About Myrtlebrook Preserve

Myrtlebrook Preserve has been in the news, so you may have heard of it - It was originally slated to be Lakeland's first solar microgrid community, developed in partnership with a renewal energy company called BlockEnergy and Lakeland Electric. We were thrilled to offer such a unique housing opportunity in Lakeland and disappointed when BlockEnergy decided to wind down business operations and therefore pulled out of the partnership. However, we pivoted and continued to develop Myrtlebrook Preserve to provide much-needed housing for Lakeland's growing population.

Within the neighborhood, open space, ponds, and trails combine to create a park-like setting for 77 new construction homes with desirable home designs and attainable pricing.
