With Latitude Margaritaville Watersound welcoming its first residents and a new medical campus coming just down the road, it seems the Highway 79 corridor is booming with developments.

The St. Joe Company is now working on a massive residential community just north of Philip Griffitts Senior Parkway.

From rubble to residential, St. Joe has broken ground on what will be the Ward Creek Community.

“It’s about four miles from the beach. It will be in close proximity to the new medical campus that we’re working on with Tallahassee Memorial Health Care and Florida State University,” Senior Vice President for Residential Real Estate Bridget Precise said.

Plans call for roughly 1,600 home sites including a mix of both single-family and townhouse.
