Rida Development Corporation led the reshaping of the geographic footprint of the area in 1998 with the formation of the ChampionsGate community development district (CDD). The community initially consisted of 1,400 acres. However, in 2012, ChampionsGate increased its footprint by nearly 40 percent, to 2,300 acres through a branding relationship with Miami based, Lennar Corporation, which incorporated the adjacent property, nearly doubling the size of ChampionsGate and sparking the recent success.
