What Is The Village at Hilliard Isle? Kissimmee’s New Town Center
Hilliard Isle is getting its own town center. New renderings show The Village at Hilliard Isle, a planned shopping and dining hub along Simpson Road in Kissimmee, built around a central green and a live oak estimated to be more than 150 years old. Here’s what’s planned, who it will serve and when work is expected to start.

What Is Hilliard Isle?
Hilliard Isle is a new master-planned community by Pulte Homes, with about 2,016 single-family homes and townhomes planned over eight phases. Construction on the first phase started in February 2026. The community also plans walking trails, dog parks, a resort-style pool and multifamily homes near the town center. Plaza Lakes, which assembled and master-planned the property, is keeping the town center and multifamily portions.
When Will The Village at Hilliard Isle Open?
No opening date has been announced, but infrastructure work is expected to start in the first quarter of 2028. The first commercial pads are expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2028. The project is still in planning and permitting, so that timeline depends on approvals and construction progress.
What This Means
For anyone buying in Hilliard Isle or nearby, The Village means groceries, dining and everyday errands could eventually be a short walk or drive from home. Town centers like this tend to make new communities feel more established, and they’re a big part of what draws buyers to master-planned neighborhoods across Osceola County.
