About 74.2 acres of Skinner property is slated for single-family and multifamily town house development along Powers Avenue.

The July 9, 2021, site plan shows that Lennar Homes LLC of Miami is the developer of the infill project.

The city enacted Ordinances 2021-0407 and 0408 on Sept. 14 to rezone the site and change the land use of the vacant property, which is across Powers Avenue from Samuel W. Wolfson School for Advanced Studies.

Plans show 130 single-family homes and 337 town houses.
