Additional notes: Other mentions include conceptual or early-stage plans such as a larger D.R. Horton residential project (Beresford Reserve area, ~408 lots) and various industrial/mixed-use concepts (e.g., DeLand Tech Park), but these lack sufficient confirmed active construction or near-term details for inclusion. Individual new home builds (e.g., phases of Cresswind DeLand by Kolter Homes) appear ongoing but are not named large-scale projects. No major commercial-only projects met the strict criteria with verifiable details.
