PARK SQUARE ENTERPRISES bring new development to Kissimmee

Park Square Enterprises Inc. plans to break ground this month on model homes in a new 100-home residential community in Kissimmee called Sonoma Resort.

The Orlando-based homebuilder said one- and two-story homes will range from 1,800-4,000 square feet with four to seven bedrooms and will be priced from the mid-$300,000s. The project is slated to create hundreds of temporary construction jobs, while also bring new homes to a growing part of Osceola County.

This appears to be the first phase of Sonoma at Tapestry, a planned 325-resort home community that was in the planning stages last April.

KISSIMMEE - development on the move

KISSIMMEE development on the move

A piece of Osceola County's ranching history made a move to a new home Tuesday, as it made way for a future subdivision.

An early 20th century caretaker's house from the Henry O. Partin ranch made the journey by truck to Shingle Creek Regional Park, where it will serve as a welcome center and office space for the Osceola County Historical Society's Pioneer Village.

The small wooden house — with 1950s era furnishings and even shoes still inside — had sat vacant long enough to become entombed in a tangle of trees and vines that grew up around it.
