The site straddles both side of Lyons Road. The west side has already been cleared for Lotus Edge, a high-end development. GL Homes recently received approval for townhomes on the east side.

On the site of what was once one of the most productive agriculture operations in Palm Beach County, a 322-townhome project will be built across the street from Olympic Heights High School west of Boca Raton.
GL Homes bought the 330-acre tract in 2021 for $215 million. The site, home of the former Johns Farm, straddles both sides of Lyons Road.
County commissioners, over the objections of Mayor Maria Sachs, approved the project.
A year ago, the homebuilder received approval to build a large, high-end development on the west side of the highway as part of its Johns PUD development. The latest approval received in late January was for the 70-acre parcel on the east side where townhomes will be built. It is the last undeveloped Lyons Road parcel between Yamato and Glades Road.
The Johns PUD will consist of 987 housing units; 660 single-family homes on the west side of Lyons Road and 327 townhomes on the east side.
