LAKELAND — A Tampa-based development group will get the first shot at negotiating for a project on the city’s downtown North Lake Mirror site if advisory recommendations are accepted by the City Commission on Monday.
Framework Group beat Lakeland-based Broadway Real Estate and a team comprising the Orlando Neighborhood Investment Corporation and Lakeland’s Prestige Worldwide in rankings by a selection committee.
Framework has built large multi-family and mixed-use buildings and complexes in Orlando, Tampa and Sarasota. If the committee’s rankings are approved by the commission, the company will negotiate with the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency in developing the site the city began putting together in 2004.
