Conceptual images of new entrance, homes, and club by 13th Floor Homes.
13th Floor Homes has closed on the $14 million purchase of 270 acres of land in Tamarac slated to become a gated luxury residential community, real estate records show.
The Woodlands, located at 4600 Woodlands Boulevard, will consist of 335 single-family homes built on the site of the closed Woodlands Country Club, according to 13th Floor.
13th Floor announced Monday that construction on the controversial project is estimated to begin in late 2024, with the completion of the community’s first homes slated for late 2025.
Priced from the $700,000s to over $1 million, homes at The Woodlands will range from three to five bedrooms with customizable floorplan layouts. 13th Floor purchased the country club from ClubLink for $14 million, records show.
“13th Floor Homes is committed to enhancing the community’s landscape with upgraded infrastructure, lush greenery, and neighborhood amenities, including walking and jogging paths, a new gated entrance, and a modern clubhouse,” said Mike Nunziata, division president of 13th Floor, which is the homebuilding division of Miami-based 13th Floor Investments.
13th Floor executives said they have a long history of delivering high-end residential communities in Tamarac, including the 214-home Hidden Trails, the 239-home Manor Parc, and the 253-home Central Parc communities.
According to the developer, The Woodlands community will feature a midcentury modern design aesthetic, over 160 acres of permanently preserved open space and lakes, landscaping features, a five-mile recreation trail, controlled access gates, and infrastructure and stormwater retention improvements.
The community will also feature a new state-of-the-art clubhouse with a fitness center, café, resort-style pool and spa, padel ball and tennis courts, and other amenities.
Tamarac’s city commission in March voted 3-2 to approve 13th Floor’s plan to build the community on the southwest corner of Commercial Boulevard and Rock Island Road.
Mayor Michelle Gomez and Commissioners Elvin Villalobos and Kicia Daniel voted to approve the project. Commissioner Marlon Bolton, the vice mayor at the time, voted with Commissioner Morey Wright against the project.
Opponents of the project said they were devastated by the commission’s decision. Many worried that the development would create gridlock by adding thousands more car trips to local roads. They said they were also concerned about arsenic levels in golf course soil that was heavily fertilized over the years and a loss of overall green space.
Other residents have supported the project and said it would be a boon to the city.

It's about time. This should revitalize the neighborhood with high end homes, hopefully encouraging some good restaurants to move into Tamarac.
Arsenic was not removed properly from their prior project in Tamarac court records show. Can't believe this project was approved…
