ABOUT LAKE NONA

Southeast Orlando’s Lake Nona consistently ranks among the Top 10 fastest-growing communities in America. In the last decade, an investment of more than $3 billion has resulted in 10 million square feet of residential and commercial construction — and Tavistock Development Company plans to invest another billion dollars over the next three years. The 17-square-mile master-planned community is home to a variety of sustainably designed neighborhoods, from apartment complexes to gated country club estates. Top-rated schools, from early childhood to the graduate level, serve 12,000 on-site students. There’s also a 650-acre, 5,000-employee Medical City life sciences cluster; a 300-acre Sports & Performance District; diverse work spaces; recreational facilities; and a growing Town Center. Lake Nona encompasses 44 miles of planned trails, 1,000 acres of lakes and waterways, and 40 percent conserved green space. And it’s the first gigabit community in Florida, offering lightning-fast Internet as well as a futuristic wellness home lab. Adjacent to Orlando International Airport, Lake Nona is planned for millions of square feet of commercial space, thousands of hotel rooms, more than 25,000 residents and more than 100 shops and restaurants. The 21-year-old community — which has seen its most rapid period of growth over the past five years or so — is being developed by Tavistock Development Company, a diversified real-estate firm owned by Tavistock Group.
