Palm Coast, Florida, is rapidly evolving—and 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for development across the city. From new housing communities to infrastructure upgrades and tech investments, this coastal community is balancing strategic growth with quality of life. Whether you’re relocating, investing, or just curious about what’s ahead, here’s your inside look at the biggest projects shaping Palm Coast’s future.
Residential Growth: New Communities on the Rise
Kensington at Old Kings leads the charge as Palm Coast’s first development under Florida’s Live Local Act. This age-restricted community will feature 113 homes, with at least 40% dedicated to affordable housing for residents earning up to 120% of the area median income. Construction is well underway, and the project also includes four acres of future commercial space—creating a true mixed-use neighborhood.
Other key residential projects include:
-
Somerset Subdivision – 147 new homes by KB Home, actively selling.
-
The Enclave at Seminole Palms – 182 homes by Maronda Homes with resort-style amenities.
-
The Retreat at Town Center – 161 homes and duplexes by Toll Brothers, offering paired villas and single-family homes.
These developments are helping meet demand while offering a range of price points and home styles.
Balancing Growth with Affordability
Palm Coast’s leadership continues to focus on affordable housing and responsible growth. The City Council has moderated high-density proposals to manage infrastructure strain and maintain community character. The Live Local Act plays a pivotal role in ensuring long-term affordability and sustainability.
Commercial & Industrial Progress
One of 2025’s biggest headlines was the rejection of the Belvedere Terminals fuel depot, reflecting strong community input and a focus on thoughtful development.
Meanwhile, the DC Blox data center, known internally as Project Orchid, is moving forward in Town Center. The project includes vital undersea cable landings in Flagler Beach—transforming Palm Coast into a digital infrastructure hub and opening doors for tech investment.
Enhanced Community Amenities
A standout 2025 project is the new YMCA in Town Center, set on 12 acres and featuring a 44,000-square-foot facility, two levels, and a massive Olympic-sized pool. With state funding secured, this is a major win for community wellness and recreation.
Also coming soon: The Promenade, a stylish mixed-use development bringing new retail, dining, and residential energy to the heart of Palm Coast.
Infrastructure Investments
Palm Coast is actively executing a five-year pavement management plan, improving key roads with microsurfacing for safer, longer-lasting streets. The city is also building a new Maintenance Operations Center and has received $5 million in state funding to modernize its wastewater system—critical upgrades as the population grows.
