DIX Developments Moxie Home Builders Partnership Accelerates Single-Family Ambitions
By J.C. Carnahan – Staff Writer, Orlando Business Journal | Feb 27, 2026

Orlando-based Moxie Home Builders and DIX Developments announced a partnership Feb. 25 that will bring hundreds of new single-family homes to the Central Florida market.

DIX Developments acquired a 50% ownership interest in Moxie Home Builders. Day-to-day operations remain unchanged, with Moxie Founder and CEO Giovanni Fernandez continuing to oversee the company's design philosophy, construction standards and vision.

The partnership aligns Moxie's residential platform with DIX Developments' land development pipeline, which includes access to more than 10,000 residential lots across 23 active and planned communities spanning Brevard through Citrus counties.

"It's kind of a match made in Heaven," Fernandez told OBJ. "Everything DIX has going on with the thousands of lots they've created allows Moxie to go and build in those communities."

Moxie is currently building Boulevard Oaks near The Villages in Lady Lake and expects to be active in more than five communities by year-end. DIX Developments is the entity behind the 1,568-acre Ashton Park mixed-use project in Palm Bay.

James Dicks, founder and CEO of DIX Developments, said the move is focused on "creating long-term value for residents, local governments and the surrounding community. This partnership allows us to bring a proven builder into our communities while maintaining control over land planning and infrastructure."

Moxie projects it will exceed 100 annual home sales by mid-2027 and ramp up to roughly 350 homes per year by 2028, with initial development concentrating in Lake and Citrus counties.

DIX Developments, Moxie Home Builders partnership accelerates single-family ambitions - Orlando Business Journal The partnership between Moxie Home Builders and DIX Developments is designed to solve a critical challenge that has slowed the homebuilder's growth. Here is how the deal changes the game for both companies.

Thank you to the Orlando Business Journal for citing DIX Developments $2.5 Billion dollar Ashton Park Project. Congratulations to James Dicks and the DIX Team.

Space industry growth spurs $2.5 billion Ashton Park project in Palm Bay

Parties involved: Dix Developments

Cost: $74 million

Why it matters: The Orlando-based company bought 1,134 acres in southeast Palm Bay as part of the deal that closed March 31. The purchase is the second — and largest — of three acquisitions along Micco Road as part of the Ashton Park mixed-use project — a 1,568-acre project valued at $2.5 billion.

Founder and CEO James Dicks told Orlando Business Journal the full assemblage of land was finalized April 15 with the closing of 133 acres for its town center. The initial purchase of roughly 300 acres was made in December 2024 for $15.6 million.

Ashton Park will feature 5,813 homes and 1 million square feet of commercial space. The addition of housing, retail and dining options, among other necessities, will impact the area. Dicks anticipates a steady influx of commercial businesses near that corridor over the next five years.

“It stems from all the growth in the rocket and space industry," James Dicks, Dix Developments founder and CEO, said. "You've got thousands of engineers coming in who are making $150,000 a year, and there's nowhere to live, so you’ve got to go further south. We are that next location for all these people.”
