Maitland-based developer Ralph Singleton has submitted plans for two separate projects in recent weeks as he works to fill the remaining land within his more than 80-acre Tyson Ranch mixed-use site just south of the Orlando International Airport.

The Bainbridge Companies signed on to the Tyson Ranch project in 2019 with plans to build a 324-unit apartment community. But in December of 2021, Arlington Properties bought that land from Singleton instead for $10 million.

That deal was brokered by James Dowd, president of Dowd Properties, Inc. He and Daryl Carter own land across the street from the Tyson Ranch site on Boggy Creek Road. They’ve filed plans for 350 apartment units and 15,000 square feet of commercial on 22 acres here.

Growth along Boggy Creek Road, near rural subdivision, prompts planning changes for Orange County | GrowthSpotter

Orange County planners are working to ensure a neighborhood with large lots, grazing cattle and older homes a mile south of Lake Nona doesn’t lose its rural character to all of the fast-approaching urban growth.

The county is in the midst of updating its long-term comprehensive plan to shape how the Orlando area should look by the year 2050. One point of focus is a roughly one-mile stretch of Boggy Creek Road between S.R. 417 and the Osceola County line that’s currently being widened from two to four lanes.

The provision will impact the way developer Daryl Carter builds out his plan for 23 acres of ranch land on the east side of Boggy Creek Road, between Whispering Pines Road and the Osceola County line. The Bennett Place property backs right up to Kissimmee Farms.

For two years, he’s sought approval of mixed-use project that would bring 50,000 square feet of commercial and medical office space, a possible hospital or care facility with up to 150 beds, a hotel with up to 200 rooms and 350 multifamily units.
