FLORIDA LAND & ENTITLEMENT INTELLIGENCE

What’s moving through Florida’s entitlement pipeline.
NO. 001 · JULY 16, 2026 · ORLANDO MSA
2 new filings in the window; 42 entitled sites sit quiet 18+ months.
A quiet week on paper, two filings in the window, but both carry a read. Orange County took in a 1.38 acre rezoning at 6025 Cinderlane Parkway seeking IND-2 and IND-3, filed through Lowndes (M. Rebecca Wilson); a small industrial upzone arriving through major land use counsel usually means a specific user is already attached. The City of Orlando logged a rezoning and PD amendment at 1616 Mercy Drive with no stated program, which is what repositioning entitlements looks like before the ask becomes public. The deeper signal sits in the stall list: 42 entitled sites in this market have gone 18 months or more with no recorded follow-up, including 380 approved units in Seminole County quiet since 2023. Entitled and idle is where off-market conversations start; the five largest are below.

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS · NO HEARING REQUIRED · TRACKING 8 Nothing new this week. Live Local and administrative approvals bypass public hearings entirely; when one moves in this market, it appears here.
APPROVED, THEN 18+ MONTHS OF SILENCE
Z2022-34 · 380-unit comp plan amendment · 380 units. | 34 MO QUIET |
| 380 approved units with no recorded movement since late 2023. Paper entitlement value plus visible inactivity is the classic profile of a position that trades. |

LUP-18-06-204 · Golden Keys Condo PD. | 58 MO QUIET |
| A PD approved in 2021 with nearly five years of silence since. At this age the entitlement itself may need refreshing, which is exactly the conversation that shakes a site loose. |
