We don’t have to tell you twice: There’s a lot of development going on in our community. So much so that we often find ourselves learning about new construction, building plans + businesses coming to Lakeland every week. (Don’t believe us? Peep our latest newsletters here + here.)
Just yesterday, the City’s Planning and Zoning Board reviewed a long list of proposed developments* at a public hearing – and we want to keep you up-to-date on some of that were mentioned that we have our eyes on.
*Note that not all of these developments have been approved in full. We will make sure to keep you up-to-date in future newsletters.
Lakeland Regional Health’s Behavioral Hospital
The construction of a new one-story behavioral health facility – comprised of nearly 80,000 sq. ft. of space – is being planned at Lakeland Regional Health on the former Adair Park site (1324 Lakeland Hills Blvd.) on nearly 10 acres south of Lakeland Regional Health’s campus. The facility will provide comprehensive care to patients + have natural light to create a therapeutic environment. See renderings here.
Lake Wire Site
At the meeting, a small scale future land use map amendment + rezone of 26.3 acres were proposed for the development of a conceptual master plan at Lake Wire Site – a mixed-use development including condominiums, parking, hotel, multi-family units, restaurants, and retail. The property is owned by Bonnet Springs Park.
