Persimmon Park: Future Planning for Legacy Wiregrass Ranch

One of the biggest master-planned communities in the Tampa Bay region continues to grow, with a similar exciting evolution taking place in its core area.

Wiregrass Ranch, located in Wesley Chapel just east of downtown Tampa, is a go-to choice for folks seeking their new custom Florida homes in Pasco County. There’s much to recommend it, and we at ICI Homes are happy to do so.

We’re preferred builders in Wiregrass Ranch’s Persimmon Park neighborhood, which also happens to be near the future new heart of the community — Legacy Wiregrass Ranch.

Announced in March by developer J.D. Porter, whose family has owned the land where Wiregrass Ranch stands for multiple generations, Legacy Wiregrass Ranch is a transformative project that will give residents a true community hub — not to mention even more amazing amenities and services.

Read on for more about future planning for Legacy Wiregrass Ranch.

A quick refresher

Legacy Wiregrass Ranch is being planned as a future “downtown” gathering spot. It will be located on the southeastern side of Wiregrass Boulevard, with State Road 56 as its southernmost boundary, and will feature shopping, dining and entertainment, along with expansive education and medical facilities.

Also on the board is 100,000 square feet of retail space and 100,000 square feet of office space. Look for a 1,500-space parking garage, a food hall and an entertainment facility with a 2,500-person capacity.

The breadth and size of Legacy Wiregrass Ranch is impressive, consider Porter and his development team are only embarking on Phase 1 of Legacy Wiregrass Ranch. Circle 2026 as a  likely Phase 1 completion date. A future hotel, conference center and even apartments also are planned, along with buildings from four to seven levels tall.

Wiregrass Ranch residents will know they’re truly “downtown!”

Proximity to Persimmon Park

Wiregrass Ranch Boulevard, which runs north and south between State Roads 54 and 56, is the community’s main thoroughfare. And it’s a big community — more than 5,000 acres — with plenty of space for future new custom Florida homes and development.

Persimmon Park is perfectly positioned to be within walking and cycling distance of Legacy Wiregrass Ranch. The latter’s southern boundary will be the intersection of S. R. 56 and Wiregrass Ranch Boulevard. A new Orlando Health Wiregrass Ranch Hospital began construction on this site earlier this year, with a projected opening date of 2026.

Legacy Wiregrass Ranch will begin taking shape around that timeframe, and fill in to the north of the new Orlando Health hospital — and just south of Persimmon Park. Talk about convenient!
