The Florence Place Apartments, designed by Powell Studio Architecture, is an 88-unit affordable housing community located on a picturesque 6-acre site along Griffin Road in Lakeland, Florida. The development comprises four garden-style apartment buildings centered around a clubhouse, pool, and playground.
There are two distinct apartment building types, with a meticulous breakdown of unit distribution. Notably, the project underscores accessibility, incorporating fully accessible variants in compliance with Florida Housing requirements—ensuring 5% of the units meet UFAS standards, with an additional 2% tailored for residents with audio/visual impairments.
These specialized units, all situated on the ground floor, are designed to interchangeably accommodate both accessibility features. The clubhouse, serving as the leasing office, spans approximately 3,000 square feet and includes amenities such as a fitness center, community library, computer room, and meeting space. The pool and exterior-accessed restrooms are also integral to the clubhouse, enhancing recreational options for residents.
