Mills 50 redevelopment plan eyes 7-story parking garage with retail space near downtown Orlando
OBJ article, won't post the link since it's paywalled so not allowed. Orlando’s municipal planning board will hear a proposal June 16 for the development of a seven-story parking garage with ground-level retail space in the Mills 50 district.
Public documents show engineering firm Land Design describing the project as being constructed in a single phase while adding 349 “needed parking spaces” to the area.
The site is 1212 Woodward St., where a retail center currently operates north of Colonial Drive and between North Mills Avenue and Shine Avenue. A surface parking lot and four other buildings on the block, including a CVS Pharmacy on the corner of Mills and Colonial, will remain untouched, documents show.
The existing structure, built in 2005 and occupied by Qreate Coffee + Studio, Ming’s Bistro and a karate dojo and fitness gym, will be razed to make way for the garage along with a trash compactor, added green space and required infrastructure.
