What is actually being built here.

Market data tells you what is happening now. These projects are why demand may look different in five years, and they land in ZIP codes you can name.

Every project below carries a confidence rating, because some of the ones people quote at you are not actually funded. Read those labels before you plan around anything here.

Committed: Money is allocated and work is underway or finished.
Announced: Approved or agreed, but the full timeline is not locked.
Proposed: An idea with real backing but no funding or start date. Do not plan around it.

14 corridors · 25 projects

Every card says what its image actually is. Most are photographs, and the caption names the place. 5 projects have a subject no photograph here matches, a chip fab and a rocket factory among them, so those carry a generated illustration of the right kind of building. None of these are the real sites and none are developer renderings.

The Universal resort area. Epic Universe is a separate park on Universal Boulevard.

Investment

About $7B

Timeline

Opened May 22, 2025

Jobs

About 65,000 construction jobs; 17,500+ new jobs in year one

Universal's fourth Orlando park on roughly 750 acres, opened with three hotels alongside it: Stella Nova, Terra Luna and Helios Grand. It drove twelve straight months of year-over-year growth in Orange County tourist tax collections in its first year.

What it means for housing

This is the biggest new employment center in south Orange County in decades. It supports higher-wage hospitality management demand across Dr. Phillips, Windermere and Horizon West, and line-level worker demand in Kissimmee, Poinciana and Buenaventura Lakes.

Read this carefully

Phase 2 is unconfirmed. Universal said in February 2026 that it continues to scale Epic Universe, but has published no lands, budget or dates, and 2026 trade press contradicts itself on whether expansion sped up or paused.

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's ten-year plan, including the completed $1.8B South Terminal C and the $462M Terminal C expansion that opened in July 2026. Brightline's Orlando station sits inside the airport's intermodal terminal.

What it means for housing

The airport anchors the southeast Orlando growth quadrant: Lake Nona, Narcoossee, Boggy Creek, Meadow Woods, Hunter's Creek and now St. Cloud. Together with Medical City it is why 32827, 32832, 32824 and 32829 are among the most active new construction ZIPs in the metro.

Jobs

Not disclosed

A roughly $1B overhaul of AdventHealth's main Orlando campus, anchored by a 14-story patient and surgical tower with 440 inpatient beds and 24 operating rooms. AdventHealth cites roughly 1,500 people moving to the Orlando area every week as the driver.

What it means for housing

This concentrates thousands of permanent healthcare jobs plus a large construction workforce in the downtown, College Park and Ivanhoe corridor, which is one of the metro's supply-constrained submarkets. Healthcare is Orlando's most durable non-tourism employment base.

What it means for housing

The convention center is the demand engine for the entire I-Drive hospitality workforce. Expansion sustains hotel and service employment in south Orange County and supports the mid-priced rental corridor through Sand Lake, Meadow Woods, Williamsburg and south Kissimmee.

What it means for housing

This is where buyers priced out of Lake Nona land. It also means long-run resale competition from new construction is structurally elevated for anyone buying in St. Cloud or Narcoossee. Good for buyers, harder for sellers of 2021 and 2022 vintage resales.

What it means for housing

This is the metro's top-performing price band, with 34786 and 32836 running above 50% five-year growth on high-income, school-driven demand. It is also one of the heaviest new-construction competition zones, so builder incentives directly compress resale pricing power here.

Broke ground December 2024; completion late 2028, opening 2029

Jobs

Not disclosed

A 16-gate, 600,000 square foot airside terminal serving both domestic and international flights, with a customs facility and two airline lounges. It becomes the airport's primary international gateway. The opening slipped from 2028 to 2029 during design.

What it means for housing

Airport employment and the airline bases around it sit in west Tampa, and the ZIP codes immediately around the field are among the softer readings in Hillsborough County. A gateway of this size is a long-run demand argument for those areas rather than a near-term one, because hiring follows the opening rather than the construction.

Read this carefully

The opening date has already moved once. Treat 2029 as the working date and the terminal as a 2029 employment event, not a 2028 one.

Timeline

Phased; several towers completing through 2026

Jobs

Nearly 9,000 jobs across construction and operation

A mixed-use district spanning roughly 27 acres across ten blocks in Park West, delivered in phases by several development partners. A 32-story, 606-residence tower topped off in late 2025 with closings anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, and further towers are under construction.

