NEW OWNERSHIP OF LAKE NONA AREA KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY

I was so excited to hear that my broker and team leader, Lori Tyrrell, has purchased both the Vista Lakes and Casselberry Keller Williams offices. For two years, I have travelled to the existing Oviedo and Waterford Lakes offices benefitting from the excellent systems, tools and training. Now it will be right in my back yard here in the Lake Nona area. We are already bringing excellent training to the area and are looking forward to a very special training event coming up in June at the Village Walk at Lake Nona Community Center. This event will be free and open to all area realtors, regardless of what company they work for. I love sharing the mindset and support that has made me so successful so quickly....I know there are many otherwise excellent agents out there struggling under the current market conditions, and the report I'm hearing is that in many companies, support has been pulled back instead of moved forward for the agents. Agents need more support and training than ever to thrive in this shifting market!

If you have questions about what you can do to grow your business, I'd love to have a conversation with you. Feel free to call me at 321.297.4330 or simply respond to this post with your phone number. I love this business and would welcome the opportunity to assist struggling or new agents, or even experienced agents who sense they need to make some changes.

I will keep you posted as to the date and time of our regional training event here in Lake Nona!

Warmly,

NEW LAKE NONA HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION CORRECTION

It has been brought to my attention that I made an error on my post regarding the scheduled completion of the new Lake Nona Area High School off Narcoossee Rd. I made an error in typing "2008-2009", it should be "2009-2010" (Must have been wishful thinking!) Please accept my apologies for any confusion!

You may check out the school district's website at www.facilities.ocps.net

If you have additional questions, or would like more information about the school, the Lake Nona area or real estate in general, please give me a call!

NEW SPECIALTY RETAIL FOR LAKE NONA OPENING THIS FALL

AS A RESIDENT OF THE GROWING LAKE NONA/MOSS PARK AREA, I am so excited about the development of the Medical City, the new State-of-the Art High School, and the plans for upscale dining and shopping at Nona Park.

NONA PARK

Nona Park will open this fall with 22,000 square feet of specialty retail space. Lease information can be obtained by calling Michael Shaffer at 407-628-0027. Nona Park will be located on the southwest quadrant of Narcoossee Rd. and the future Alafaya Trail Extension. Nona Park's location will offer easy access to major highways including the 528 (Beachline) and the 417 (Greenway). Nona Park will be located within the the Lake Nona area in Southeast Orlando just 5 minutes from Orlando International Airport. Future plans for the development include upscale dining, hotel, office, industrial and government/civic space.

MEDICAL CITY

Ground has already broken and construction is well underway on the UCF Medical School. The Burnham Institute for Biomedical Research is already up and running in an off-site location and will move to their facilities upon project completion. Nemours Children's Hospital has contracted for purchase within the Lake Nona development as well. Also coming is a VA Hospital, a University of Florida Research Facility and a new Valencia Community College SE Campus.

RESIDENTIAL IMPACT

All this upscale development will surely have a profound affect on the area. The medical city will attract top professionals to the area. This will increase demand for housing, retail, restaurant and services. City planners and developers are to be commended for their smart planning...this will benefit the residents of the lovely Lake Nona area.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL

The new prototype high school is well underway. It will be located just south of the Greenway. Designed to be technologically enhanced, the new high school is much needed for our growing area. Check out my previous blog for details on the new cutting-edge facility.

OTHER DEVELOPMENT

I can see ground has broken on office space for the eastern side of Narcoossee Rd. as well (adjacent to La Vina) More details in a future blog when information comes available!

BEAUTIFUL NEW PARK AREA

Plans are underway to develop a beautiful new park area adjacent to the high school campus. The park will include equestrian facilities, a water park, hiking trails, ball parks and waterways for canoeing.

RECENTLY OPENED

New Retail/Restaraunt has recently opened just south of the Publix Shopping Center. Check out Nature's Table, Super Suppers, Quiznos and Papa Johns. There is a "National Steakhouse" coming soon which I hear will be an Outback Steakhouse (I am hoping!) Just north of 528, the Home Depot has opened, and Kohl's is nearing completion. Additionally, across from Lake Nona the new Burger King and Taco Bell are hiring and nearly ready for opening.

If you have questions, or know someone in need of a real estate professional, please do not hesitate to call or email.
