Vicar’s Landing, in conjunction with Alta Mar, officially announced its plans for the expansion of the retirement community and the modernization of the Oak Bridge golf course.
The announcement took place on Feb. 4 at the 3 Palms Grille, overlooking the construction of the new course. In addition to revamping the Oak Bridge golf course, the land lease will allow for 238 senior living units.
The expansion has come as no small feat, occurring to Dave Miller, owner of Oak Bridge. Plans had been in place as early as four years prior. Due to adjustments with the area HOA and residence requests, however, construction has been delayed.
“We went through two different deals,” Miller said. “Anytime you try to bring about change into a community that's as established as this, you meet with resistance. But everyone rode in the same direction at the end of the day, including the PGA TOUR. We are all going to be better off for it.”
Currently, Vicar’s Landing is facing a 7 ½ year wait list for admittance. Bruce Jones, CEO of Vicar’s Landing, said he is looking forward to the expansion of the 30-year-old retirement community, whose presence is “part of the fabric of Ponte Vedra Beach.”
