MADISON LANDING II Providing Affordable Housing for Seniors in Orange County

Providing affordable housing to low-income seniors in Orange County has been prioritized as part of Orange County’s Housing for All Task Force, with many of these projects being arranged through public-private partnerships (PPP). Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings launched the Housing for All Task Force to prioritize short and long-term solutions to address the affordable housing crisis in Orange County. The Housing for All Task Force held its final meeting on November 15, 2019, presenting a 10year action plan that addresses housing affordability and supply by removing regulatory barriers, creating new financial resources, targeting areas of access and opportunity, and engaging the community and industry.

In partnership with Orange County, American Residential Communities (ARC) and New South Residential, LLC - WPC recently completed construction of Madison Landing II a $16.9 million – 94,488 SF affordable senior housing community located on 5.4 acres of land near Millenia Mall at 5808 S. Rio Grande Avenue in Orlando, Florida.

On a monumental December day in 2021 - WPC broke ground on Madison Landing II while at the same time cut the ribbon on Madison Landing. Madison Landing is a $23 million – 105,011 SF affordable senior housing community located on 5.4 acres of land next to the phase II.

Stacy Banach with New South Residential worked with the developer to bring the project into fruition shares, “We were pleased to have timed ribbon cutting of Madison Landing with the groundbreaking for Madison II – a first for Orange County. This was made possible thanks to Orange County’s commitment to affordable housing and WPC’s commitment to completing the project on schedule. Most importantly, we are delighted to bring more quality affordable housing to the residents of Orange County.”

WPC is the general contractor for the project, Hamilton Engineer & Surveying, LLC. is the civil engineer, Ingenuity Engineer, Inc. is MEP Engineer, Dansk Consulting, Inc. is the structural engineer.

The need for affordable housing solutions for seniors is not specific to Orange County, it’s a focus across most of Florida. New South Residential and WPC are currently working on several other senior housing communities in Florida. In late 2022, they completed Madison Highlands in Hillsborough County. Currently, they are underway with Madison Grove in Osceola County and Madison Oaks West in Marion County.
