The Amway Arena site, remade as an innovation district
noted Aug 31, 2026
Creative Village is the mixed-use, transit-oriented district built on the former Amway Arena site in downtown Orlando — higher education, mixed-income housing, student housing, offices and creative studios, retail and parks in one master plan. The UCF/Valencia Downtown Campus opened there in August 2019 with more than 8,000 students, faculty and staff, and Phase 1 was completed in August 2022: over $700 million of development including 260 mixed-income apartments, 640 student-housing beds, 701 market-rate apartments, Electronic Arts’ 176,000-sq-ft Orlando studio, 28,000 sq ft of ground-floor commercial space and the 2.3-acre Luminary Green park.
