Energy Innovation Park
Homes for Sale in Dover, FL

Energy Innovation Park is a newly-approved residential entitlement in eastern Hillsborough County, near Dover and State Road 60 between Tampa and Plant City (ZIP 33527). On March 11, 2026 the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners voted 5-1 to modify the roughly 3,000-acre planned development, which had been entitled almost entirely for heavy industrial and energy uses, to allow up to 1,200 homes in a section designated 'Pocket E.' No builder, product mix, pricing, HOA or CDD has been published, and no homesites have been released, so this page tracks the project's progress rather than a home you can tour today. The site sits inside the county's Urban Service Boundary, which is what makes water, sewer and paved-road infrastructure a near-term rather than distant question.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

The reason Energy Innovation Park earns a page now is the scale and the location. Converting up to 1,200 homes onto a site that previously carried entitlements for roughly 7 million square feet of heavy industrial space is a meaningful addition of ownership inventory in a corridor squeezed between built-out Brandon/Valrico to the west and Plant City to the east. It lands inside the Urban Service Boundary, so the infrastructure question is when, not whether.

Two things make this different from a typical suburban launch. First, it is a 'pocket' conversion inside a larger mixed-use PD that also contemplates hotel and commercial uses, so buffering and separation from surrounding commercial activity are part of the approved plan and worth reviewing on the site plan. Second, the environmental overlay is real and specific: proximity to the Sydney Mine Superfund site triggered radiation and groundwater conditions the developer must clear before permits issue. Neither point is a verdict; both are due-diligence items a buyer should confirm in writing.

Everything on the product side is still open. There is no announced builder, no confirmed split between single-family and attached homes, no price band, and no published HOA or CDD structure. Regional context on State Road 60 traffic and the county's broader Urban Service Area expansion in Balm and Wimauma suggests the corridor is being planned for substantial growth, but the specifics for this project should be confirmed against county records and the eventual developer's filings.

For a project this early, our value is tracking and verification. We can watch the county docket for the developer of record, the first plat, and the release of homesites, and get you on the interest list the moment a builder is named rather than after the first phase is spoken for.

We also read the fine print that matters most here: the status of the pre-permit environmental testing, any CDD assessment layered onto the site, and the eventual HOA budget and what it covers. On a converted industrial parcel next to a Superfund site, the paper trail is the product, and we will make sure the record supports the pitch before you commit a deposit.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
