Ron Schwartz Sells Interest in Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Cafe
WINTER PARK, Fla. - Winter Park entrepreneur Ron Schwartz has sold his interest in the award-winning Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café in downtown Winter Park to restaurant partner Mary Demetree.
Schwartz, who acquired his interest in the fine dining restaurant sidewalk café and bar in 2002, guided the landmark facility through major renovations and repositioning as one of the region’s best-known restaurants.
As operating partner, Schwartz developed and expanded sidewalk dining, introduced a contemporary fusion menu influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern and continental cuisine; expanded the restaurant’s accommodations outside the formal garden fine dining room; introduced a trendy martini menu and live entertainment to the sidewalk café, established a region-wide e-mail marketing and social network program, and instituted a server training program that included extended tours of California wineries.
Schwartz’s iconic improvements paid off---last year, Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café reported food and beverage sales in excess of $3 million.
Under Schwartz’ leadership, Park Plaza Gardens has given back to the community donating to many charitable organizations in Central Florida including the Council of 101, Hospice of the Comforter, Special Olympics, Morningstar School, Menello Museum and Boys Town.
Schwartz helped to shape the new political landscape in Winter Park encouraging business development, the closing of Park Avenue for special events, and free valet parking for Park Avenue visitors.
“We have developed a loyal following and I’m sure our friends and neighbors will continue to patronize the restaurant and bar,” said Schwartz.

Avalon Park Poised with Unique Opportunities for Medical Office, Residential Growth
ORLANDO, Fla. - Avalon Park in east Orlando, in the heart of Innovation Way, is poised for growth in medical professional offices and unique opportunities for private practitioners, including office-residential space.
Ross Halle, vice president of architecture and town planner at Avalon Park, said the 11-year-old community now features more than 3,500 homes on 1,860 acres with elementary, middle, technical and high schools, and a downtown district that will soon feature more than one million square feet of commercial space, rental apartments and town homes and public facilities.
“There are more than 10,000 people within a one mile radius of downtown Avalon Park and more than 50,000 people within a three-mile radius,” Halle said. “Almost half of the households near downtown Avalon Park earn more than $100,000 annually,” he said.
Avalon Park’s unique location – centrally located between the new Medical City, University of Central Florida, Central Florida Research Park and Orlando International Airport has earned its recognition as “Downtown East Orlando,” said Brendon Dedekind, director of business development for Avalon Park Group.
“Our new 45,000 square foot medical office building, which opened this year, is the perfect location for private and clinical practice health care professionals,” Dedekind said.
Development is underway of senior living facilities that will provide a wide range of services, including Alzheimer’s care.
Dedekind said the developer offers certain incentives including capital investment and attractive financing options.
“Avalon Park has matured as the optimal community to live, work and play,” Halle said.

Ross Halle, vice president of architecture and town planner at Avalon Park, said the 11-year-old community now features more than 3,500 homes on 1,860 acres with elementary, middle, technical and high schools, and a downtown district that will soon feature more than one million square feet of commercial space, rental apartments and town homes and public facilities.
“There are more than 10,000 people within a one mile radius of downtown Avalon Park and more than 50,000 people within a three-mile radius,” Halle said. “Almost half of the households near downtown Avalon Park earn more than $100,000 annually,” he said.
Avalon Park’s unique location – centrally located between the new Medical City, University of Central Florida, Central Florida Research Park and Orlando International Airport has earned its recognition as “Downtown East Orlando,” said Brendon Dedekind, director of business development for Avalon Park Group.
“Our new 45,000 square foot medical office building, which opened this year, is the perfect location for private and clinical practice health care professionals,” Dedekind said.
Development is underway of senior living facilities that will provide a wide range of services, including Alzheimer’s care.
Dedekind said the developer offers certain incentives including capital investment and attractive financing options.
“Avalon Park has matured as the optimal community to live, work and play,” Halle said.
