New mixed-use district set to transform Babcock Ranch in 2026

Wednesday, April 23, 2025

BABCOCK RANCH, Fla., April 23, 2025 – Babcock Ranch, America’s first solar-powered town, today unveiled details about its next major development: B Street. Slated to open in mid 2026, this walkable, mixed-use district will add a vibrant layer of connectivity and energy to the sustainability-centric community.

“B Street isn’t just about expansion; it’s further shaping the identity of Babcock Ranch,” said Syd Kitson, chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners. “Babcock Ranch was designed to seamlessly integrate sustainability with everyday life. B Street embodies that vision, where creativity, commerce, and community seamlessly blend.”

B Street will serve as the heart of Babcock Ranch’s WestTown, complementing the existing downtown district and designed to be a hub for both residents and visitors. It will offer a curated mix of shopping, dining, office space, and residential options. Leasing is currently underway for the new development, which spans 111,000 square feet and includes:
• 10 retail buildings (two-story options) totaling 68,900 square feet.
• A 42,000-square-foot office building featuring sustainable air filtration systems and 21,000 square feet of ground-level retail space.
• Approximately 1,000 parking spaces.
• Two residential buildings offering 140 apartments with private amenities.

“The addition of B Street positions Babcock Ranch as a dynamic center for both work and play,” said Kitson. “Whether it’s a business looking for sustainable, collaborative office space, a chef launching a new concept, or a resident enjoying live music in the park, B Street brings it all together in one thoughtful destination.”

B Street marks the latest milestone in Babcock Ranch’s 6-million-square-foot commercial expansion, joining developments like Crescent B Commons and the upcoming Shoppes at Yellow Pine. Embracing green spaces and walkable charm, it connects to the town’s extensive trail network and offers a lively mix of arts, live music, and culinary experiences.
