Just a few miles around the corner from where I live in Riverview is what was to be known as Triple Creek. Triple Creek is located near the intersection of Big Bend Rd and Balm Riverview Rd.
Triple Creek was supposed to be a large gated community of over 2,000 homes & townhomes ranging in size from 1,500 to 4,000 sq ft. Planned community amenities included a town center and a 6,000 sq ft clubhouse.
Triple Creek is located next to Balm-Boyette Scrub Nature Preserve. The 5,000-acre preserve features 21.5 miles of hiking and biking trails.
Sounds like a great community, eh? Well....this is what it looks like today....
It appears as if they have abandoned the entire project as of now. Trees are tipped over into the road, weeds and brush are overgrown onto the sidewalks and medians. Weeds are about waist high around the concrete block homes they started, but never finished. There are a few homes that were built and look like they were completed or are nearly completed, that were probably going to be the models. Some of the windows have been broken out of the homes, so who knows what type of damage or vandalism has been done to the inside of the homes.
It's a shame this community is now a ghost town. Abandoned. Not a single construction worker, car or truck in the subdivision. Hopefully, they will be able to get moving on this project again soon!
We have a couple of areas like that around Northern Virginia. One of them was going to be the next biggest thing and now it sits with roads done, a golf course and no houses. When the market picks up it will be interesting to see if it can still take off.
We have a couple of these here also, I've started to notice lumber and even the tools that were left behind starting to disappear in the middle of the night.
Becky, That is such a shame. Looks like some might big homes there too.
Becky, Hi i seen the homes in triple creek today they are wonderful would you know how i could find the owners or banks for these homes im interrested in one of them thank you
Becky, it's a shame that this is happening, unfortunately it's not only in Hillsborough County, it's all over. I remember Rotunda, soth of Sarasota, same thing many moons ago, it did take awhile, but it came backl. Thing will get better, hopefully soon..
