DeAngelis Diamond Construction, Inc. is the general contractor and broke ground on the $91 million venture this spring. The Sun reports that construction could end within 15 months. From there, future residents can start securing homes.
The Canopy at Babcock Ranch will comprise 10 buildings requiring more than 370,000 square feet of new construction. The community will rest on Lake Bullhorn and offer 373 units and 636 parking spots. Communal amenities include a clubhouse, which may offer a fitness center, among other activities.

The development will also be powered by 150 megawatts of solar energy with help from the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL).

Looking for the prospective cost per the units.
We are very interested in leasing an apartment at Babcock Ranch, FL
We were wondering if the one bedroom with have a walk in shower. We are in our 80’s and can’t do a tub
Also will the 2 bedroom have a walk in shower
We are very excited this is coming to Babcock Ranch. We just don’t want to purchase a home but want to be able to go to Fl anytime we want and have our own space without leasing a place that is ours
