Lake Mirror Tower

The Lake Mirror Tower, designated a historic site, is an example of local boom-time architecture. Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style, the building serves as one of historic Downtown Lakeland’s many signature landmarks standing proudly on the shores of Lake Mirror, overlooking Kryger Overloofk Park & the Promenade. Lake Mirror has been the focal point of the City of Lakeland’s improvements in recent years. Prior to an extended vacancy, the property served as a residence hotel for senior citizens.

Construction originally began on the landmark site in 1926 and was completed in 1935. The property is one of the three Lakeland ‘skyscrapers’ built in the 1920s. The redevelopment and historic renovation, with a total project cost of approximately $12.2 million, was a public/private partnership between Carlisle Development Group, the Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the City of Lakeland. It was also supported by the Lakeland Downtown Development Agency, (LDDA) and the Lakeland Historic Preservation Board. The apartment development has 76 apartment units consisting of 55- 1 bedroom/1bathroom units and 21- 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms units. Amenities include a lap pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, recreation room and pool table, covered parking, , key card entry, on site laundromat, and a rooftop sundeck that overlooks the entire city. What a view!
