Fort Lauderdale-based BTI Partners announced April 24 it had purchased more than 2,000 acres in West Jacksonville with the intent of developing a master-planned community.
In a news release, the company said it had acquired 2,091 acres at southwest U.S. 301 and Interstate 10 for $53.2 million from 301 Capital Partners LLC.
The site is known as 301 Villages, according to the release, and is approved for up to 2,740 single-family homes. It is about 18.5 miles west of the junction of I-10 and Interstate 95 in Downtown Jacksonville.
“West Jacksonville is where accessibility meets affordability,” BTI Partners CEO Noah Breakstone said in the release. “It is one of the last places in the region where you can build at scale, connect people to jobs, and still deliver housing at attainable pricing for the greater Jacksonville market.”
BTI Partners said it purchased the site through an affiliate, 301 South Property Holdings LLC.
“West Jacksonville has become an area to watch as growth continues to move beyond the urban core,” the release stated. “With existing infrastructure and access to logistics and employment hubs, it remains one of the few places in the region where large communities can still be developed efficiently, making it possible to deliver more attainable housing.”
The developer says it acquires land, secures entitlements and builds infrastructure for communities that incorporate public parks, schools and retail centers.
In August 2025, BTI Partners bought 3,200 acres in Clay County for $93 million with plans to create neighboring master-planned communities totaling 6,500 acres.
That property is south of BTI’s Laurelton community in Green Cove Springs, west of U.S. 17 and north of property owned by Florida Power & Light.
Laurelton, formerly known as Governors Park, is a 3,300-acre master-planned community in development.
