A master plan approval request was filed Jan. 19 with the city of Orlando by project developer Mill Creek Residential Trust for Modera Baldwin Square — a proposed 324-unit apartment community spanning two buildings of five and six stories.

The project will rise on 5.37 acres of city-owned land at 756 Bennett Road that Mill Creek Residential has under contract for the city for $8 million. A spokeswoman for the city said the sale is expected to close around June, once the planning process is complete.
