Wiregrass Legacy Phase 1: What You Need to Know as Construction Kicks Off

Construction is underway at Legacy Wiregrass Ranch, the 30-acre mixed-use centerpiece of Wesley Chapel’s emerging downtown. Right across from the future Wiregrass Ranch Medical Pavilion I—where groundbreaking just happened recently—at the Strickland Ave./Wiregrass Ranch Blvd. roundabout, it’s set to create a vibrant, walkable destination blending offices, dining, hotels, and homes—all steps from the rising medical hub.

Wiregrass’s Long-Awaited Core

The Shops at Wiregrass helped spark the area’s growth years ago, drawing crowds for shopping and concerts as neighborhoods expanded nearby. With Orlando Health’s new Orlando Health Wesley Chapel Hospital opening next month, Legacy Wiregrass Ranch will help shape the next phase — a lively town center this master-planned community has long needed, designed as a compact hub bringing new energy to the mix.

The Porter family, longtime visionaries behind Wiregrass Ranch, see this 130-acre site (starting with Phase 1’s 30 acres) as the spark. Buildings line the streets, plazas create gathering spaces, and trails link the entire community—no sprawling parking lots in sight.

First Buildings on the Horizon

Construction now underway marks the start of two modern mid-rise office towers totaling 150,000 square feet, designed to serve professionals working in and around the region’s growing medical corridor. Adjacent will be a 150-room hotel, complete with 15,000 square feet of conference space for gatherings big and small—from corporate meetings to weddings and local celebrations.
