Green Garden Village is moving closer to becoming a reality in Osceola County.

Panacea Global Energy has received final site plan approval for its planned $500 million clean energy campus at the Poinciana SunRail site and says it expects to break ground in about eight weeks. According to CEO John Darling, the company is finishing its building permit plans now and aims to submit them by the end of the month.

That makes this one of the biggest updates yet for a project that has been in the works since 2023.

Green Garden Village Set to Break Ground at Poinciana SunRail

What’s Planned for Phase 1

The first phase has been revised to focus more on manufacturing and job creation. The updated plan includes:

• two factories
• a data center
• a six-story office building
• a welcome center

Panacea says phase 1 will create more than 500 jobs, out of the 1,200 total jobs projected for the full Green Garden Village campus.

One factory will produce solar-assisted heat pump water heaters and also house Panacea’s EV battery recycling operation. The second factory will be the future U.S. home of LumiVolt, a company that makes commercial-grade windows that also function as solar panels. That facility alone is expected to create 200 to 250 jobs.

The land once planned for a soccer stadium will now be used for that second factory, showing a clear shift toward employment and production space.

Office, Housing, and Amenities

The project is not just industrial. It is being designed as a mixed-use campus.

The office building will serve as the U.S. headquarters for CMG CleanTech and will be connected to a two-story welcome center with a product showroom and employee training space. Other planned tenants include Unity Group and The Genius Group, which is expected to build out a U.S. sales and marketing team there.

Green Garden Village will also include a mixed-use residential building with about 42,000 square feet of retail and commercial space on the ground floor and 80 apartments above. Those apartments are planned specifically for employees working at the campus.

Other amenities in the plan include a restaurant, walking trails, padel courts, golf simulators, and extensive landscaping.

Why This Matters

This is a major step forward for a project that has had a long path to get here.

Panacea first worked with Osceola County on a different site near Valencia College’s Poinciana campus, but that plan faced strong opposition from nearby residents. The company later shifted its focus to the 63-acre Poinciana SunRail property, where county commissioners began negotiations in early 2024.

Now, with final site plan approval in place, Green Garden Village appears to be moving beyond the proposal stage and into real pre-construction progress.

Green Garden Village is shaping up to be more than just another development at the SunRail station.

With two factories, a data center, office space, employee housing, and retail all planned in phase 1, the project is being positioned as a major employment and clean energy hub for Osceola County. There is still work ahead on permits and construction, but this is one of the clearest signs yet that the project is finally moving forward.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When we found out we were moving across the country to the Orlando area, we started watching Jared Jones’ Orlando housing market videos on YouTube. His videos provided a ton of great information about the different communities, neighborhoods, and the Orlando housing market and really helped us get familiar with the area before making the move. As good as Jared’s videos are, his team is even better in person! We had the pleasure of working with Leonard O’Connor, and he was awesome from the very beginning. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Leonard took the time to show us several existing homes and really helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. Once we zeroed in on the right property, Leonard was there every step of the way. He helped us through the negotiations and, because we were still living across the country, went above and beyond to help with measurements and other things we needed taken care of before we could arrive in Orlando. Having someone local we could trust made a huge difference and took a lot of stress out of buying a home from thousands of miles away. The entire process went incredibly smoothly, and closing was a breeze. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re moving to the Orlando area—especially if you’re relocating from out of state—I highly recommend Jared Jones, Leonard O’Connor, and the eXp Realty team. Great communication, great service, and people who genuinely work hard for their clients. Five stars all the way!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jared and his team helped me and my family in purchasing a home in Orlando and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are extremely knowledgeable about the greater Orlando area which was important to me moving from New Jersey. They kept us informed every step of the way and did a phenomenal job when it came time to present an offer and close the deal. This team is top notch!

His communication throughout the process was exemplary and his vast experience shown through in his advice and negotiating skills. Leonard and the whole team at Jared Jones Realty worked together seamlessly to assist us every step of the way through the home buying process. We couldn’t be happier!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Selling a home from overseas could have been stressful, but Jared and his team made the whole process feel incredibly straightforward. From the very beginning we felt we were in safe hands. Jared was always approachable, responsive and happy to answer any questions we had. His communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated every step of the way, and his advice was always honest and reassuring. The professional photography and video marketing were first class and really showed our Davenport home at its very best. What impressed us most was how much Jared genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. Even when unexpected issues arose during the sale, he remained calm, proactive and worked hard to keep everything moving towards a successful closing. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor and would wholeheartedly recommend Jared Jones and his team to anyone buying or selling a home in the Davenport and Central Florida area. Thank you, Jared, for all your hard work, professionalism and support—it has been a pleasure working with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I purchased a home in Kissimmee, Florida and it was by far the best home buying experience we have ever had. This is our 7th home we have purchased. Stephany Cornelius was our Realtor from Jared Jones Real Estate Team and we couldn't have been more pleased. She made the process so easy, less stressful and guided us through every aspect including a very quick closing. I highly recommend Stephany if you're trying to navigate the home buying experience here in Florida.
