Accesso has purchased 76 acres in the Orlando, Fla., area on which it will develop the Ovation Orlando mixed-use complex that will have retail space, hotels, and residential condominiums.
The Hallandale Beach, Fla., investment manager bought the parcel, at 6375 West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, Fla., from an affiliate of Moinian Group of New York in a deal arranged by Cushman & Wakefield.
The site, at the intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. 192, less than a mile from Walt Disney World, was purchased for more than $70 million. It’s at the southern end of a 12-mile area that includes Disney World and a number of other theme parks and attractions that are considered Orlando’s economic engine.
Accesso’s development plans include 670,000 square feet of retail space, including musical-themed restaurants, 740 hotel rooms and condos, and entertainment venues. It’s offering the hotel sites for sale.
“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,” said Alan Garzon, managing partner of Accesso Development. Accesso had contracted to buy the property in 2022 and since then has lined up bond financing, zoning approvals, and completed certain improvements.
The development plans call for the property to be split into five zones with various characteristics. Zone One, or the Celebration, will have retail, dining, and entertainment establishments, green spaces, and seating areas.
Subsequent zones include the Water’s Edge, a dining area along a three-acre lake; the Indulgence, which will include a hotel; the Street, with retail and dining establishments that will be modeled on Manhattan’s Times Square area; and the Beat, which will include music venues, clubs, and restaurants.
The master-planned development is being pitched as Broadway New York meets Broadway Nashville because of its mix of dining and entertainment venues.
Accesso already has leased space at the proposed complex, according to Warren Dauber, vice president of leasing. “The combination of all of the positive attributes of this location … has generated terrific leasing momentum with much of the available spaces committed,” he said.
The Orlando area drew some 75 million visitors in 2024—more than any other tourist destination in the country. The area also has been the second-fastest growing metropolitan area by population over the past 10 years.
