To the east, Tavistock is working on another development that will be double the size of Lake Nona at 24,000 acres and promises to further change the face of Central Florida. Sunbridge will straddle two counties, with most of the community in Osceola and the rest in Orange.
Plans call for the project to focus first on residential development, gradually integrating commercial opportunities and other types of construction to form a community focused on preservation and innovation. The vision calls for miles of connected trails and nearly 13,000 acres of conservation land.
Tavistock Development Company President Jim Zboril is excited about both Lake Nona and Sunbridge, which will continue to bring more visitors to Central Florida — people who just might decide to stay and help shape the region’s future.
“For us, it’s an amazing front porch to tell the story of Orlando, the other half of it,” he says. “Everybody knows about Orlando, but they don’t know about other businesses here outside the tourism industry.
