A massive — and perhaps historic — land deal has closed in the Wellness Way area of Lake County.

GT Homes Wellness Way II LP — an entity related to GT USA, a Fort Lauderdale-based partnership between Canadian homebuilders Greenpark Group and Treasure Hill — closed Sept. 27 on an assemblage of more than 2,400 acres for a sales price of $166.5 million, Orlando Business Journal has learned.

Land brokers Daryl Carter and Conrad Carter of Orlando-based Maury L. Carter and Associates Inc. told Orlando Business Journal they partnered with Tony Roper and Jimmy Roper of Roper Real Estate to represent the sellers — a group that included Arnold Groves & Ranch Ltd. and trusts related to the Roper family — in the transaction.

Jim Dowd of Celebration-based Dowd Properties Inc. represented the buyers.

A deed has not posted yet to Lake County records. In a statement, Daryl Carter indicated the transaction may be the largest in Central Florida’s history.

A prominent Orlando-based developer behind popular developments such as O-Town West and Icon Park hopes to break ground at the beginning of next year on a project that will ultimately deliver 807 housing units to the rapidly growing Four Corners area.

Unicorp National Developments has plans for a pair of adjacent PDs on a total of 167.8 acres at 14545 Avalon Rd. The vast majority of that land consists of the 154-acre Sutton Lakes PD on property owned by Westgate Resorts. The development plan for Sutton Lakes calls for 304 apartments built over six buildings, along with 155 single-family homes, 98 townhomes, and 20,000 square feet of commercial space.

Unicorp also wants to partner with mall owner Bancorp to redevelop the aging Fashion Square Mall at 3201 E Colonial Dr. Unicorp and investor/broker Daryl Carter bought the 46-acre mall property in 2019 for $23 million.
