In an interview with GrowthSpotter, BTI Partners CEO Noah Breakstone discussed the firm's role in developing some of the biggest master-planned communities in Central Florida, where it has planted a $43 million flag on Polk County’s U.S. 27 corridor.

For the first time, Mr. Breakstone discussed the company’s plans for a 1,841-acre master-planned community in the City of Lake Wales at the intersection of U.S. 27 at Thompson Nursery Road, across from Eagle Ridge Mall. The transaction closed in late 2021, months after the sellers received annexation and zoning approvals to add 6,100 residential units and 725,000 square feet of commercial, office and assisted living space to the city. There’s also land earmarked for two schools, a library and fire station.
