TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GL Homes, one of Florida's largest privately owned homebuilders, has officially broken ground on the Valencia Ridge Clubhouse, the future social hub at the premier 55+ active-adult community in the rapidly growing suburb of Wesley Chapel, just outside Tampa. Construction is underway, and the clubhouse is expected to be completed in mid-2026.
Spanning 25,722 a/c square feet, the Valencia Ridge Clubhouse will serve as the centerpiece for residents' social, recreational, and wellness activities. Planned amenities include a resort-style pool, three lighted tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, and three bocce courts. The clubhouse will also feature a full-service restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, bars, a fitness center and exercise studio, massage rooms, event spaces, a card room, and a sports lounge.
"The groundbreaking of the Valencia Ridge Clubhouse represents an exciting milestone for our community and the greater Tampa area," said Misha Ezratti, president of GL Homes. "This clubhouse will be the heart of daily life at Valencia Ridge, offering residents world-class amenities and social opportunities, reinforcing the 55+ lifestyle that defines the Valencia brand."
A full-time lifestyle director will curate more than 100 clubs, group fitness classes, and community events, from Broadway-style performances in the grand social hall to gatherings at the poolside bar and private dining experiences. Every aspect of the clubhouse has been designed to create a vibrant, connected community where residents can enjoy as active or leisurely a lifestyle as they choose.
This premier 55+ community is located just 30 minutes from Tampa Bay, providing convenient access to fine dining, nightlife, professional sports, and cultural events. For shopping, The Grove Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets are nearby, and Clearwater Beach is a short drive for beachgoers.
