A $300,000 commercial remodel permit names Orangetheory Fitness as a tenant at 1065 Florida Avenue South.

Permits filed with the City of Lakeland show an Orangetheory Fitness studio being built out at 1065 Florida Avenue South, Unit 2. The commercial remodel permit (valued at $300,000) was issued in April 2026, followed by fire-sprinkler work to add and relocate heads in the existing system. The property owner listed is Waller Development Inc., with Waller Construction as building contractor.

Sign work moved through Lakeland's historic-preservation review over the spring and summer. Two "install sign" requests were denied, but the board later issued certificates of review for hanging signs at Units 1 and 2 and for a new face on the existing monument sign, which was permitted and finaled in July 2026.

The building sits in a historic-review area, so exterior changes needed Historic Preservation Board sign-off. The records name Orangetheory for Unit 2; the tenant for Unit 1 is not stated.

What happens next

Build-out proceeds under the issued permits; the state kitchen/occupancy steps aren't part of these records. Watch for a final building inspection on the remodel.
