Maitland Developments

[JFW657]

Developers close on 3.2 acre parcel, future site of Maitland City Centre

• $67 million mixed-use project
• 220 1BR and 2BR apartments
• 24 live/work units
• 32,500 square feet of commercial space
• Breaking ground in fall 2015, occupancy in 2017 

Looks like they've updated the design from the last renderings I saw....

Looking quite a bit better, too!!!

That's true.  I guess from my perspective, it would be done to show it correctly, but from theirs it might have been to SHOCK and AWE people.

 

 

People... ugh.

HORRIBLE!  Just disgusting!  Way too tall and makes me feel like it belongs in Shanghai, Tokyo, or Manhattan! 

 

I'm kidding.  That looks great.

Where is the proposed East End Market setting up shop in Maitland?

It is in here but it isn't going to be run by Rife or anyone affiliated with East End.

So... a franchise?

So... a franchise?

No its a completely different concept really. Some food stalls there but the flow and how they work together is completely different. At least that is the plan, not sure how easy to pull off it will be.

So it looks like Jeremiah's will in fact be part of the new City Centre development. I had been wondering what would become of this location after it was recently razed.

In this article is also a link to another new 60M project at 1070 Maitland Blvd that I have never heard of before. A nice-looking mixed-use center with an organic grocery as the anchor:

Maitland, Maitland, Maitland. Every piece in the OBJ lately seems to be about the next company coming to new digs in Maitland.

Now I have nothing against Maitland. Helped out a band at what I considered a very out of the way bar in Maitland that was packed with the after-work crowd. But why not the CBD? Does Orlando not have enough office space or are we chopped liver?

[Jernigan]

Are you asking why the OBJ is giving so much press or why Maitland is having developers build?

[Boomer136]

Nope, wondering why downtown isn't getting any of these new businesses. OBJ is reporting what is happening, God bless them. 

[Jernigan]

Oh - I don't think it's apples to apples.  Without looking at any difference in lease rates, there are pretty big differences in things like parking and surrounding demographics. Daily traffic on 17-92 in Maitland is 33,000.  Orange Avenue through the CBD is 7,800.

Sort of related note - I picked up Jeremiah's at my wife's request at the new south of Downtown South location (Orange & Drennan) and there was a line.  It was 60 degrees out.  What an unbelievable following.

Every time I drive by these orange groves I wonder A) how is this still here, and B) what is going to eventually be developed here. I had never heard of this before, but apparently this has been in the works for over 10 years. It's a really big piece of land, and I am not sure if this new project will take up the entire space or not. I can't really tell by the numbers given here how much space that is.

City officials approve Maitland Concourse North

I just realized this is the same development I already posted about in another thread.

Former Sentinel columnist Mike Thomas was elected to the Maitland city commission yesterday. It will be interesting to see how he will do as the newest of the "grumpy old men" he always complained about and what effect it will have on downtown development.

[HankStrong]

There is always that weird moment when the outsider becomes the establishment.

 

Some handle it better than others.
