ORLANDO, Fla. – January 2, 2026 – Accesso, a fully integrated investment manager, owner, and operator of multi-tenant retail, office, mixed use and multifamily assets, today announced that it has purchased over 76 acres of land located at the northeast intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. 192 in Osceola County, within the Orlando MSA, to develop Ovation Orlando, a dynamic master-planned mixed use entertainment district slated to break ground in Q1 2026. The site was acquired for over $70 million.
Designed to become Orlando’s next signature destination, Ovation Orlando will offer 670,000 square feet of experiential retail, elevated dining including musical themed restaurants, lifestyle amenities, culture, entertainment, 740 hotel rooms and condos, and other attractions, creating a year-round magnet for both visitors and residents. Hotel pads are currently being offered for sale within Ovation.
“This land acquisition is a pivotal milestone in bringing the Ovation project to life, and we look forward to fully realizing our vision for this transformative mixed-use district,” stated Alan Garzon, Managing Partner of Accesso Development.
Bill Shewalter, Executive Vice President of Development, said, “Ovation Orlando is situated in one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing visitor markets in America. Its location at such an important intersection, near many iconic attractions, sets the stage for the development to become an iconic destination.”
Ovation Orlando is divided into five adjacent zones:
- Zone One – The Celebration will offer inviting and walkable space with adult and family-friendly retail, dining and entertainment featuring green spaces, pop-up vendors, and a relaxed seating environment;
- Zone Two – The Water’s Edge will include world-class dining along the shoreline at our three-acre lake;
- Zone Three – The Indulgence is designed to be a sophisticated hub and will include a signature hotel;
- Zone Four – The Street will offer unique retail, restaurants and entertainment with a design reminiscent of Times Square, and;
- Zone – The Beat will bring the project to life with its diverse and lively music and late-night themed clubs, music venues and restaurants offered with an edge that will make Ovation Orlando unique to Florida.
“The combination of all of the positive attributes of this location, in this market, with this mix of design and merchandise, has generated terrific leasing momentum with much of the available spaces committed,” said Warren Dauber, Vice President of Leasing.
Once complete, the property will include multiple hotels, enabling easy and convenient stays for tourists visiting from around the globe. Retail offerings will include upscale brands, new concepts as well as unique corporate flag attractions. Entertainment options will encompass live music, comedy, bowling and other themed attractions, in addition to nationally recognized dining and nightlife establishments.
Shewalter continued, “The economic impact that Ovation Orlando’s mixed-use development will have on Osceola County and greater Orlando will be uniquely significant, bringing thousands of construction and permanent jobs along with high-end retailers and entertainment to the region. We are grateful to Osceola County officials for their support of this game-changing opportunity and are excited to move forward.”
“Tourism is a cornerstone of our economy, and Project Ovation builds on that strength while delivering real benefits for our residents, from creating hundreds of jobs to providing significant direct investment in our community,” said Commissioner Brandon Arrington, Chairman of the Osceola Board of County Commissioners. “By attracting destination-style amenities to the heart of Central Florida’s tourism corridor, we’re working to deliver on our Board’s vision to bring new opportunities for world-class leisure, dining, and entertainment activities without having to leave Osceola County.”
The Orlando market is the number one tourist destination in the U.S., welcoming 75 million visitors in 2024 – more than New York City, Las Vegas and every other U.S. tourist destination. The Orlando MSA has been the second-fastest-growing U.S. metro area by population percentage over the past decade and has the largest concentration of hotel plus time share units in the country.
