Babcock Ranch Layout
Babcock Ranch will be a self-contained community with residential areas as well as commercial space, light industry, retail and civic space. The development includes four villages, five hamlets including Lake Timber and a walkable downtown area featuring 8,000 homes, offices, shopping, restaurants and office parks.

Founder’s Square
Babcock Ranch is anchored by its Downtown District known as Founder’s Square. Woodlea Hall is the first civic building in the community and it home to an information center. The Table & Tap Restaurant sits in a prominent lakefront location in Founder’s Square and offers a farm-to-table cuisine along with an outdoor beer garden featuring selections from local breweries. Curry Creek Outfitters is located adjacent to Woodlea Hall and caters to hikers, bikers, kayakers and fishermen. Other Founder’s Square amenities include a fishing pier, event lawn, splash pad and lakefront boardwalk.
Babcock Ranch Green Initiatives
A cornerstone of the Babcock Ranch community is that it will be the first solar-powered city in the country. In conjunction with Florida Power & Light Company, the community will be powered by a massive 75-megawatt solar photovoltaic array which sits adjacent to the community. This array when completed is expected to be the largest in the world.
Commercial buildings and homes in Babcock Ranch will be energy efficient and constructed to the standards of the Florida Green Building Coalition. A tech center with an emphasis on research and development for clean energy will be located at Babcock Ranch.
