Dr. Phillips Charities has broken ground on a new four-story, 40,000-square-foot Class-A office building in Orlando’s Packing District, a project moving forward despite a general slowdown in new office construction.
Key points of the project include:
- Unique Features: The building will feature a modern design with electrochromic glass that adjusts to sunlight. One entire floor will be dedicated to non-profit organizations at a below-market rate to act as an incubator space.
- Strategic Timing: The project is launching at a time when many small businesses are looking to expand and are concerned about the lack of available quality office space. Market research from CBRE suggests a future shortage of prime office space, making this development timely.
- Location and Context: Located at Princeton and Orange Blossom Trail, the building is part of the 202-acre Packing District, which is being developed into a community with a mix of commercial, residential, and recreational facilities like a food hall, apartments, and a YMCA.
- Timeline: Construction is being handled by Welbro Building Corporation and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2026.
