National homebuilder Taylor Morrison closed on more than 4,000 undeveloped acres in St. Johns County on July 31, acquiring the property for $60 million.
The St. Johns County Clerk of the Court recorded the deed Aug. 5.
The Arizona-based company, through Taylor Morrison of Florida Inc., purchased 4,012.77 acres from Darien, Connecticut-based Westport Capital Partners, through Greenbriar Property Holdings LLC, according to county property appraiser records.
The seven-parcel package includes land within the Greenbriar Community Development District in northwest St. Johns County. Approved by the Board of County Commissioners in January 2024, the CDD encompasses an adjusted footprint of 1,247.97 acres and was established to fund community infrastructure for up to 1,993 planned residential units.
The district is generally east of Longleaf Pine Parkway, north of Greenbriar Road and west of Veterans Parkway. It serves residential portions of the Greenbriar Helow Planned Unit Development.
Deed records show Wolf Real Estate Group of Fort Lauderdale represented the seller.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Taylor Morrison is the sixth-largest national homebuilder and land developer in the U.S., according to Builder Magazine’s 2026 rankings, with a reported $7.755 billion in gross revenue.
Formed through the 2007 merger of Taylor Woodrow and Morrison Homes, the company operates in 12 states and more than 20 major markets. Its regional footprint includes Coopers Meadow, Melcon Farm, Panther Creek and Sabal Terrace in Jacksonville; Cherry Elm at SilverLeaf and the Cove at Beachwalk in St. Johns County; and Headwaters at Lofton Creek in Nassau County.
The company has yet to submit development plans to St. Johns County or the St. Johns River Water Management District.
