In a significant stride towards expanding quality residential options in Orlando, Royal Palm Companies led by Dan Kodsi and the Mattoni Group proudly announce the securing of an $86 million construction financing loan and the launch of Tuscany Village, a sprawling 420-unit multifamily complex set to enhance the Sanford area.
Strategically located at the southwest corner of State Road 46 and Upsala Road, Tuscany Village is poised to become a cornerstone community within Sanford, spanning 21 acres with seven four-story buildings. With construction slated to commence in the coming weeks and phased completion expected by 2026, the project is primed to transform the local residential landscape.
The acquisition of the development site at 4201 West First Street in June for $12.7 million laid the foundation for this ambitious venture. Financing for Tuscany Village has been secured through a partnership with City National Bank and Abanca USA, contributing $68 million in loans, and Origin Investments, providing $18 million in preferred equity. Notably, these financial arrangements feature floating interest rates without a rate cap, reflecting confidence in the project despite current economic uncertainties.
Royal Palm Companies, renowned for its innovative approach to real estate development since its inception in 1978, boasts a portfolio of $4.7 billion in developed, repositioned, and under-construction projects, including over 9,500 completed residential units. The collaboration with the Mattoni Group underscores the significance of Tuscany Village, leveraging their combined expertise to ensure the delivery of a top-tier residential community.
Despite challenges such as elevated interest rates, insurance premiums, and regional specifics like high concrete costs in South Florida, the decision to proceed with Tuscany Village reflects the unwavering commitment of Royal Palm and Mattoni Group to innovation, quality, and meeting the evolving needs of Florida's residents.
More than just a development project, Tuscany Village represents a future home for hundreds of families and individuals, meticulously designed to foster a vibrant and connected community. Royal Palm Companies and Mattoni Group are dedicated to bringing this vision to life, positively impacting the Sanford region and the broader Florida housing market.
