Thornton Park Central is an urban mixed-use development at the corner
of Central Boulevard and Summerlin Avenue in Downtown Orlando. It contains
20,000 square feet of retail space, 40,000 square feet of office space,
56 loft condominiums and an integrated 340 space parking garage. This
$31 million project was developed by Phil Rampy and Craig Ustler and
construction
was completed in January 2002.
Thornton Park Central shops and restaurants include
Starbucks, Ibi Salon, Urban Body Men's Clothing,
Tijuana Flats, Zou Zou Boutique, HUE Restaurant,
Urban Think Bookstore, Shari Sushi
and Cityfish Restaurant. HUE Restaurant anchors the development and
is an award-winning bistro that is generally credited
with reviving the downtown dining scene. Office tenants
include Morris Architects, Hoar Construction,
Colliers Arnold and Interlachen Mortgage.
Thornton Park Central is a prime example of “new urbanism”,
emphasizing walkable streets, mixed-use neighborhoods, sidewalk activities,
public gathering spaces, architecturally significant design and integrated
infill development. The project was designed by Morris Architects and
the general contractor was Hoar Construction. Office leasing was handled
by Colliers Arnold and loft
condo sales by Olde Town Brokers and CondoHQ.
“Thornton
Park, to the south and east of Lake Eola,
is a hip monument to development done right, with everything
from soap stores to sushi, clothing boutiques
to a bookstore and bars, and apartments above it all.”

“It’s
the most talked about address in town. This upscale
urban
living space is located in the center of hip and happening.
But the location is just a small part of the package
– the open-air loft space, big-city architecture, custom accessories,
and the view from the petite balcony can’t be matched.”
