Joseph Beninati

As the mastermind behind Wyld Oaks, Joseph Beninati is reshaping how Florida thinks about land use, density, and quality of life. He has designed the 215-acre community in Apopka, just northwest of downtown Orlando, as an integrated environment for living, working, wellness, and entertainment. Featuring retail corridors, multifamily homes, parks, trails, and a health village, Wyld Oaks demonstrates what’s possible when innovative planning meets a fast-growing market. In early 2025, the Orlando region was named the fastest-growing large metro by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Beninati’s experience in infrastructure, capital strategy, and zoning has made him a go-to real estate developer in the Southeastern U.S. His results speak volumes, but so does his methodology: rigorous research, inclusive planning, and long-term stewardship. Wyld Oaks is more than a real estate deal—it’s the future of regional growth, built today—anchored by decades of strategic leadership and a career defined by transformative development.
