The Oak Ridge Ranches development in Port St. Lucie is set to span over 3,300 acres. At that size, it’s one of the largest planned residential projects in the history of St. Lucie County . With a total of 8,600 homes proposed, the development—also known as Solaeris —would reshape the western boundaries of Port St. Lucie.
St. Lucie County commissioners have already approved site plans for five sub-sections, or pods , of the project. These approvals represent nearly half of the development’s residential capacity. However, the project has sparked debates among county leaders, with questions surrounding housing density, infrastructure demands, and environmental impact.
Approvals & Development Layout
Oak Ridge Ranches will be a mixed-use community west of Range Line Road and north of Glades Cut-Off Road. Planned features currently include single-family homes, multi-family units, recreational facilities, commercial spaces, and an 18-hole golf course.
