History

edit

Construction on the 1,100-acre site began in 1988. The development project consisted of a golf course, residential homes, retail and commercial properties. Tara Golf & Country Club was the first stage of development, including single-family homes, veranda-style condos, multi-story terrace condos with elevator access, and paired villas. Country Club membership was mandatory and was included with each lot or parcel.

In 1992, a shopping center and elementary school were built in Tara.[3]
