Babcock Ranch: Built to Weather the Storm | Sunshine State Edition

The New Home Insights Podcast On the Road: Sunshine State Edition heads to Babcock Ranch, the latest stop on our tour of Florida’s best master plans, with more episodes to come. Dean Wehrli sits down with Tom Hoban, President and Chief Investment Officer of Kitson & Partners, to trace how a 91,000-acre ranch became a new town of 17,000 residents with more than 90% of the original land in permanent preservation. They cover Babcock’s rise as the first solar-powered town, the smart water system that kept the community dry and powered through Hurricane Ian, a downtown built from day one, builder partnerships that push innovation, and the Innovation Neighborhood that comes next.
