The City of Orlando is an
International Business Center
A bustling downtown draws businesses of all types and is
especially strong in its ability to attract corporate headquarters.
Some of those that have recently settled in downtown Orlando
include Signature Flight Services, CuraScript and Indra Systems,
Inc.
The city's potential has only begun to be realized. Numerous
major multi-use commercial projects are on the drawing board. An
unprecedented level of office development is planned for downtown
Orlando. All told, more than one million additional square feet of
construction has been announced for the downtown business district.
But, downtown Orlando is more than just business. Ten public and
private secondary schools, all noted for excellence and innovative
teaching, bring schoolchildren of all socio-economic realms into
our downtown on a daily basis.
Downtown is also alive with higher education. In addition to its
downtown center that specializes in continuing education, the
University of
Central Florida’s Interactive Entertainment Academy’s (FIEA)
state-of-the-art facilities and faculty train graduate-level game
developers on an innovative campus once housed the City’s local
expo center. Florida A&M’s Law School opened in downtown
Orlando in fall 2002. Florida State University’s Medical School has a
regional campus in Delaney Park, just south of downtown, where
third and fourth year medical students complete their training
through involvement with two of the nation’s largest healthcare
systems, both of which are also located in downtown Orlando.
Valencia
Community College also has a downtown Orlando campus.
