After six years of construction, Center Point at Waterside is on track to be completed in 2025.

Ohio-based commercial real estate and development firm CASTO broke ground on the 50-acre mixed use development that occupies the southeast corner of University Parkway and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard in 2019.

Brett Hutchens, president of CASTO Southeast Realty, says the development will be the last of its kind in Lakewood Ranch simply because “there’s no parcel of land where this could be repeated.”
