M/I Homes Expands TurnLeaf Community With New Homes in Punta Gorda

M/I Homes is expanding its footprint in Southwest Florida with new single-family homes planned for the TurnLeaf master-planned community in Punta Gorda, as residential development continues to accelerate along the Gulf Coast.

The homebuilder announced plans to introduce an initial phase of 31 single-family homes on 50-foot homesites, marking its entry into the growing TurnLeaf development. The company indicated it intends to expand its presence over time as the broader community continues to evolve.

TurnLeaf is located along the rapidly developing Burnt Store corridor, west of Interstate 75, an area that has become a focal point for new residential growth in Southwest Florida. The region’s proximity to beaches, retail centers and recreational amenities continues to attract both builders and homebuyers.

New Homes Designed for Modern Living

The homes planned by M/I Homes are expected to reflect current market demand, featuring open-concept floor plans, modern design elements and flexible living spaces tailored to a variety of lifestyles.

“In a community like TurnLeaf, growth is about more than new homes—it’s about creating spaces where people can truly connect and build a sense of belonging,” said Danielle Calamela, vice president of sales and marketing at M/I Homes. “Being part of a community of this scale allows us to contribute to that experience by offering thoughtfully designed homes that support the way people live today.”

The addition of M/I Homes is expected to enhance the overall housing mix within TurnLeaf, providing new options for buyers seeking modern homes in a master-planned environment.

Southwest Florida Growth Continues to Drive Development

The TurnLeaf community reflects broader trends shaping residential construction across Southwest Florida, where population growth and lifestyle preferences are driving demand for large-scale developments.

Master-planned communities in the region are increasingly designed to integrate housing with outdoor amenities, walkable spaces and access to natural surroundings — features that appeal to both retirees and younger families relocating to the Gulf Coast.

Located within one of Florida’s fastest-growing corridors, TurnLeaf offers residents access to nearby beaches as well as shopping, dining and recreational opportunities. The development’s expansion is part of a wider wave of construction activity reshaping the Punta Gorda area.

M/I Homes, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, operates in multiple markets across the United States and is known for its focus on design, construction quality and customer experience.

As TurnLeaf continues to grow, the addition of new housing inventory is expected to support the region’s ongoing residential expansion and provide more opportunities for homebuyers seeking to enter the Southwest Florida market.
