Two years ago, Dr. Phillips Charities unveiled a grand $700 million vision to transform more than 200 acres of industrial land and woods in northwest Orlando into a new urban neighborhood. Today, half a dozen projects have been announced for what will one day be the Packing District.
The area, just west of College Park and bordered by Princeton Street and Orange Blossom Trail, will be home to a mix of luxury apartments, townhomes, businesses and restaurants. It also will feature a 105-acre city park, YMCA, food hall and John Rivers’ new farm and agriculture center.
