The long-awaited redevelopment of Orlando Fashion Square Mall is once again shifting direction. M&M Realty Partners recently unveiled an updated vision that places a stronger emphasis on residential living, with plans for up to 1,720 apartments, reduced retail, and potentially one of the largest fitness centers in Central Florida.

Boggy Creek Road north of the Osceola County line continues to see rapid growth, with new housing, apartments, hotels, and commercial projects transforming the corridor into one of Central Florida’s busiest development stretches.

Public Storage is moving forward with plans for a three-story, 141,000+ square-foot facility on 4.5 acres across from Tyson Ranch, alongside two future commercial outparcels.
