Property owner USS Realty, LLC and Orlando-based Darden Restaurants Inc. affiliate N and D Restaurants, Inc. will receive a 15-year tax exemption for the $1.59 million, 7,500-square-foot project at Marburg Avenue and Vandercar Way, which is pursuing LEED Silver certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.
The exemption will lower the development's property tax liability by approximately $66,000 over the life of the agreement.
The Olive Garden is the first restaurant tenant to sign on as part of the 74-acre development.
A 59,000-square-foot, 14-screen Cinemark movie theater is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion in September. At build out, the $120 million mixed-use project will also include the 302-unit Boulevard at Oakley Station apartments, 225,000 square feet of retail space, and 300,000 square feet of Class A office space.
