A Florida developer on Wednesday announced plans for a 740-acre mixed-use development including single-family and multifamily residential offerings, a hotel, retail and restaurant sites, and recreation amenities.
The development, called Wildhaven, is from An Ki Land Development of Sarasota, Florida. An exact address was not available, but ccording to map coordinates in sales presentation documents, the project will be located in Denton extraterritorial jurisdiction near the intersection of North Locust Street and Milam Road East.

Wildhaven will include approximately 150 high-end homes, up to 500 multifamily units, a 120-bed hotel, two restaurants, a spa and commercial buildings. The project will include a strong outdoor and hospitality emphasis, including hundreds of acres dedicated to recreation and an equestrian-centered component, according to the company.
“Wildhaven is proud to offer a residential development that demonstrates our deep commitment to environmental stewardship and North Texas’s natural landscape,” said Logan Breen, managing director, in a news release. “Every aspect of our project will reflect our environmental commitment. We want to offer residents a thoughtfully designed community that grows with the land, not against it.”

Phase 1 of the project will see the development of 86 acres of land already owned by An Ki Land. That part will include homes on about 25 buildable lots of 1 to 2 acres each, multifamily offerings with up to 500 units on 27 acres, along with two commercial parcels. Phase 2 will encompass 548 acres of land currently controlled by An Ki Land, and will consist of 126 buildable lots and a club-resort hotel component.
“Wildhaven will be unlike any other development in North Texas,” said Larry Spelts, part of the development team.
“This development is intended to serve buyers and residents seeking a high-end, experience-driven lifestyle in a market characterized by strong demand and limited inventory,” he said.
Massive master-planned communities like Wildhaven have been transforming Denton County’s open land into residential and commercial hubs. In Nov. 2025, Hillwood broke ground on the first phase of Landmark, a $10 billion, 3,200-acre master-planned community at Interstate 35W and Robson Ranch Road with more than 3,000 homes planned that will be built out over 40 years.
