At a time when builders all across the country are experiencing significant losses, I guess it isn't surprising that Lennar has sold all its interests in the Epperson Ranch Wesley Chapel project. The Tampa Tribune reports the 1,742 acres and the 3,905 homesites that Lennar recently secured with Pasco County and regional planners have been sold to Metro Development Group.The project commitments for the realignment of Curley road and the Town Center pass on to Metro.Additionally, the "silence has been deafening" on the residential portion of the approved massive 5,000 acre Wiregrass Ranch project in Wesley Chapel.

By CHUIN-WEI YAP, Times Staff Writer Published November 13, 2007 WESLEY CHAPEL - These machines may be feats of human engineering, but when it comes to selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles in Wesley Chapel, the Ferman family is taking a distinctly folksy approach. They're designing their latest Harley dealership with the woodsy look of a Cabela's hunting supplies store, said Clarke Hobby, the dealership's attorney. The county's top staff planners last Thursday cleared the final hurdles for the Ferman family's Gulf Coast Harley-Davidson dealership to move into 31,000 square feet on County Road 54 and Old Cypress Creek Road.
