Atlanta-based Pulte Homes has started construction on the first phase of a master-planned housing development in Central Florida. The transformative venture will occupy 900 acres, most of which is set aside for housing.
Upon completion, Hilliard Isle will feature 2,016 single-family homes – specifically, 422 townhomes and 1,592 single-family standalone homes.
