With snow covering debris and temperatures in the teens, work continued at the Old Factory Outlet Mall today (1.16.18).
Demo on the main mall started Dec. 28 and when completely demolished, will be replaced with The Lake District (TLD). It is to be an upscale 160+ acre mixed-use community surrounding a 10-acre lake and waterways. The location is on the southeast corner of I-40 and Canada Road in Lakeland.
The Annex Building on the property was demolished in the fall.
TLD is to be a walkable community with parks, water features, retail, restaurants, two hotels, 360 homes, 220 rentals over retail, 15 pad sites and office space and assisted living. It is to contain 279,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The former Mall was almost 300,000 square feet with 1,400 parking spaces.
