Orlando Gears Up To Celebrate the Opening of SoDo
10/31/2008
ORLANDO, F.L.-- October 2008 – North American Properties will celebrate the opening of SoDo on October 10th – 12th in Orlando, Florida. The public is invited to join U.S. Representative Ric Keller, other elected officials and city staff for grand opening festivities, beginning on October 10th at 10 a.m. Joining US Representative Ric Keller at the Grand Opening are Commissioner Patty Sheehan, Commissioner Phil Diamond, and radio personality Erica Lee from Mix 105.1.
SoDo is a true urban in-fill, mixed-use development on 20+ acres between Grant and Crystal Lake streets on South Orange Avenue in Orlando. The 745,000 square foot project, developed in a joint venture by North American Properties, Kimco Realty and Wood Partner, is approximately 50% retail, 35% residential and 15% office.
“I am thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of SoDo, a first-of-its-kind development in this area of Orlando. It is exciting to see that the growth we have experienced in Downtown Orlando continues to spur economic investment and revitalization outside the City’s center. This project helps transform an industrial block into a thriving urban activity center. Model developments like this - which wrap residential, up-scale dining and marquee retailers such as Target - are exactly the kind of smart and responsible growth what we want in Orlando", said Mayor Dyer.
SuperTarget, TJ Maxx and 24 Hour Fitness anchor the center, located just south of downtown Orlando (hence the name SoDo). Several other tenants at SoDo include Flipper’s Pizza, Verizon Wireless, Nature’s Table Café, The Fish Spa, Olv Café, Massage Envy, Rockn’ Joe Coffeehouse & Bistro, Mattress Giant, Taco Bell & Banco Popular.
