Encore at Viera
David Weekley Homes is bringing its Encore active adult brand to south Viera as part of the larger Restore at Viera development. The plan is 221 homesites, single-story homes from roughly 1,520 to 2,800 square feet, with construction beginning in late 2026 and models expected in spring 2027.
Call us before you visit the model. The sales representative at this community works for David Weekley Homes, not for you. Nearly every builder in Viera requires your agent to register you or walk in with you on your very first visit. Tour alone on Saturday and bring an agent Wednesday, and most builders will not honor the representation for that community. It costs you nothing to bring us. Builders pay buyer agent compensation out of a budget they have already set, and walking in unrepresented does not lower your price.
Encore At Viera, Florida
This one is worth watching early. Viera has had exactly two established 55 and better options for years, Del Webb at Viera and Heritage Isle, plus Indian River Colony Club with its own eligibility rules. Encore will be the first genuinely new entrant in that category in a long time.
David Weekley Homes is building it under their Encore active adult brand, on land they closed on for the project. The published plan is 221 homesites with single-story homes across four architectural styles, running roughly 1,520 to 2,800 square feet. It sits inside the larger Restore at Viera mixed-use development, which is described as being near the Pineda Causeway and I-95.
The amenity package is shared with the broader Restore project and includes an 8,000 square foot clubhouse, a pool, a fitness center, a movement studio, a demonstration kitchen, a game room and theater, pickleball and bocce courts, a dog park, a community garden and trails connecting into the wider Viera trail system.
Now the honest part. Nothing is built yet. Construction was announced to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 with models expected in spring 2027, and everything above is subject to change until there is a model to walk and a contract to read. We also want to flag that the marketing language, south Viera near the Pineda Causeway, makes the exact position relative to the traditional Viera boundary less than clear from public sources. We will confirm the exact address rather than assume it.

Buying Early At Encore
The first phase of a new community is where the best homesites and the worst contracts both live. Three things decide how it goes.
Get On The List Now
Costs nothingInterest lists open long before models do, and early registrants generally get first look at homesites. Registering with representation in place is the only version of this that protects you.
Homesite Before Floor Plan
Order mattersYou can change a floor plan. You cannot change what backs up to your lanai. On a new community, we check the approved plan for every adjacent parcel before you pick.
Read The First Contract Carefully
Escalation and delayEarly phase contracts on a project this size carry escalation and delay language that matters. A build starting in 2027 has a long window for costs and dates to move.
