The estimated aggregate value of sales to date is $35 million. The homes at the former Orlando Naval Training Center site are priced from $190,000 to $1 million-plus.

In a prepared statement, Baldwin Park Development Co. managing director David Pace says the sales mark was reached "in spite of the fact that we have no models yet and the parks and Village Center are not ready." He calls that achievement "pretty remarkable."

Pace says the project's success to date is "due in part to the increased awareness of traditional neighborhood developments." He says, "People can visualize what a traditional neighborhood is now because they have seen them in other places." But Pace says "the big difference here is that buyers at Baldwin Park can have the benefits of a new, traditional neighborhood in an in town location, instead of the suburbs."
