The developer of Northeast Florida residential communities SilverLeaf, OakLeaf Plantation and Johns Creek bought more than 1,000 acres west of Jacksonville International Airport on Dec. 1 for $29.48 million.
The sale, in two parcels totaling about 1,089 acres, is at 14158 Lem Turner Road, between Terrell and Braddock roads.
The Hutson Cos. of St. Augustine bought the property through Florida Landbank LLC.
Halglenn Real Estate Corp. of Miami sold the property through Lem Turner Road Developers LLC.
In 2022, the Jacksonville City Council approved rezoning the property for a maximum of 2,300 residential units and 125,000 square feet of commercial uses. The project was called Thomas Creek.
Last December, The Hutson Cos. made two large land acquisitions in St. Johns County. The purchase was for 805 lots and rights of way in the Silverleaf master-planned community for a combined $89.04 million.
SilverLeaf is at County Road 210 and Florida Road 16 at St. Johns Parkway west of Interstate 95.
