WCI scouts Jacksonville, Orlando

WCI Communities is scouting sites in Jacksonville, Orlando and other areas of Florida where it plans build new residential communities.

Jacksonville would mark the Bonita Springs-based development company's first foray into Northeast Florida. WCI emerged from bankruptcy reorganization in 2009 and has since successfully raised capital by selling debt and equity in an initial public offering of stock.

In the transcript of a call with investors recently and posted on SeekingAlpha.com, WCI president and CEO Keith Bass revealed two previously undisclosed deals: “We also contracted for approximately 1,400 additional home sites, including a potential large master-planned community in Jacksonville, making our initial entry into this market, and a large master-planned community in Fort Myers.”
