Brookfield Residential, a leading land developer and homebuilder in North America, is pleased to announce the launch of a strategic joint venture with Trez Capital, a leader in North American commercial real estate investments, to develop a new master-planned community in Central Florida named Osprey Creek. This project marks an expansion of Brookfield Residential’s presence in the Florida market, with the development set to meet the growing demand for high-quality residential communities.
The joint venture will see Brookfield Residential and Trez Capital combine their expertise in land development and capital deployment to deliver premium residential communities. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to responsible development and creating communities that enhance residents’ quality of life.
Osprey Creek is a master-planned community in Polk County, Florida, offering over 900 residential lots. Located approximately 35 miles south of Orlando, this development will feature traditional single-family homes with an emphasis on affordability for first-time buyers. The community is conveniently situated near major transportation routes and area attractions, making it an ideal location for young families, retirees, and professionals.

“Partnering with Brookfield Residential marks the beginning of a strong and strategic relationship that combines deep development expertise with disciplined capital deployment,” said John D. Hutchinson, co-CEO and global head of origination at Trez Capital. “The Osprey Creek community is an excellent example of our ability to identify and invest in high-potential real estate projects that provide lasting value for our investors.”
Sam Salloway, senior managing director, head of equity investments at Trez Capital, added, “Florida continues to lead the nation in population growth, and this joint venture solidifies our confidence in the region’s long-term fundamentals as part of our broader strategy to partner with industry leaders in delivering thoughtfully planned communities that address long-term market demand.”
The joint venture will benefit from both companies’ strong relationships with an institutional homebuilder and help meet the demand for housing in rapidly growing areas of Florida.
