Jewett Orthopedic Clinic’s Winter Park location is planning a new 2-story, 25,000 sq ft medical office building at the corner of Orange Avenue and Oak Place. The new building across the parking lot from their current building will feature both offices and an ambulatory surgery center. It will almost double the size of the flagship facility for Jewett, which currently has a 34, 771 sq ft building on the property. A single story building sits where the new facility is proposed. It will be demo’d before the new building breaks ground.

It will be demo’d before the new building breaks ground.
Also being demo’d: two single family
homes on 930 and 950 Minnesota Avenue.
These lots, along with an empty lot at 960 Minnesota, will be converted
into a new parking lot for Jewett Clinic. The parking lot will have 72 spaces.
While it will feature night time lighting, at the request of neighbors around the parking lot, it will only be able to be used during regular office hours so not to disturb those residential properties surrounding it. A wall was proposed along Minnesota to block the parking lot from the residential properties across the street, but residents requested a landscaped buffer instead citing safety concerns. As typical with new construction in Winter Park, the majority of existing trees on the lots will be protected. An existing staff parking lot is found directly to the west of the proposed lot, just across Oak Place. That lot should see an updated landscaping plan when this new lot is built.
