“We are on a mission to build the most innovative, resilient, and climate-resilient town in America, and in a few short years, we’ve done just that,” says former NFL player Syd Kitson, co-founder of Babcock Ranch.

Even though Florida is the hurricane capital of America, all the homes and buildings in Babcock Ranch are built to withstand 150 mph winds. They’re also situated inland and 30 feet above sea level, which minimizes the impact of storm surges.
