Lake Wire Multifamily Development

Land Description

This offering consists of a 1.6-Acre planned 90-unit urban infill multifamily development project ideally located in Downtown Lakeland with frontage on Lake Wire.

The site is strategically located on Peachtree St., directly south of George Jenkins Blvd. and immediately north of Lake Wire. Residents will enjoy walkability to Freedom Park, a large greenspace, and a nearly mile-long sidewalk around Lake Wire. The property is also within walking distance of the new 180-Acre Bonnet Springs Park, a mixed-use development with a children's museum, botanical gardens, and more.

The proposed 4-story building features one and two-bedroom units averaging 826 square feet, many with direct Lake Wire views. The project includes roughly 75,000 net rentable residential square feet and 10,000 square feet of common area space, with significant resident amenities.

The site is in a Qualified Opportunity Zone (Qoz), offering potential tax deferral benefits for capital gains invested through a Qualified Opportunity Fund (Qof) until December 31, 2026.
