Okeechobee Redevelopment LLC is listed as owner of three nearby State Road 78 parcels totaling 163.11 acres. The Glades County Property Appraiser lists May 10, 2024 sales for all three. Separately, Lakefront Developers advertises a current project called “160 Acres Okeechobee” for single-family homes and commercial uses. That portfolio entry appears separately from Lakefront Estates. Sources: parcel records, portfolio.

Three parcels, two sale references#
The appraiser reports reviewed October 13, 2026 show:
| Parcel | Acres | May 10, 2024 sale entry | Book/page |
|---|---|---|---|
| A05-39-34-A00-0030-0000 | 14.30 | Part of the shared $2,100,000 sale | 403/1012 |
| A08-39-34-A00-0010-0000 | 110.10 | Same $2,100,000 sale | 403/1012 |
| A08-39-34-A00-001A-0000 | 38.71 | $646,000 sale | 403/989 |
| Total | 163.11 | $2,746,000 across two transactions |
The first two reports mark the $2.1 million sale as multi-parcel and identify Old River Cattle Co LLC as grantor. Counting that price twice would overstate the acquisition. The third report lists a separate $646,000 transaction. These are appraiser sale summaries; the original deeds and closing statements have not been reviewed. The figures do not establish total project cost or anyone’s personal capital contribution. Sources: multi-parcel sale, separate sale.
The county GIS also identifies these three parcels, corroborating the ownership, acreage and sale references. Its service description dates that representation July 9, 2026. The October review date does not turn the tax map into a survey. Source: county GIS.
Driving and walking from the current entrance#
The origin is Lakefront’s current main entrance at Rambam Boulevard and State Road 78, using the same entrance pin as this site’s other travel comparisons. Destinations are representative points along each parcel’s mapped SR-78 frontage. They are approximate roadside locations, not confirmed driveways or future project entrances. Sources: entrance pin, parcel geometry.
| Parcel / acreage | Driving | Walking |
|---|---|---|
| A05-39-34-A00-0030-0000 / 14.30 acres | 3 min · 2.4 miles | 51 min · 2.4 miles |
| A08-39-34-A00-0010-0000 / 110.10 acres | 3 min · 2.6 miles | 56 min · 2.6 miles |
| A08-39-34-A00-001A-0000 / 38.71 acres | 4 min · 2.7 miles | 59 min · 2.7 miles |
These are the first recommended Google Maps routes reviewed separately for each mode on October 13, 2026. They follow the SR-78 corridor and are road distances, not straight-line measurements. Times are saved estimates; walking directions do not establish continuous sidewalks or access into the parcels. Open the route links on the development page.
The people connecting the records#
Okeechobee Redevelopment LLC was formed September 6, 2023, under Florida document number L23000414373. The live Sunbiz page lists Barry Farkas and Menachem Silber as authorized members, title AMBR, and Mark Raksin as registered agent. It states no membership percentages. On October 13, 2026, the page showed INACTIVE, with the last event PENDING REINSTATEMENT, filed July 22, 2026. That filing status alone does not determine title to the land. Source: Sunbiz.
Farkas and Silber already appear in the Lakefront Estates offering document’s Lightstone biography. The Lakefront Developers team page adds these company-stated roles:
| Person | Role on the team page |
|---|---|
| Mike Silber / Menachem Silber | CEO, Partner |
| Barry Farkas | CFO, Partner |
| Adam Duitz | Director of Acquisitions |
| Gabriel Blum | Asset Management |
| Jake Rosenberg | CMO |
| Lea Bachrach | Operations |
The shared names document a connection among the participants. They do not establish that all investors in Okeechobee Community Developers LLC also invested in Okeechobee Redevelopment LLC, or that the Lakefront Developers brand is itself either landholding LLC.
What the portfolio establishes#
The company’s “160 Acres Okeechobee” description supports a stated residential and commercial project. The similar acreage and overlapping participants make the nearby parcels a plausible match, an inference rather than an express parcel identification by the company. The portfolio does not give parcel IDs, a legal owner, approved density, permits or a construction schedule. Source: portfolio.
The 163.11 acres are therefore tracked as nearby land. They are not added to Lakefront Estates’ existing 525–526-acre figure, its approximately 1,300 planned homes, CDD assessments or home-closing totals. A formal expansion, shared financing arrangement or approved plan would require its own supporting record. See the ownership record, development overview and open research questions.
