'''Jubilee''' is a [[Wikipedia:New town|planned community]] slated for development on a 2,718-acre parcel in north [[Santa Rosa County]] near [[Pace]], between [[Berryhill Road]], [[Willard Norris Road]] and [[Chumuckla Highway]]. It was announced on [[March 20]], [[2007]] at a grandiose event and has employed a high-profile advertising campaign (see [[#Marketing|below]]). The massive residential project by Atlanta-based the Eagle Group is planned to include 588 single-family houses in the first phase alone, priced between $275,000 to $1.5 million,<ref name="roadblock">"Jubilee hits roadblock." ''Pensacola News Journal'', August 8, 2007.</ref> as well as a private golf club designed by PGA champion and Pensacola resident [[Jerry Pate]].
==Details==

===House designs===
Jubilee plans to offer five standard house designs:
*Classical and Colonial Revival
*Lowcountry and Acadian
*Florida Vernacular
*Mediterranean Revival
*Craftsman
===Golf club===
The slated Jubilee golf club is a private 18-hole, 7,400-yard course designed by local PGA champion [[Jerry Pate]]. A full-featured clubhouse is also planned.
==Marketing==
Starting around January 2007, media companies [[Lamar Advertising]] and [[Bill Salter Outdoor]] posted several billboards featuring silhouettes of a cartoon boy and girl chasing a rabbit. The billboards had no other words or identifying logos. Representatives of the companies confirmed that the boards were part of a "teaser campaign" of a client who wished to remain anonymous.<ref>"Chasing this rabbit just might drive you mad as a hatter." ''Pensacola News Journal'', January 30, 2007.</ref>
On [[March 20]], [[2007]], the developers held an extravagant "announcement party" at the [[Saenger Theater]] featuring a private concert by country star [[Wikipedia:Travis Tritt|Travis Tritt]].
Subsequent marketing materials have described the development as the quintessential laid-back Southern town with slogans like, "Part memory lane, part Wisteria lane."
==Financial problems==
In July 2007, the developers of Jubilee were hit by five liens totaling nearly $4 million. The project was put on hold in August to pursue new financing avenues. A spokesperson for the Eagle Group said the company had "decided to cease what they were doing and reassess the current marketplace."<ref name="roadblock"/>
