Notes: Lehigh Acres has extensive ongoing single-family residential construction activity, with thousands of building permits issued in recent years by builders including D.R. Horton, Lennar, LGI Homes, Christopher Alan Homes, Holiday Builders, Adams Homes, and others—often on scattered lots or smaller infill sites in addition to the named communities above. Lee County reports dozens of active developments with thousands of residential units in the pipeline overall. Only named or larger-scale verifiable projects with specific details are listed here. Infrastructure projects (e.g., Abal Canal Greenway, stormwater facilities) and recently completed small commercial sites (e.g., 7-Eleven) exist but are not detailed as primary new construction “projects” per the query focus. Information is current as of September 2026 sources.
