Builder Intelligence
Only STR Community in Wellness Way
Panther Run is the only Wellness Way community purpose-built with STR-eligible units (~1,000 vacation rentals). All other major HOAs ban short-term rentals. If STR is your strategy, Panther Run is the only option.
2,400-Acre Scale
GT USA's 2,400-acre site is the largest single development in the corridor — a resort district within Wellness Way, not a residential community.
Two 600-Room Hotels
The hotel component creates sustained STR demand from event overflow — sports tournaments, conferences, and corporate retreats at Olympus drive hospitality demand that spills into nearby STR units.
55+ Active Adult Component
A dedicated 55+ section with age-restricted amenities alongside the STR and all-ages residential components — three buyer segments in one master plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wellness Way corridor in Clermont FL?
Wellness Way is a 15,000+ acre planned mixed-use development corridor in Clermont, Lake County FL, anchored by the future Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) health campus and several new master-planned residential communities. The corridor runs along the Olympus development near US-27 and FL-50, approximately 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 30-35 minutes from the I-4 corridor. Communities in the corridor include Del Webb Lakehaven, Esplanade at McKinnon Groves, Hickory Groves, Panther Run, Integra Heights, Lakehaven Estates, Parkside Trails, Reflections at Olympus, and Wellness Ridge. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873.
Is Wellness Way a good place to buy in 2026?
Wellness Way and the Clermont/Olympus corridor offer new construction in a market that is 20-25 minutes from Disney World, has significant infrastructure investment underway (Olympus development, US-27 widening, new Lake County schools), and has lower price points than comparable Orlando/Orange County communities. Lake County has no CDD in most Wellness Way communities (check with OLH for each specific community), which reduces monthly cost of ownership.
