Transforming bold ideas into thriving communities takes more than vision – it requires precision, collaboration, and expertise across every phase of development. At CFB, our multidisciplinary team brings surveying, GIS, engineering, and geospatial services together to support the full project lifecycle.
One standout example of this approach is Eastport Town Center, a 250-acre destination in The Villages®, Florida. Designed for recreation, shopping, dining, and entertainment, Eastport is built around Central Lake and has a network of pedestrian-friendly trails that make the area both scenic and accessible.
Bringing Eastport to life meant aligning data, design, and development across multiple teams. Every detail was guided by our commitment to accuracy, speed, and seamless coordination.
Our Land Surveying team initiated the project by conducting detailed topographic and boundary surveys. This foundational data served as the starting point for all design, permitting, and construction planning, ensuring every phase started with precise information.
Using drone technology and advanced data collection, our Geospatial team collected high-resolution aerial imagery and topographic data to support design decisions and monitor construction progress. This aerial data allowed for unmatched visibility and precision throughout the project.

Our GIS team provided dynamic spatial visuals that helped stakeholders understand site constraints, opportunities, and development phases. From detailed layouts to spatial analysis, this work helped drive smart, informed decision-making.
With accurate data in hand, our Civil Engineering division designed the essential infrastructure – roads, utilities, drainage systems that support everything from the Olympia Recreation Complex to the Bellaire Executive Golf Course.
“Eastport has been an exciting project to work on considering it’s the first town center The Villages has created since Brownwood, which was already well underway when I started with CFB 12 years ago. Seeing a town center come together from conception has been fascinating; from the classic theming to the design of Central Lake to the integration of a golf academy and recreation complex, such a massive project has been fun to be a part of.”
