Where Central Florida Grows Next and What It Takes to Build There
Central Florida’s next development opportunities span the places people live, work, shop and receive care. For developers, investors and construction partners, the challenge is identifying where demand supports a project, which uses a community needs and how to deliver within today’s financial and construction constraints.
Join Bisnow’s Central Florida Construction & Development Summit for direct perspectives from the developers, owners and healthcare leaders making those decisions. Explore opportunities across multifamily and residential development, industrial and logistics, retail, office, hospitality, mixed-use and healthcare real estate, alongside the neighborhood partnerships that help support lasting value.
Hear from AdventHealth, Onicx Group, Barry Development Group, Ryan Companies and BEAR Construction on the evolution of outpatient facilities and neighborhood care. Gain investment and development perspectives from Machete Group, Lincoln Property Company, KABR Group and Becknell Industrial, and explore how Ustler Development, JETT Retail Development, Tavistock, CynerGreen Development and Skorman Development approach the places serving Central Florida’s growing communities. LIFT Orlando, Atrium Development Company and VelocityRED bring the neighborhood perspective: how individual investments can contribute to broader community success.
Come away with a clearer framework for evaluating your next site, investment or development partnerships and connect with the people working across the region’s development pipeline.
What You’ll Take Back to Your Next Deal or Development:
Where the investment case is strongest: Understand how developers compare submarkets, tenant demand and project economics when deciding where to commit capital.
What makes a project financially viable: Explore how financing, construction costs, insurance, property taxes and timing influence development decisions.
How healthcare expansion creates real estate opportunity: Learn what drives demand for HealthParks, medical offices, surgery centers and outpatient campuses—and what makes a site suitable.
What industrial users need next: Examine how land availability, access and tenant requirements shape warehouse and logistics development.
How housing supports broader commercial growth: Explore when residential demand translates into opportunities for retail, services, workplaces and other community uses.
What makes mixed-use development work: Understand how developers select uses, sequence delivery and create destinations that serve residents, businesses and visitors.
Where downtown and suburban opportunities differ: Consider the demand, infrastructure and development conditions that shape investment in the urban core and emerging growth corridors.
How neighborhood partnerships support lasting value: Learn how developers can engage local organizations and residents to connect viable projects with community priorities.

Building Central Florida’s Next Places to Live, Work & Gather
Population growth creates demand for housing, but successful communities also need places to work, shop, gather and access everyday services. Hear how Central Florida developers determine the right combination of uses, attract tenants and sequence projects as neighborhoods evolve. Drawing on their development portfolios, panelists will explore how site planning, infrastructure, public spaces and local partnerships influence what gets built. The discussion will also consider how property taxes affect development feasibility and the cost of delivering these places. |
