This was an exciting opportunity to take advantage of an up and coming area in Downtown Orlando’s Creative Village. The Creative Village development consists of University of Central Florida and Valencia College’s new downtown campus, as well as several student housing, apartment and hotel development projects. The subject building was the only remaining industrial building in the project and was positioned well for an adaptive re-use project, breathing new life into a worn out industrial building.

We repositioned the building over a 3 year period, putting in electric, water and mechanical upgrades, insulation, and aesthetic improvements. The final product consists of three engaging tenants – Central Florida’s second largest brewery, Valencia’s Advanced Manufacturing Classroom, and Blue Swan Boulders, as well as Purple Ocean Superfood Acai foodtruck.
