Even on an island developed more recently and built to somewhat better original standards than the older barrier islands, the first generation of homes from Tierra Verde's original 1960s-70s development wave is now old enough to be hitting FEMA's substantial damage threshold after a bad storm — and being replaced with larger, current-code construction.
Larger lots, larger rebuilds
Tierra Verde's more generous lot sizes and canal frontage mean a teardown here is often clearing the way for a considerably larger custom home than what's coming down — which changes the site prep and grading scope compared to a like-for-like rebuild.
