Midtown Plaza Re-development
October 2020 Update: Refurbishment of the existing Center, including grocery store building, began in May 2020. Proposal (currently in planning process) includes retail, hotel and residential.
Midtown Plaza (at the SE corner of Bahia Vista and Tamiami Trail/US41 in Arlington Park neighborhood), just across Bahia Vista Street from our Alta Vista 'hood. Currently home to Panera, a Starbucks, Michaels On East, now-closed Winn Dixie, and various other popular shops and services.
Plans are in the works for redeveloping this plaza. General talk by the City has been of supporting redevelopment of Midtown, and other aging shopping plazas surrounded by acres of surface parking lots, as mixed use, adding residential to the commercial, possibly including affordable or attainable housing, with higher density being one aspect.
Some zoning changes are pending.
