No other significant large-scale new construction residential subdivisions, mixed-use, or commercial projects with confirmed announcements, groundbreaking, or recent completion (within ~3 years) were identified in Ridge Manor proper. Scattered individual custom or new single-family homes exist via local builders, and a rezoning proposal for ~108 single-family homes (Ville Di Toscana) was advanced in 2025, but limited public details confirm active construction. The area remains primarily rural with infrastructure supporting future growth.
