Flamingo Crossing Retail Center

[DznyGrlSD]

Photo update as of Wednesday, January 5, 2022. Some additional photos from Flamingo Crossing Retail Center. The vehicle barricades have been removed from the four approaches to the retail center of Flamingo Crossing. You are able to drive through the complex. The buildings are closed but completed on the outside. Some buildings have fences around the entrances, but you can still walk the sidewalks.

The Starbucks below is on the north side of Western Way, facing south.

Firehouse Subs (not open yet) is a block south of Western Way and facing north. The bushes in the median of Western Way are in the foreground. The elevated pedestrian walkway (orange) over Hartzog Road can be seen on the left of the below photo.

The elevated pedestrian walkway is of the same construction as those at Disney Springs, just a different color. This view is over Hartzog Road northbound. This walkway is between Western Way and Disney's cast member apartments.

These two towers for another elevated walkway are over Western Way, as viewed from the Starbucks parking lot. The towers contain stairways and an elevator.

Thanks for the report. I drive by here all the time but never think to take photos. Do you know why/what/where Hartzhog is under construction? I like to take that shortcut from Avalon but the "road closed" signs have been up for months now.

They are building a housing community back there along Hartzhog, but they have to do all the infrustructure first.

I believe that is where the Toll Brothers community is going to be. We were interested in it for a frw seconds until we saw the pricing structure and is why we are building in north Claremont.

The complex the CPs are currently in is for the international CPs once they eventually return. The complex they're just finishing up is intended for regular CPs. Traffic shouldn't increase much because international won't have cars.

They have a very very large parking lot for individuals not having cars.

Parking lot size is set by zoning codes based on building type. They have to have at least 1 spot per unit, with that increasing based on the number of bedrooms in a unit plus visitor parking.

Ah. That makes sense.

It was also very common for CRPs to buy cars and sell them to another CRP at the end of their program, along with a lot of Canadians driving down for their program.

Hartzog south of Western Way is being completely rerouted and the existing “Hartzog Rd” south of the new CP housing already has a new name. They just finished some initial paving on the new Hartzog Rd and where the new turn lanes are a little north of the original Hartzog intersection with Avalon is where it will come out when completed.

Flamingo is a good option if you don't want to be robbed and/or killed in Florida.

Have you seen the news from other areas with the same population? Not different unless you are in Hialeah

Any timeframe on when firehouse and the pizza locations, Domino’s and Pieology I believe, will be opening?

Firehouse still needs a LOT of work inside - maybe next month?

It took quite a while for 5 Guys to open. I think some of these retailers are holding out for more occupancy in the Disney Campuses. I dont know what Disney is charging for rent but Im sure its a prime rate.

both sets of apartments are now open AFAIK. We're just missing the international kids at this point

You're really brave.

I'd rather just fly down, tourist areas are always kinda sketchy.
