924 N. Magnolia Avenue | Mixed Use Residential [Proposed]

[Jernigan]

 Master Plan for a mixed-use project at 924 N. Magnolia Ave has been submitted to the city. The new multi-family, mixed use, will bring 383-units at the SW corner of North Magnolia Avenue and Weber Street. This project will provide a public, elevated plaza and garden from street level. The elevated plaza will include retail space, a restaurant, and two residential, access controlled lobbies for the residential towers. At the south of the site, there will be an 8.5 story parking garage articulated with an architectural screen serving residents, the public garden/plaza and retail.

Say anything about height or number of floors?

Not yet - should hit in the next round of advisory board agendas if not sooner

…I was thinking this was the latest incarnation they promised when the Lunch Basket was demolished (taking Orlando’s best meat loaf sammich with it) a little over a decade ago but this one is across the street apparently.

Is this where the 2 matching brown buildings are?  Like maybe 3 stories high and look super 70s?

[Jernigan]

Yes

I would assume an 8 story parking garage would mean the actual apartment building itself is a lot taller than 8 stories. Maybe 16 to 20 stories? Or am I way base?

Google maps shows this.

Does this have backing or someone marketing the property?

The way the garage in the original post is described, the appears to be separate.

Yeah I figured, thanks. I just imagined the building itself wouldn’t be close to the same height of the garage. That way it would take away from the actual building. It might be wishful thinking though.

I'm guessing because of the separate garage and area, no more than 5 stories each

OP says 383 units.

Which other residential multi-family buildings have a comparable number of units?

Of course height ultimately depends on the dimensions of the footprint, but it would give us something to play with anyway.

Also, sounds like two towers, so probably not much in the way of height.

I think the 16-story Society tower has 290, so if this is 380 over 2 buildings, I'd say we're looking at somewhere around 10-11 stories each. Of course, it's not an exact science or direct comparison.

The Radius has 389.

That site looks too small unless they go up like 18 stories, any chance the senior center next door is part of the site?

I hope you’re not referring to the Marks St Senior Center - it’s landmarked.

Ladies and gentlemen, give this man (or woman) a prize (it's 19 and 17 stories for an average of 18 so close enough): https://www.growthspotter.com/news/downtown-orlando-developments/gs-news-acram-magnolia-downtown-tower-orlando-20220614-dew363udbjfdfgip7nwy6ibpje-story.html

I had the site wrong. Confusing location but this is a pleasant surprise. I like this for that area

I like it too. Hopefully it'll spur some development in the area. 235 feet and I'm assuming ~210 feet for the towers will have a nice impact on the North Quarter.

Absolutely. It's being built off the podium according to grow spotter so that'll be pretty nice to see from I4 and other areas. I hope this has legs and I hope it's legit and gets built

[JFW657]

Pretty chunky.....

I'd like to see a daytime rendering of it to get a better idea of the colors and see a little more detail, etc.
