Expanding Our Commercial Footprint into Hunter’s Creek

Lucas Oliveira • April 16, 2026

At Haines and Haven Residential, we’ve continued to grow our presence not just in residential property management, but on the commercial side as well.

Our latest expansion brings us into the Hunter’s Creek area, where we’ve recently taken on multiple commercial units at The Village at Hunters Creek.

This marks an important step in the continued development of our commercial portfolio in Central Florida.

Hunter’s Creek is one of the more established and consistently active areas in the Orlando market. With its proximity to major roadways like SR-417 and John Young Parkway, the area sees steady traffic from both residents and visitors. The plaza itself is home to a mix of service-based businesses, retail, and professional offices—creating a reliable environment for long-term tenancy.

After onboarding these units, our focus has been simple: get on-site, meet the tenants, and understand the day-to-day operations of the property. Commercial management requires a different level of attention compared to residential. Each tenant operates a business, and that means their needs, expectations, and timelines can vary significantly. Being physically present early on allows us to build relationships and identify opportunities to improve operations from the start.

One of the advantages of working within a centralized plaza like this is consistency. When multiple units are managed under one system, it becomes easier to streamline communication, maintenance coordination, and overall property performance. This benefits both ownership and tenants, and it’s a model we look to replicate as we continue to grow.

While our foundation is in residential property management, expanding into commercial has been a natural progression. Many of the same principles apply—clear communication, strong systems, and proactive management—but execution is more nuanced. Our goal is to bring structure and reliability to commercial assets in the same way we’ve done with residential properties.

We’re looking forward to continuing our work in Hunter’s Creek and building on this momentum. As always, our approach remains hands-on, detail-oriented, and focused on long-term results.

If you own commercial property in the Orlando or surrounding areas and are exploring management options, we’re always open to a conversation.
