According to OBJ, a 15,000-square-foot food hall will open in downtown Orlando by the end of next year. The project is spearheaded by local developer and entrepreneur James Ekbatani.
The Eola Food Hall will occupy the first two floors of the four-story building at 150 E. Central Blvd that formerly housed the University Club of Orlando, per the OBJ.
“The food hall will offer a diverse mix of cuisines in the heart of downtown, catty-corner to Lake Eola Park. Notably, a 2020 city of Orlando survey showed access to food and beverage is the highest priority for Lake Eola Park visitors, more so than events,” the report states.
While the report did not specify offerings, the food hall will offer a diverse mix of cuisines.
“This is a much-needed addition for the business community and residents. The city government is really excited about it,” said Ekbatani to the OBJ.
