A Nashville-based development company is looking to utilize Florida’s new Live Local Act to bring a 200-unit apartment community to land near the intersection of E. Colonial Drive and N.Semoran Boulevard.

The affordable housing division of Elmington Capital Group submitted a preliminary application to Orange County on Thursday requesting a meeting with county staff to discuss a proposed four-story project on 8.7 acres just east of the Orlando Executive Airport.

According to application materials, 40% of the units would be designated as either workforce housing for residents earning less than 80% of the area median income or at a slightly higher rate for residents earning less than 120% AMI.

A concept plan drafted by Elmington shows a gated community with two four-story apartment buildings. The smallest building would also include a clubhouse and leasing office fronted by a pool deck and amenity area.
