
- Light Manufacturing and Logistics
Recent landmark developments such as the Town Center of Middleton (completed 2024) and the planned Eastport mixed-use district show the area’s long-term commitment to sustainable commercial growth.
According to Spectrum News, The Villages area saw a five percent population increase from 2022 to 2023, making it the fastest growing metro area in the country. This creates ongoing demand for new retail centers, restaurants, healthcare offices, and hospitality venues.
At Seanote Construction, we help business owners, developers, and community leaders meet that demand with integrity, precision, and professional oversight. Our goal is to make sure every build increases both function and the fabric of The Villages.
