Oct. 21–Orlando’s planning board Tuesday approved a conceptual plan for the redevelopment of the downtown property that the Orlando Sentinel leases.
Plans submitted by Tribune Real Estate Holdings LLC — the newspaper’s landlord — would build atop the two blocks bounded by Colonial Drive to the north, Amelia Street to the south, Orange Avenue to the west and Magnolia Avenue to the east.
The Municipal Planning Board approved a “framework plan” that envisions a general mix of retail, residential, office and hotel development. It would be built in six phases, and the developer will be required to provide more details and seek separate master-plan approval for each phase.
Tribune Real Estate Holdings Director Matthew Weisberg would not say when construction would start or with which developers the company might work. He referred questions to Tribune Media spokesman Gary Weitman, who would not answer those questions.
