Only 17% of Lake Nona is 25-34 years old. That might change when a new project called The Distillery comes to fruition in 2019. According to Growthspotter, Orlando will be getting its first taste of micro apartment living when Tavistock's 11-story, 157-unit mixed-use apartment building opens in 2019 just across the street from the 100-acre Lake Nona Town Center commercial district.
LifeEdited.com described a micro apartment as “A small, typically urban, self-contained apartment that is between 150-350 square feet" but also warns some efforts across the country are just companies "re-branding small apartments in areas where there is ample housing stock."
The units range from 358 to 1,737 sq ft with a majority of them containing a two-bedroom floor plan. These smaller offerings are meant to cater to students and millennials says Tavistock.
The architect, responsible for downtown Baldwin Park, will not be using the pre-fabricated modular unit manner of construction found in other micro projects.

New York's first luxury micro apartment building offers 300 sq ft living. Perhaps this is what the Lake Nona project will be like. (Photo Credit)
