More Renderings of The Packing District in College Park

We told you December 6th  The Packing District was coming to College Park. Named after the some of the citrus packing houses demolished to make way for it, The Packing District will be built on 202 acres at the corner of Princeton Street and Orange Blossom Trail. Construction begins in 2018.

City of Orlando would pay Dr Phillips Inc $30 million to make improvements on and around the 202 acres. However, it will take 25 years to earn a measly $121 million back in taxes from the deal. Read more Here and Here.

What's to be expected is "a mix of residential and retail offerings that may include apartments, townhomes, commercial office space, a grocer, coffee shop, brewery, etc.” It will also contain a 100-acre park with urban trails, tennis center, bike trails, running trails, an amphitheater, and an urban farm. Construction is expected to begin in 2018 and go one for 10-15 years.
