Lift Orlando, a nonprofit group focused on holistic community transformation, and Columbia Residential partnered to develop Pendana at West Lakes. The 12-acre multi-family development is located on the former Washington Shores Village site near downtown Orlando, Florida. With over 200 mixed income and affordable housing residential units, Pendana has helped to kickstart a larger revitalization effort for the West Lakes neighborhood. Project amenities include a community pool, community outdoor gathering spaces, playground, festival street, and pond overlook which create a luxurious oasis for all residents and provides a beautiful backdrop for the rest of the neighborhood. The name Pendana, meaning love one another in Swahili, was chosen by community members to reflect their desire for a holistic and welcoming neighborhood.