What it means for housing

This is one of the largest additions of urban housing supply in Florida, and it lands in a submarket where the product is towers rather than houses. Several of the buildings carry no rental restrictions, which means a meaningful share of the units can enter the short-term and long-term rental pools directly.

Read this carefully

A district this size delivers over years, not at once. Read a completion date on one tower as a date for that tower, and remember that units sold out before construction are not the same as units occupied.

What it means for housing

Hospital campuses are among the most reliable housing demand generators there are, because the employment is large, salaried, around the clock and does not leave when tourism softens. The ZIP codes immediately around this site are already reading tighter than Lee County as a whole.

Master-planned town, 19,500 homes at build-out

Timeline

Building since 2018; multi-decade build-out

Jobs

Not disclosed

A master-planned town northeast of Punta Gorda, planned for 19,500 homes at build-out and still in active construction, with new subdivisions receiving preliminary plat approval through 2026 and a walkable mixed-use commercial district underway. It recorded 470 home sales in the first four months of 2026.

What it means for housing

This is the single largest source of new supply in Charlotte County, and it competes directly with resale listings across the county. A seller in Punta Gorda is negotiating against a sales office here whether or not they realise it, and against incentive packages that never appear as a price cut in any dataset.

Read this carefully

New supply cuts both ways for a buyer. It is leverage on a resale purchase and it is competition when you come to sell. Several national production builders are active on the site, and their incentives move faster than resale prices do.

Timeline

Construction complete August 2028

Jobs

Not disclosed

A rebuild of EverBank Stadium including a partial roof, expanded and elevated concourses and a park-like entrance. The city issued a permit for $696.5 million of work in February 2026, the largest single portion of the project, and in-bowl demolition has begun.

What it means for housing

The relevant thing for housing is not the stadium, it is the sports and entertainment district being assembled around it on the north bank. Downtown Jacksonville and the neighborhoods immediately south of the river have historically read very differently from each other, and this is the largest public bet yet on closing that gap.

Read this carefully

Public money at this scale draws speculation on nearby parcels well ahead of any actual change. Read the ZIP codes here on their own numbers, not on the stadium.

What it means for housing

Port and logistics employment is the quiet demand story on Jacksonville's north side. It is shift work in warehousing and distribution rather than office employment, and it supports the more affordable ZIP codes around the island rather than the ones downtown.

Jobs

Not disclosed

The agreement approved by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District entitles a fifth major theme park, two minor parks, more hotel rooms, and retail. It requires at least half of construction work go to Florida firms, at least $10M toward attainable housing, and 100 acres donated to the district. Announced lands include Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom (2027), Piston Peak (2028 to 2029) and Villains Land (2030 to 2031).

What it means for housing

A fifteen to twenty year construction pipeline in southwest Orange and northwest Osceola. It sustains construction trade employment along the 192 and Celebration corridor and supports rental demand in Celebration, Horizon West, Windermere, Davenport and ChampionsGate.

Read this carefully

The $17B figure is an entitlement ceiling, not a spending commitment. The binding floor is $8B over ten years. Anyone quoting $17B as planned spending is overstating it. The $10M attainable housing commitment is small relative to the need.

Brevard is the highest-wage-growth housing market in Central Florida and the least tourism-dependent. These salaries support Viera, Suntree, Merritt Island, Rockledge and Titusville. Titusville is the value play: closest to the pads, cheapest entry price.

SR-516 collapses the Clermont to Horizon West and Disney drive time, so expect Clermont and Four Corners to absorb buyers priced out of 34787.

What it means for housing

Be careful with this one. Data centers are capital-intensive and job-light: 450 permanent jobs on $2.6B is a poor ratio next to NeoCity's 600 jobs on $470M. The real effects are a temporary construction workforce, upward pressure on land prices and electricity rates, and a narrative that inflates Polk County land speculation.

Read this carefully

Read this one carefully. There is no construction start date, no committed state or federal funding, and the Tampa station location study is still underway. Brightline deferred a bond interest payment in July 2025, which clouds its ability to raise the capital.
