Orlando, Florida – City officials gave the final green light to Orlando’s downtown sports and entertainment district on Monday.
The sprawling 8.5-acre complex will be built next to the Kia Center at West Church Street and South Huey Avenue in downtown Orlando, and construction is expected to begin in late 2024, according to a news release. That’s what it means.
The 900,000-square-foot mixed-use project will include a hotel, 270 residential units, a 3,500-person live entertainment venue, office space, and a variety of dining and shopping options.
