Franco Scala’s brownstones of Thornton Park inspired by Carroll Gardens’ architecture
Last year, The Brownstones of Thornton Park near downtown Orlando, Florida, held the groundbreaking ceremony for a new $6 million residential development project that will give Orlando’s most stylish district a very distinctive Brooklyn flair, thanks to Franco Scala.
The Thornton Park district in Orlando was realizing what locals had called a “Renaissance” back in 2008, with high-rise apartment buildings, upscale restaurants and trendy retail shops being planned for development. When the economy, and especially the real estate markets, tanked, virtually all of the development projects came to a standstill.
Six years later, as the economy showed signs of slowly emerging from the long recession, some developers interested in Thornton Park began to pick up where they left off.
