Construction has begun at Townes at Mirada, Lagoon-Front New Construction Townhomes by DRB Homes
Construction is underway at the Townes at Mirada, a new gated townhome community by DRB Homes, located in the heart of San Antonio, Florida. Nestled within the nation's largest man-made lagoon development, this project is drawing growing interest as it moves toward an anticipated mid to late summer sales launch. While pricing and floorplan details have yet to be officially released, construction of the model home is in progress and new architectural elevations are being introduced exclusively for this community. According to builder representatives, floorplans are expected to range between approximately 1,700 and 2,000 square feet and these are expected to be the only lagoon front townhomes in the community. Located just 10 minutes from the award-winning Epperson Lagoon community, the Townes at Mirada offers a rare opportunity for luxury townhome living in a resort-style setting. The centerpiece of the development is the 15-acre Mirada Lagoon, which provides residents with access to water sport recreation, beach-style lounging, miles of walking and golf cart trails, and year-round amenities. 'My DRB contact mentioned that he and his sales associates are excited because the developer is launching all new elevations at the Townes at Mirada, and they're on the edge of their seats waiting to see the final product,' said Damon Greene, an independent real estate agent with REAL Brokerage. 'This project is one to watch.' Greene, who specializes in new construction townhomes throughout the Tampa Bay and St. Pete markets, has been following the Mirada community closely and is also a resident. Known as The Luxury New Construction Townhome Guy and The Iconic Agent, Greene is not affiliated with DRB Homes but regularly provides construction updates and insight into new communities for interested buyers. 'There's a lot we don't know yet—final floorplans, exact pricing—but what we do know is this community will be something special,' Greene said. 'I'm here to help clients navigate the process from preview to purchase and beyond.' Mirada is part of Florida's Connected City initiative, which includes smart infrastructure, high-speed gigabit internet, and integrated services. The Townes at Mirada community will also include HOA-covered Wi-Fi, cable TV services, and family lagoon access, adding to its appeal for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance lifestyle. 'These townhomes don't feel like townhomes. I toured a similar DRB build at the sister property Epperson and was impressed by the design—it felt more like a single-family home,' Greene added. 'Lots of natural light, well-thought-out floorplans, and great curb appeal. I've even considered purchasing one for myself in the upcoming year. The DRB townhomes are by far the nicest townhomes at the lagoons.' Greene reports that progress at the Townes at Mirada is moving quickly, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks. He plans to provide ongoing updates to keep potential buyers informed as additional details are released.
