5 percent a year ago, said Collierw Arnold in Orlando, a real estat e services firm. In addition, the averagew rental rate is $25.64 per square foot, down 5.4 percentt from $27.10 per square foot a year ago. In comparison, the overallk Winter Park/Maitland submarket charges an averageof $21.69 per square foot for retail space and had a 10.5 perceny vacancy rate for year-end said the . To addressa the problems, the city commissioned a $55,000 study on the matted by Charleston, S.C.-based America’sd Research Group, a consumer and marketf research firm.
The study will try to revitalizePark Avenue’xs image through new marketing efforts, city-supported events where streets are closed off and other strategies to increase business. The city will also look at an alcohol ordinancer on June 8 that would allow eating and drinking establishmentbesides seated-service restaurants to servw beer and wine, she Joanne McMahon, principal of 310 Park South Restaurant, agreesz rents are higher on Park Avenuer than in most retail but said her business still gets enough foot traffic to make up for it.
In business is good enough for McMahon’d 130-seat, 2,800-square-foot restaurant to expand by 2,300 square feet and add 60 seats this Even local landlords are tryinb to spice upPark Avenue. Larry Williams, owner of Winter Park-based , said his company this year finisheda $2 millioj renovation of the old Jacobson’s space that was vacated in 1999.
