Bucking the national trend, five homes in Lakewood Ranch are either planned this year or already under construction. Each are 10,000 square feet or larger, and all are located in The Lake Club -- the ranch's most exclusive gated community, according to Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the developers of Lakewood Ranch.
London Bay Homes is building a 14,000-square-foot house, now under construction, and a 13,000-square-foot home planned to break ground soon. Todd Johnston Homes has a 17,000-square-foot home planned to begin construction this year that takes up three home sites. Paradise Homes also has a 19,000-square-foot home that will be built on two of the subdivision's lots, the company said.
The largest of them all: Westwater Construction has a whopping 20,000-square-foot mansion soon to break ground. That's the equivalent of about eight 2,500-square-foot homes, which is considered a healthy size for the general middle class.
What does one do with all of that space?
