It hard to believe I would drive by this spot for years and just shake my head that the piles of dirt and construction fences haven't moved. Seriously, years! This spot scheduled to begin construction in early 2007 and it truly didn't become anything of sustenance until last year. I do have to say, I love the way everything has turned out aesthetically. It is no longer an eye sore and has many spots to check out!
Mills Park is the home of Gallery at Mills Park Apartments and it's a 5 story, 300 apartment home. Very modern and sleek looking but my favorite part is when you walk around you can see a ton of gorgeous woodwork and they used the old mill yard wood to make these pieces. Very cool.
The parking isn't very ample but things are still in the construction phases. It appears more parking will be coming.
It sits on the Orlando Urban Trail so it's a great starting or resting point if you want to enjoy the trail. Tons of bike parking throughout the area as well.
There is a variety of spots to grab food including:
The Fresh Market
Firebirds
Segafredo - Rooftop!
Brass Tap - Outside seating!
First Watch
Giraffas
Other spots are:
AT&T store
Dr. Phillips Specialty Pharmacy

I have enjoyed watching this grow from conception and I can't wait to see what else is in store for this location. read more
