The city issued a site-clearing permit Feb. 7 for Toll Brothers to clear land at its proposed everRange development in South Jacksonville at a project cost of $5 million.
Toll Southeast LP Co. Inc. is the developer of the 132-unit age-restricted community for buyers ages 55 and older.
The total 170.34-acre parcel for Toll Brothers would comprise 48.8 acres with the remainder of the site as pond, parks and wetland impact and preservation space.
The permit calls for earthwork, utilities, roadway and drainage for the residential development.
Tavistock Development Co. of Orlando is shown as the property owner through TDC LB ER LLC, which was registered with the state Dec. 11, 2024.
The permit plan shows the single-family residential development is on Parcel 26F at 13372 Ever Range Parkway.
Parcel 26F is designated as 132 age-qualified single-family lots comprising 74 (50-foot) and 58 (60-foot) lots.
Jacksonville-based England, Thims & Miller Inc. is the civil engineer.
Toll Brothers has previously worked with Tavistock, such as building a single-family community at Tavistock’s Lake Nona master-planned development.
The PARC Group of Jacksonville is developing everRange on property owned by the Davis family.
PARC Group has said it anticipated neighborhood construction beginning in the second half of 2025 with the first ones will open in 2026.
It announced that Toll Brothers will be the first builder and will develop an active adult 55+ neighborhood. Dream Finders Homes will develop a town home neighborhood.
A PARC Group master site plan shows everRange is planned for 1,305 residences.
That plan shows 1,011 single-family lots, 294 rental units and a 27-acre commercial-retail development at the southern end of the land.
The everRange land runs north to south, ending along Philips Highway at the southern tip of Duval County, where Philips connects with Nocatee Parkway running east and Race Track Road running west.
Philips Highway is U.S. 1 and continues into St. Johns County.
There is a trail network, a central amenity center, a recreation pond and other ponds.
EverRange.com says it is a new planned community “with a charming rustic modern” ambiance that spans 1,000 acres and 1,500 homes.
EverRange sits within 6,174 acres that Big Creek Timber LLC rezoned in February 2023 to a Planned Unit Development for residential and commercial uses, with about a third of the acreage protected or placed in conservation.
The city also is reviewing a building permit application for Carlton Construction Inc. of Fleming Island to build a welcome center at an estimated project cost of $2.3 million.
