Background & Approval
The developer, Hillpointe, keeps costs lower by maintaining vertical integration—handling land acquisition, design, manufacturing, construction, and property management in-house. The project’s site plan was approved by the Lakeland City Commission in a 6-1 vote following adjustments to address neighborhood input regarding traffic, height, and parking.
