A 77-acre entertainment and retail development called Ovation Orlando is targeting a 2028 opening near Walt Disney World Resort.
The project is planned for the former Orlando Sun Resort property at the intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. 192. Real estate company Accesso and venture partner Meyers Group bought the site in December 2025 for $73.3 million, according to plans shared by RSP Architects.
Ovation Orlando is envisioned as a $2 billion, music-inspired destination with 650,000 square feet of space. Plans call for restaurants, retail, entertainment and three hotels totaling 740 units. Construction is expected to begin in early 2027.
The development would be organized around an L-shaped main walkway and three distinct areas. The Waterfront Garden is planned to combine tropical landscaping, waterfront views, outdoor dining and boutiques. The Gallery would pair art, technology, retail, interactive installations and immersive environments, along with a hotel. The Vibe is intended as the nightlife-focused section, with bars, lounges and restaurants.
