New Development Proposed for Key Wesley Chapel Intersection

A new development, The Woods at Wesley Chapel, could soon take shape at the northwest corner of Curley Road and State Road 54— a road set to be permanently renamed Wesley Chapel Boulevard later this month. Over the years, the site has been the subject of various proposals, including plans for a Lowe’s home improvement store and a tax-exempt affordable housing project that was ultimately halted due to amendments to the Live Local Act.

Now, a new application has been submitted to Pasco County for a Master Planned Unit Development (MPUD) on the site. The proposal outlines plans for eight four-story apartment buildings, each featuring 10 residential units per floor. Two of the buildings would also include ground-floor commercial space. In addition, the project would incorporate two standalone, single-story commercial buildings, bringing the total planned commercial space to approximately 47,600 square feet.

If approved, the development would introduce 300 residential units to the area, consisting of 90 one-bedroom apartments, 150 two-bedroom apartments, and 60 three-bedroom apartments. Public hearings will be required before the project can proceed, though specific dates have yet to be determined.
