A new-to-Orlando restaurant concept may open in one of Central Florida’s in-demand vacant restaurant spaces.

The highly acclaimed Luma on Park closed its eatery in September after 15 years of operation, resulting in roughly 11,000 square feet of restaurant space being marketed along high-end shopping district Park Avenue.
