Wellington is in line for a new walkable village center, as Related Ross has rolled out plans for Village Landing, a mixed-use project set to pack in shops, restaurants, office space and a 180-key, residence-style Hilton hotel. At the heart of the proposal is a lake with a boardwalk and a roughly quarter-mile loop trail, ringed by plazas, interactive fountains, a playground and a dog park. The developers say the whole setup is meant to function as an everyday hub for dining, errands and community programming.
What Village Landing Will Offer
According to Village Landing, the plan calls for retail and fitness brands along landscaped promenades and a main street, paired with a dining mix that runs from fast-casual spots to chef-driven lakeside restaurants. The site also details professional and co-working office space, programmed public plazas and a resort-style pool with amenities geared to extended-stay guests at the hotel. Retail leasing information and a contact for prospective tenants are posted on the project pages.
Where It Will Be Built
Village Landing is proposed for the southwest corner of Stribling Way and U.S. 441/SR-7 at 10400 Stribling Way on roughly 71.27 acres, according to Village of Wellington. Those council documents show rezoning and conditional-use approvals earlier this year along with building-height allowances and parcel information tied to the master plan. The staff packet also includes the proposed site plan, parcel control numbers and the village’s findings for the mixed-use planned development.
Developer Pitch And Local Fit
Related Ross is pitching Village Landing as a project “rooted in Wellington’s distinct character” and tailored to both full-time residents and seasonal equestrian visitors. Webber Hudson, an executive at Related Ross, called it “a true neighborhood destination,” as reported by CBS12. The design leans heavily on walkability and programmed open space to encourage evening and weekend foot traffic, and supporters say a consolidated town-center with hotels, dining and shopping would address a long-standing local gap.
Next Steps
The developer has not disclosed a construction or opening timeline, and the project website simply invites visitors to “stay in the know” for future updates and announcements. Retail and leasing inquiries are directed to Whitney Wiese through the Village Landing pages, and the project team still needs to secure final permits and construction approvals before any groundbreaking can begin.
