Orlando – M/I Homes is set to begin construction on 93 new front-loaded townhomes in East Orlando this July after recently acquiring a 14.3-acre infill site located at 2416 S Goldenrod Rd for $6.9 million. The approved site plan features townhomes on 20-foot-wide lots, with prices expected to start from the mid to high $400,000s. Homes are projected to go on sale in early summer of 2026, providing new housing options in the rapidly growing area.
The development is strategically situated just south of AdventHealth East Orlando and offers convenient access to downtown Orlando, which is only a 10-minute drive away. The community will feature various amenities, including a dog park, multiple green spaces, and a walking path surrounding a retention pond, catering to the needs and preferences of future residents.
This first phase of the project marks a slight reduction from the original proposal, which included 94 townhomes. Although M/I Homes is now planning for 93 homes, they are concurrently working on a second phase of development that was initially projected for 96 additional townhomes. However, recent changes have limited this second phase to only 40 lots, following the removal of a 2.8-acre parcel from the plans, which was previously owned by the Orlando Church of Christ. Consequently, the overall development now comprises a total of 133 townhomes across both phases instead of the initially proposed 190.
As part of the revised plans, a proposed amenity area has also been eliminated from the northwestern corner of the second phase. This shift aims to enhance the remaining development while still providing necessary features for the community.
M/I Homes is recognized in the Orlando housing market, ranked seventh among local homebuilders by Zonda. In 2024, the company achieved a 4.4% market share, with 613 closings. Their commitment to developing high-quality homes aligns with the growing demand for housing in East Orlando.
In addition to M/I Homes’ upcoming projects, Palm Property Partners is actively planning another townhome project comprising 106 lots on a narrow 4.8-acre parcel located at 7240 Pershing Ave. These townhomes are expected to be front-loaded and will offer approximately 1,080 square feet of living space on 20-foot-wide lots. Construction on a separate Palm Property Partners project, which will provide 54 additional townhome lots in the same vicinity, is already underway.
The increased focus on townhome developments in East Orlando highlights the area’s growth and the ongoing demand for more housing options in a convenient location. As construction progresses on both M/I Homes and Palm Property Partners projects, residents of East Orlando can anticipate more diverse living opportunities in the near future.
