A Boston developer has kicked off construction at a 2,000-home community on County Road 210 in St. Johns County.
Freehold Communities has begun development of Shearwater, a master-planned community that will embrace "healthy living, engagement, connectivity, stewardship of nature and distinctive design," the company announced.

The 1,500-acre community will include 400,000 square feet of commercial retail, a K-8 school and 600 acres of open space.

The community will be west of Interstate 95.

Oh wait... (from 2011)
