Summary, model-written

Proposed redevelopment of a closed golf course (closed 2019) into a 55+ residential community with 143 homes, redesigned golf course, clubhouse, and practice facilities. Status: proposed. Permits filed for 319 single-unit and 347 multi-unit residential units in 2024. Housing market context: ZORI rent $2,098 (2026-09), ZHVI $424,664. Nearby context: 4 projects within 10km (all Virginia Beach, 3 under construction/proposed).

Why. Record indicates housing demand (ZORI, permits), but no parcel details or specific deal terms. Status is proposed, not under construction. Golf course closure (2019) is the trigger.

Where it stands. Proposed. Permits filed for residential construction (2024), but no evidence of active development. Housing market data aligns with new-use strategy. Nearby projects (4 within 10km) include Bow Creek Park/Center (under construction) and Virginia Beach National (proposed).
