Gateway Gardens is a landmark mixed-use development in Winter Park, Florida, designed by Halflants + Pichette, Orlando architects recognized for their innovative work in urban and commercial design. Located at the intersection of North Orlando Avenue and Orange Avenue, the two-hundred-thousand-square-foot project transforms a prominent city gateway into a destination for health, hospitality, and community. The design combines architecture, landscape, and transit infrastructure to create a dynamic civic hub that supports wellness and public engagement.
The first phase integrates medical, wellness, and hospitality programs within a connected framework. A wellness center and spa are joined by cosmetic surgery facilities, a hotel with one hundred long-term recovery suites, and one hundred short-term suites. A full-service restaurant, rooftop bar, and resort-scale pool complement the hospitality program. Parking is located underground, freeing the ground level for a public park and pedestrian areas that extend the experience beyond the buildings. A dramatic roof overhang links two sculptural structures and defines a covered drop-off that also functions as a SunRail station, merging transportation and arrival in one gesture.
