Jared Jones counts down 15 projects reshaping Central Florida, from hospital and airport plans to new sports and entertainment venues. This page checks where the biggest ones stand as of November 2026, using public reports and official project pages.

What is AdventHealth building in Orlando?

AdventHealth is building a $660 million, 14-story patient tower on its Orlando campus, according to Central Florida Public Media. Orlando Business Journal reported in March 2026 that AdventHealth is also planning a pedestrian bridge downtown as part of its campus work.

The tower is a multi-year project, so expect construction activity around the Orlando campus for several years.

When does Arte Museum open at ICON Park?

Arte Museum, the immersive digital art exhibition from Korean company d’strict, is coming to ICON Park on International Drive. GrowthSpotter reported in May 2026 that construction was expected to begin in August 2026, with opening expected in 2027.

It will be the brand’s first Florida location, according to ICON Park.

What is planned for the Ocoee pickleball complex?

Ocoee’s city commission approved the preliminary site plan for a pickleball complex on Jacob Nathan Boulevard on Sept. 16, 2025. Plans show 25 indoor courts, one outdoor championship court and three buildings, according to the West Orange Times and GrowthSpotter.

A preliminary approval is not a final site plan. ClickOrlando reported in August 2026 that neighbors were still debating the project, so check the city’s current status.

Did the Orlando Storm start playing?

Yes. The Orlando Storm played its first United Football League season in spring 2026, with home games at Inter&Co Stadium in downtown Orlando, according to the UFL and Spectrum News 13.

What is happening with Orlando Fashion Square?

Redevelopment of Orlando Fashion Square near Baldwin Park is still not underway. The City of Orlando approved a master plan in 2021 that allows 1,400 residential units, a hotel and retail, according to ClickOrlando.

GrowthSpotter reported a newer concept in 2025 with more apartments and less retail. As of late 2026, that concept is a proposal, not an approved project, and ownership issues remain unresolved, according to local reporting.

What do these projects mean if you are buying or selling?

Large projects can change traffic, jobs and nearby demand, but timelines often slip. Use official city and county records to confirm a project’s status before you treat it as a reason to buy in an area.
