A Small Deal with a Big Meaning: Eshenbaugh Land Company-Orlando Closes its First Land Transaction

Tampa, FL, March 24th 2026 – Written by Nick Cannella

Eshenbaugh Land Company is proud to announce the first closing by its Orlando office, marking an exciting milestone for the firm’s expansion into Central Florida.

The property, a ½-acre homesite located in College Park, will soon be redeveloped into five townhomes, adding new housing to one of Orlando’s most established and desirable neighborhoods.

While modest in size, the deal carries meaningful significance.

The transaction came together through a unique relationship that began years ago when one of our brokers met the seller, Sean Bailey, through a local nonprofit. Over time, that connection grew from a neighborhood relationship into a professional opportunity when Sean inherited the property.

“Our goal was to connect Sean with the right buyer and help guide him through the process,” said Austin McWilliams. “It’s always rewarding when a deal comes together in a way that benefits both the seller and the future of the property.”

The buyer, BBG Developments, plans to bring thoughtfully designed townhomes to the site, continuing the evolution of infill development in the College Park area.

The closing was made possible through collaboration with Karen Grau, BBG Developments, Tim Hendricks, Fernando Braff, and Devin James.

For Sean and his family, the sale represents more than just a transaction. It provides the opportunity to move forward with plans for a new home where they can continue hosting friends, neighbors, and community gatherings.

This first closing reflects both the growing demand for infill development in Central Florida and the relationship-driven approach that defines Eshenbaugh Land Company.
