PulteGroup, Inc. has acquired approximately 419 acres of land in Pasco County to develop the new Explore by Del Webb Verona community. The project will feature 843 homesites, with construction beginning later this month and home sales scheduled to commence in mid-2027. This development aims to transform the site into a resort-inspired lifestyle destination along the SR-52 corridor, one of the fastest-developing areas in the region.

Project Details

Explore by Del Webb Verona will offer a range of luxury homes and amenities designed for active adults. The community will include fitness and movement studios, massage rooms, infrared saunas, cold plunges, a lazy river, pickleball courts, and a bar and grill. The project is part of the larger Verona master-planned vision, which is expected to eventually include 2,800 homesites, a school, commercial parcels, and preserved conservation areas.

Strategic Location

The Pasco County site was selected due to its thriving job market and growing reputation as a lifestyle destination. Future residents will have convenient access to I-75 and the Suncoast Expressway, connecting them to downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, and the Gulf Coast. The location provides access to dining, entertainment, and recreation opportunities.

Brand Expansion

Verona is the fourth community announced under the Explore by Del Webb brand and the second in Florida. It follows the successful launch of North River Ranch in Parrish. The brand builds on the Del Webb brand’s decades of experience to create lifestyle-focused communities for active adults seeking world-class amenities.

"Today’s homebuyers are looking for more than a home — they want amenities and a community that enhance their lifestyle," said Sean Strickler, President of PulteGroup’s West Florida Division. "Explore by Del Webb Verona will bring that vision to life with stunning home designs, outstanding amenities, wellness-focused programming and a community experience designed for how people want to live today."
