Winter Garden to allow MRI imaging center in medical office park

WINTER GARDEN Daniels Professional Park will be a medical and professional office complex with medical offices and facilities located on the northeast corner of Daniels and Roper roads.

According to the site plan, the planned commercial development will take up a currently vacant 1.93-acre lot and have five buildings totaling 17,750 square feet.

During the March 23 Winter Garden commission meeting, the zoning was amended to allow for MRI and imaging centers, which had hitherto been prohibited in accordance with a city ordinance passed in May 2015.

“Sometimes when you’re going through zoning things come up, and I think at the time we didn’t think it was that big of a deal but now there’s, you know, been interest for imaging,” said Ryan Kingry, a real estate broker with Millennia Partners. “So we just wanted to clean up the zoning to essentially allow for all medical uses.”

Kingry and his team at Millenia Partners are looking for multiple medical users, including family practices, dentists, orthodontists and specialty doctors, in addition to professional users, such as engineering firms and attorney offices. But the majority of interest has come from potential medical users, which Kingry suspects might be due to the site’s proximity to Florida Hospital.

“With its proximity to Winter Garden Village, the new hospital and new things going on up there, it’s a great place for not only medical but also professional office use,” Kingry said. “Daniels Road is certainly a main corridor there that sort of connects Windermere via Dillard street up to Winter Garden.”

The office park, which will break ground sometime near the end of June, is expected to be open by late 2017 or early 2018.
