Tavistock Development Company filed plans Thursday for a new mixed-use district covering more than 158 acres in Lake Nona, with a web of interconnected streets to guide urban-style development east of the Lake Nona Town Center, and a new medical office building to kick it off.
GrowthSpotter that the developer was in early-stage planning for a new mixed-use district bounded by Lake Nona Boulevard, Nemours Parkway and Laureate Boulevard, and at the time was seeking an architecture firm to design the first 80,000-square-foot medical office.
A Specific Parcel Master Plan (SPMP) filed Thursday with the city of Orlando establishes a clear street hierarchy for the mixed-use district, meant to prioritize the location of primary building facades, and identify locations for parking and service access.

Tavistock did not respond to requests for comment on its timeline for development. But its same-day filing of plans for the medical office building indicate a Third Quarter 2018 start to construction, which was acknowledged in July.
Development will be market-driven, with a mix of boutique homes, apartments, condominiums, office and retail. A few specific uses listed on the SPMP map forecast a medical theme across the commercial, but those are only examples, and Tavistock will have flexibility to adapt the plan.
But residential and commercial uses shown on the plan give a clear idea how Tavistock may favor density in the district.
Those include condos (an estimated 970 units over 15.32 acres), apartments (1,793 units, 24.41 acres), "Tuck-under" homes -- typically multi-story townhomes -- where a garage is tucked under the rear of a house and accessed by alley (538 units, 16.85 acres), "City Homes" akin to urban row houses (100 units, 7.2 acres), medical office buildings (410,000 square feet, 5.91 acres), and Memory Care/Assisted Living facilities (16.31 acres).
Twenty-two city blocks would be established by this plan, through a series of new cross streets over more than 139 undeveloped acres owned by Tavistock. Most of the streets would include parallel parking.
Another 18.3 acres within the new district map are already developed or under construction, including Beazer Homes' 216-unit Gatherings of Lake Nona, Tavistock's new 11-story "Pixon" mixed-use apartment building, and the established LandonHouse apartments.
The SPMP also defines a series of setbacks for residential and non-residential uses to guide landscape, building placement and massing, and shows conceptual park locations.
In this version of the Mixed-Use District Fit Plan submitted to the city, public green space and small parks can be seen throughout the 22 city blocks. (PLACE Alliance)
