Trio Collaborate on 170K-Home Florida Panhandle Development

Florida-based Minto Communities USA, Margaritaville Holdings and The St. Joe Company are partnering up to develop Latitude Margaritaville Watersound, an active adult community in Florida’s Panhandle region. The community, which is projected to open in early 2020, is entitled for 170,000 homes.

The site is located in Bay County, near Panama City Beach and the scenic 30A corridor. St. Joe owns roughly 15 miles of frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway connecting West Bay with Choctawhatchee Bay, which offers remarkable vistas and recreational opportunities.

Watersound is the third of the Latitude Margaritaville communities to be developed, following communities in Daytona Beach and Hilton Head, SC. The communities will feature a resort-style pool, fitness activities, game and hobby rooms, arts and learning programs, live entertainment, and restaurants.

St. Joe Company’s Jorge Gonzalez says the project will be, “the first active adult community of this kind in our region.”
