A developer hopes to move forward with an affordable housing development in Central Florida near Baldwin Park.
According to plans recently filed by an engineer from Kimley-Horn, Hanging Moss West would comprise 300 apartments divided amongst eight buildings. The Orlando Business Journal shares that seven would measure three stories, while the remaining building would measure four stories. Homes would span one-bedroom to three-bedroom layout plans. Developers are seeking approval under the Live Local Act, which would allow the developer to build a residential project in an area zoned for industrial development.

Under the Act, at least 40 percent of the units must be designated as affordable housing. According to Orange County records, the region’s area median income (AMI) is currently $90,400; to be considered for affordable housing, a resident could make no more than 120 percent of the AMI, which for a one-person household would be capped at $81,120 a year.
Communal amenities at Hanging Moss West would include a clubhouse and swimming pool. GrowthSpotter reports that construction could start in early 2026. Involved parties on the project include Kimley-Horn, Orlando Development Corporation, GeoOrbis, and Libra Design Group. Hanging Moss West could take shape east of N. Semoran Boulevard in Orlando, FL.
