Cypress Sound Breaks Ground Near Disney Springs: 84 Luxury Condos From $1.2 Million

One of the last quiet stretches near Disney Springs is about to get a marquee luxury address. According to reporting by GrowthSpotter, Orlando-based developer American Horizons Realty has permits in hand and construction underway on Cypress Sound, an 84-unit gated condominium community where pricing opens at $1.2 million per residence.

The site sits on 15 acres along Winter Garden Vineland Road, just south of the recently opened Evermore Resort and only minutes from Disney Springs. The developer acquired the land in 2022 for roughly $3.7 million and has now paired approved permits with a $30 million construction loan from BB Americas. General contractor Jordan Homes received a notice of recommencement on Aug. 20, the paperwork that signals work is restarting on the ground.

What is being built on Winter Garden Vineland Road

Cypress Sound is designed as a gated, resort-style enclave made up of three separate five-story buildings, each with identical square footage and the same unit count. Every building spans 121,440 square feet and holds 28 residences, with covered parking for owners and private garages reserved for the penthouse level.

The unit mix leans large and family-sized rather than compact. Across the community, plans call for 54 three-bedroom units, 18 four-bedroom units, and a dozen five-bedroom units. That scale is a deliberate pitch to second-home buyers who want the space of a house with the lock-and-leave ease of a condo, an increasingly common request in the corridor between Disney and Dr. Phillips.

Inside the penthouses

The top of the building is where Cypress Sound makes its luxury statement. The fifth-floor penthouses start at $2.8 million and deliver close to 4,000 square feet of interior living space, then extend outdoors with a roughly 1,783-square-foot roof deck built for entertaining.

Those roof decks are planned with lounge and dining areas, a private spa, a summer kitchen, and multiple gathering spaces. Each penthouse is set up with private elevator access and an owner suite that opens onto its own veranda. Taken together, the penthouse tier is aimed squarely at buyers who would otherwise be shopping branded residences but want a larger, more private floor plan.

The amenities campus

Beyond the residences, the site plan from the project engineer maps out a deep amenity package. Plans indicate two pickleball courts, a tennis court, a basketball court, a dog park, and a pool with a spa. Anchoring it all is a 3,600-square-foot clubhouse that would house a fitness center, three flex or work-from-home rooms described as “zoom” rooms, and a community room with a catering kitchen for private events.

The project team and timeline

Alongside American Horizons Realty, the build brings together a roster of local firms. Jordan Homes serves as general contractor, Harris Civil Engineers is the project engineer behind the site plan, and the design and site team also includes The Evans Group and landscape architecture firm Innovations Design Group.

With permits approved, financing closed, and the Aug. 20 recommencement notice in place, Cypress Sound has cleared the milestones that usually separate a proposed project from an active one. That combination is worth watching, because it moves the community from the drawing board into vertical reality.

A light real estate read on the project

For this pocket between Disney and Dr. Phillips, Cypress Sound is a meaningful demand signal. The developer is betting that buyers will pay luxury prices for large condos in a location defined by proximity to the parks, and that the demand runs deeper than the branded towers at Golden Oak can absorb on their own.

For nearby homeowners, a gated, resort-style condo community tends to be a stabilizing kind of neighbor: privately maintained, amenity-heavy, and oriented toward part-time residents rather than daily commuter traffic. Pricing below the Four Seasons Residences at Golden Oak and the Ritz-Carlton Residences also sets a useful comparison point for anyone weighing the luxury condo tier in this corridor.
