ISLAMORADA, Fla. - Sun Communities, a nationwide operator of RV and manufactured home properties, announces their initiation in rebuilding Florida RV properties that were damaged during Hurricane Irma. Sun Communities executives said they plan to “offer new homes for returning residents” at below cost. The San Pedro Mobile Home Park and Sea Breeze Mobile Home Park are a couple parks affected and are owned by Sun Communities. Islamorada’s Planning and Development Services Department has announced an intent to issue approval of site plans for both parks, which total a combined 150 units.
According to the article by Campground E-News, "The next phase, Planning Director Ty Harris said, would be the proposed development plan." Sun Communities also has acquired a property that previously separated the two parks and plans to eventually combine all three parcels. The new property “will be integrated into the overall community,” James Hoekstra, Sun Communities senior vice president, said in July. The company plans to install some elevated manufactured homes, but other sites will be limited by Islamorada rules to RV-type trailers that can be moved in the approach of a storm. Company executives were aiming to reopen in early 2019, but with the planning process still underway and construction not started, that timeline appears highly uncertain.
