The 2012 implosion of the old Amway Arena in Downtown Orlando paved the way for construction of Creative Village. In addition to apartment buildings, UCF and Valencia College opened their downtown campus in 2019, followed by a new campus for Electronic Arts’ Orlando studio, and Luminary Green Park opened in 2022. Phase 2 of Creative Village is now underway.
